This takes place when??? I don't think I will be able to make it because I'm doing a turn around trip...I'm leaving my 8 year old twin daughters home so I'm flying out and turning around and coming back home...It'll be a 24 hour trip for me. Leave SAN late evening 10/31, arrive ORD 5 am, leave ORD 9 pm arrive SAN 10 pm. Otherwise, I'd love to do a basket :(
