Given that I live in Aurora, I have the opposite problem. Getting into Chicago early enough via train, then heading back home Saturday and Sunday nights via train, and then getting home.

I haven't been to a WordCamp before, but if I can figure out how to stream a video feed and can find a good spot that has an outlet nearby (my laptop's battery life is just north of 2 hours), I'll be more than happy to do so.

Brad, perhaps you can PM me here or on SitePoint about the video?

(By the way, I'll be walking from Union Station to the UBS building both days. It better not rain.)
