It's my second favourite time of year again!!! Less than a month from now, the Chicago Auto Show will be here!

And much to my own surprise, like last year I'll be tagging along with the rest of Social Media before the general public. Maybe I might run into some Jalopnik writers?

I'll be covering whatever I find interesting, but I also take requests!!!

Also, if any other Oppos are heading that way (UM Kinja?), perhaps an Oppo meet?

I'm taking my girlfriend to see the project I've been on for the past 4 years.

It'll be there

Me and a couple of local car groups are cruising up there on the first Sunday. I can't wait either.

I will be there. Don't suppose those social media credentials extend to cover the admin of the #1 regional Kinja in the world, do they?

Looks like I've only been approved for one. However, I'm pretty sure you could easily get one (and maybe the other admins) by requesting credentials using your Kinja blog.

I'm trying to go but between work and a pregnant wife close to her due date I don't know if I'll make it. Sucks too cause its been a few years since the last time I went.

You don't have to answer this if you're not comfortable with it:

1) Do you have a job that requires lots of calling?

2) Do you have a giant PT Cruiser on your desk?

Both statements are true! Someone has been through my history. :)

No, I was the tech that came in at about 5:30 to check some components on all the desktops. XD

Small world.

What project is that?

I always go first thing on President's Day. Less busy than the weekends, and I'm off work. Of course, being the last day of the show, every knob in site has been pilfered by hooligans.

Most knobs (mainly shift knobs and some radio knobs) are actually removed by display attendants before the show hits public. :)

Interesting, I was not aware of that. It's kind of sad that "Remove All Knobs" has to be on their checklist.
