Just got the code for free attendance at my next event since I'm teaching a class there. Unless something else comes up super last minute before then my next event is in Portland, OR this April. I'm considering taking the train since Amtrak runs a Chicago to Portland route and I've never done such a long trip by rail.
@neal I've done that trip a few times! Let me know if you have questions. I'd highly recommend it, especially if you can either bring a friend to sleep next to you in coach or afford the small room! (I have trouble sleeping super close to a stranger but maybe you don't?)
