Where the heck do you sign-up to attend the conference? I can't find anything on the front page. It's a little difficult to find it between all the sponsor links - Tom Allison''

http://conferences.mongueurs.net/yn2008/travel.html page needs to say, "Also, tip your cabbie. You are in Chicago now." I'm serious. - Gene Boggs''

Updated with a recommended tip amount.

As far as arriving by air, I'm guessing flying in Sunday would be recommended as far as avoiding rush hour. What would be a good time to have a flight leave on Thurs. (assuming there's a party after the closing cermonies on Wed.) in order to not have to deal with the trains in rush hour, with luggage (I'm planning on staying at dorms, for convenience sake - also, do they have towels and pillows when it says "linens")? - Dan Ellenbaum

Linens do include towels and pillows.

Sunday is indeed a good day to arrive, though you might want to come in early afternoon Sunday because we typically get together for a pre-yapc dinner and there are also hack-a-thons going on before yapc.

As far as when to leave on Thursday, the main rush is from 7am-9am and then from 4pm-6pm on the trains; however, tourists are starting to come it, so it is pretty busy all day. If you really want to punish yourself, the L is typically empty around 4am (I like early flights).

Can we use the swimming pool? -- Liz Cortell

Yes, people staying in the dorms can use the gym and swimming pool.

How do we check into the dorm rooms?

How do we pick up our meal tickets?

I cannot find any reference to linens on the dorm room page. Do we have to bring twin long sheets?

Can we refill/recharge the meal tickets?

Can we cash out the meal tickets at the end of the conference?

Is there any laundry machine in the dorm?
