[Air-l] AoIR 6.0 Chicago 2005 Registration is now open

[elijah wright]

Chicago has some of the most excellent public transportation anywhere in 
the US.  It should not be difficult to find less central (and a bit 
cheaper) accomodations and ride public transport in for the conference. 
Just to reassure you :)

$155 does initially sound expensive but remember that this is fairly 
centrally located inside a major city...  there's a bit of a premium 
involved for that.
