Hometown attendee posting here. Just some FYIs: Weather looks to be a little less dire than it’s been lately - why does THIS particular winter have to be such an outlier? For those of you with cars, there is underground parking beneath CCM - not the cheapest option, but beats Chicago by several miles. Elevators give direct access to CCM. Plenty of the usual college town eateries would be quicker to walk to (5 - 10 minutes) than driving a car around the one-way streets, but be prepared for steps and hills. The UC campus is very compact, and hilly. The main on-campus food court is very close to CCM (5 minutes) and can be accessed via elevators (slow ones) or several sets of steps and a short open-air bridge or an outdoor walk beside the stadium. I don’t know where they plan to herd the parents - anyone else with experience they can relate?? - but I am not aware of any comfy “lounges” in the building. On-campus Starbucks is in the CCM building, but I believe they don’t open until 10:00 on Saturdays - not sure what the thinking was on that decision.

Break a leg and merde to all who are attending. My S will be in the mix for this one.
