Aloha! More info:
We have confirmed another Hotel that will give Exotica attendees a discount on their room rates. The Carleton of Oak Park www.carletonhotel.com Just like the Write Inn, all you need to do is call the Carleton at 1-888-CARLETON and ask for either Stuart Abel or Dana Enari in group sales and let them know you will be attending "Exotica Luau by the Lake" that weekend and they will set you up. You can also try making your reservation using email by contacting Stuart or Dana at info@carletonhotel.com Our understanding is that there is a Motel portion and a Hotel portion of the Carleton and the rates vary based on the accommodations, so there will be different price points based on what you want or need in a room.
This info will be added to the Exotica website very soon, so if you want first dibs on the hotels, we'd suggest making your reservation soon.
-Duke and Amy
p.s. Danny is hard at work on the Exotica mug. As soon as we have some pictures to share, we will.

Do you mean the Motor Inn part of the Carlton? Or yet a third hotel? I just want to make sure that:
1.) I'm right on a train line - that made it SO nice last year.
2.) I get to look forward to another of Turbogod's pole dances on the train.....

The Exotica website has been updated with more info and tickets are now available for Trader Vic's on Thursday and the big Saturday show at FitzGerald's. Trader Vic's has limited capacity (about 120) so if you plan to be there, grab your tickets while you can. The Hala Kahiki and Chef Shangri-La also have limited seating capacity, but there is no ticket to purchase--just make your reservation to be sure you are on the list. Since the space at these smaller venues is limited, please only make reservations if you are certain you will be attending. We'd hate for anyone to be turned away and then for there to be empty seats at the event.
We will soon update the vendors page with information about the folks who will have cool stuff available Saturday. There are one or two more surprises still in store, so check back on the site regularly.
You can still visit the Exotica site at the address we gave before, but we now also have a new and improved url: www.chicagoexotica.com It's easy to remember, so pass it on to your friends.
Mahalo!

Duke,
Which airport is better to fly into if you're staying in Oak Park? Ohare or Midway?

Poly-Pop,
The nice thing about Oak Park is that it is almost equidistant from Midway (~10 miles) and O'Hare (~11 miles).
Hope you'll be able to make it out to Chicago!

Made my reservation with the Carleton. We'll be there. Looks like we will be arriving on Saturday in a convoy with the Haole Kats and Pablus. They are playing a show here in Knoxville on their way up on Friday.

Bought my Trader Vics ticket, bought my big luau ticket, and made my reservations at The Carleton Inn (Motor Inn)!!! I'm in town at least that Thursday thru Sunday, and probably staying on for a few more days afterwards to see the city and visit with Chicago friends who got completely bypassed at the last Exotica!
Now, which dresses to take...........
