Thank you all for your patience during this process. We have mailed out most of the videos with a very few remaining (and these are going out on Sat). Feel free to email me if you have not received your DVD yet. Happy Holidays!

I'm sure many of you are fairly frustrated over not receiving your videos yet. Unfortunately, I can feel your frustration. I'm in continuous contact with Eve and both of us are doing are best to get these out. We were put into this unfortunate situation and in hindsight, I wish we just opted to not do the videos at all. Yes, I've been told the quality of this video production is better than anything you've ever seen, but is it worth the wait? I'm not sure yet. But I will continue to keep everyone posted once these are mailed out... fingers crossed that it will be shortly.

Thanks again for your continued support of Windy City. We have just signed the contracts over the weekend and expect that there will be an online link to register for both the July and October event shortly. This was a year where all of the changes we made worked out perfectly. Once we had gotten the event underway, everything was well run with the hotel and the personnel were very responsive.

I did want to make mention of the videos from the event. Usually, this is something I have to concern myself little about because we have a videographer who typically handles this for us. But this year, at 4pm on Thursday right before the event, I received a phone call letting me know that CJ's computer, which is acts as a custom editing machine and very expensive, has broken down and he was not going to be able to furnish videos this year. 4pm on Thursday gave us little time to scramble, but we did come to a compromise where Eve’s partner opted to handle the large task of doing this editing. Note, she has a full time job that occupies many more hours than the average worker and it has taken a lot of time to put this together. We regret that this is taking longer than usual, but we do hope that you are satisfied with the end product once it comes out. Thank you all for your patience as we work through this. We are currently at a point where the editing has been completed and Eve now has to watch the video to make sure all will be satisfactory to everyone. We expect to start sending the videos out within two weeks. If there are further delays, I will keep you all posted.

Other than that, I sincerely hope that we have your support for 2012 as we plan to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. A sincere thanks to all of the staff for 2011 and a big thanks to those who volunteered at the last minute to take on the additional slots after our last minute cancellations.
