Hello, hello! Only took us 3 months to do an update, not bad. With just under 2 months to go, we are thankfully left with only small things to do to prepare for 9/19/09.
Today, Sarah and I are going to go and taste the food we'll all be enjoying on the 19th. The restaurant is Quartino, located to very close to the hotel and pretty close to the ceremony location. For those of you that are driving in on Saturday (and then leaving that night), Quartino has valet parking, and it will be free (99% sure of this, will be 100% sure after we visit today) that night. So, do not park in one of the public lots...you're parking for free in downtown Chicago this night (99% sure).
About the hotel, we have a block of rooms (the "Dimenn Allison Wedding Block") at the Four Points Sheraton. If you happen to call, and they say "the block is full", please email me (jon.allison@gmail.com). This is an easy fix, as I just need to call our coordinator at the hotel, and she'll increase the available rooms. And again, when you request a room with our block, you should be quoted a price of $149 per night for Friday 9/18 and/or Saturday 9/19. If you don't get this price, please email me.
If anyone has a question, please don't hesitate to email me. I like emails. I just got one the other day saying there are millions in gold available to me in Nigeria. Come wedding day, I could be a millionaire.
Talk to you and see you soon! - Jon
