Yes, Martin Mueller and I have been discussing this offline.  The 
Orrington and Evanston, while more charming than the Marriott and the 
area near O'Hare, won't really save us money in the end, even though 
Martin has access to meeting facilities at Northwestern University.

So, we'll still plan on the Big Ten Center and the Marriot.
