BaldRob:
I've had a question about what airports are available, so here is the info:

O'Hare (approximately 30 miles) - Big, busy airport.  Traffic heading north from here on Friday afternoon/evening can be brutal.

Hub for the following airlines - United and American
Other Airlines - Continental, Northwest, Frontier, Delta, American Eagle, America West, US Air, Spirit, Jet Blue, United Express

Milwaukee (approximately 45 miles) - Smaller airport, easy in/out, traffic can be bad on Friday afternoons but only for a relatively short distance.  Tickets are typically more expensive, but deals can be found.

Hub for the following airlines - Midwest
Other airlines - United, Northwest, AirTran, Delta, American Eagle, Continental Express

Midway (approximately 60 miles) - Smaller airport, but in a bad section of the city.  Traffic can/will be horrendous on Friday afternoons.

Hub for the following airlines - Southwest
Other airlines - ATA, Frontier, Northwest, Air Tran, Delta, Comair, TED, American, Continental

For those of you that will rent a vehicle, make sure you have plenty of change available - no matter which airport you fly into, there are toll roads to get to the area.

Bad section of the city?!?

My keyboardist lives about three or four blocks west of the airport.  It seems nice enough for me.  I'm not picky though.

Yeah... The area around Midway pretty much sucks... unless it's been cleaned up dramatically in the last year.
