Coming in from Boston to Chicago for the festivities of NATO protests

More after meeting tonight, but as it stands, 3 of my compatriots in Veterans For Peace and I will be in Chicago fo the Summit.

I'm not sure whether we'll be driving of taking bus offered by Chicago Occupy, but big question is, can anyone from the area let me know about lodging in the general vicinity. I know this is late and things are tight lodging wise, but even a little distance from the protest site would help. Cash, as always is a situation, but we should be able to do a mid-range hotel. We can fit four into a room. 2 males, 2 females can share anything. I'm not having much luck with the net, but I figure that people inn the area can be of help with their knowledge of the area.

Any help would be welcome. I'll have more info on our transportation after the VFP meeting tonight. Car cuts off hours and is far more comfortable than a bus, so hopefully that will be the mode of transportation.

Hope to see you all on the street during this protest. BTW, We'll have Veterans For Peace Flags if anyone decides to find and meet up with us. My "real" name is Bob, most people in VFP don't know me as Ras.

Solidarity,

Ras
