Show Take-Down, and Chicago

SHOW TAKEDOWN IS THIS FRIDAY (APRIL 10th) - I believe the time is 10am. I will edit/update if I am incorrect. PLEASE be there or get ahold of someone to pick yours up if you are unable to make it.

Other information:

Last email I sent out:
Good afternoon!
It sounds like we have a good confirmation on plans for the Chicago trip. PLEASE RESPOND TO THIS EMAIL SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT WHO IS GOING!

We are planning the trip for SUNDAY APRIL 26TH

1. We want to take the METRA train from WAUKEGAN (changed from Kenosha because the times it departs and arrives are not doable for our schedule), which is only $5 roundtrip on weekends, so that would be more cost effective than the Amtrack from milwaukee

We need to figure out:
Who will be going
Who would be able to DRIVE to Waukegan (and how many fit in your car)

2. Museum of Contemporary Art: http://www.mcachicago.org/
Open 10am to 5pm
Admission is $7 WITH STUDENT ID. (dont forget yours.)
There are free group tours. They start at specific times, and there are a few different types. We can all discuss this at the next meeting. Please take a look at the museum website to see if there is anything interesting to you. If someone would like to contact them and ask about specific group tours, that would be wonderful. Perhaps let them know we are a photography group and would be interested in a more detailed talk about photo work they have there:
"School, corporate, or other groups wanting a tour at the MCA should call 312.397.3898"


3. Museum of Contemporary Photography: http://mocp.org/
Free admission
Open noon to 5pm
If someone would like to contact them and inquire about group tours or anything of the sort, that would be awesome:

4. Other random notes: some of us would like to stay down there and get dinner. Depending on how many we have, we would probably want to call ahead and make reservations/warn the restaurant a large group will be coming in. Depending on how many people want to go, if anyone is unable to stay later for dinner, we could go in groups. Say we have four cars of people, and one car had to return early, we will figure that out when the time comes around.
Train: $5, MOCA: $7 - that is only $12 for general everythingness. So factor in food, and if you feel like being nice and chipping in a little for your driver.
I think leaving milwaukee around 9am would be ideal if we want to really get a lot out of the day.
