For our Thursday Outing this year, on October 19th, we will be going to The Catcade
 
The Catcade is a non-profit, arcade-themed cat rescue, lounge, and cat café in Chicago. Visits last one hour, and appointments are required. We will not have enough people to book a private hour, up to six people in a group able to secure a one-hour time slot for $17 each. All attendees would be required to make their own separate reservations. We are making reservations for noon (12 p.m.) on Thursday, October 19. Sign-ups are first come, first serve.

Two spots are currently available! All spots for 12pm are taken, but if you are still interested, please reach out. We can set up a second group for 1pm if there is enough interest.
 
Reservations are non-refundable and all guests will need to sign a waiver from the Catcade. Please do NOT make a reservation on your own without letting us know you are coming on the outing. Email programming@confabcon.com, with "Catcade" in the subject line if you wish to take one of these two open slots.
 
We will leave the hotel at about 10 a.m. Thursday, October 19 in order to get there at noon. Anyone wishing to go into Chicago, but not go to the Catcade, is welcome to join us in traveling, and can also join us for lunch after the Catcade. Lunch will be at a location, to be determined, that is accessible via the Blue Line.

Any questions, leave a comment on this post or email us at the address above! Let's pet some cats and play some arcade games together. :D

Come explore downtown Chicago with your fellow con attendees! For our annual Thursday outing, we will be taking the Blue Line train to the Monroe Street station in the morning and taking in the sights. We will also get lunch at some point.

We plan to depart the hotel about 10 a.m. and return about 3:30 p.m., so you should have plenty of time to relax before the Meet and Greet starts. Travel time on the train is about 1 hour each way. We will meet in the hotel lobby at 9:45 a.m. and take the hotel shuttle to the train station.

You’re free to stick with the group or go off on your own, as this is a free-form outing. Is there a museum you’re dying to go to, or a tour you’d like to take? Thursday is a great time to do that without missing any of the panels or con events!

Cost for the train will be about $5 for a round trip. To save some money, you can purchase a Ventra card which allows you to register the card and get your $5 back. It can also be used by multiple people. This is a good option if you will not be taking many trips on the train over your visit. You can read more here: https://www.transitchicago.com/

There are several places to visit near the stop we will be getting off at, including Millenium Park (take a picture with the Bean!), the Art Institute of Chicago and more. Some possibilities are here: https://www.thecrazytourist.com/top-25-things-to-do-in-chicago-il/

More concrete plans for exploring Chicago and where to eat will be made day-of, or leave ideas here on this post!
