FAQ

Q: “But I don’t know anyone!”
A:  Not to worry, since we all have the same interests it will be easy to make friends! What better to start chatting about than food, health and fitness? This is a great place to meet new friends!

Q: “Do I have to be a blogger?”

A: No! Many attendees do not have their own blogs. We can’t guarantee you won’t be inspired to start one afterwards though! ;)

Q: “Are there going to be roommates if we want to reduce our hotel costs?”
A: We know that many people in the blog world consider themselves “blog friends.”  If you want to organize a roommate situation, feel free to use the Healthy Living Summit Facebook page ( http://www.facebook.com/healthylivingsummit ) as a resource

I’m looking for a roommate — I don’t snore =)

Don’t want to rain on your summit, but you might want to check a little closer into your hotel. The Congress has been picketed by workers since 2003 for providing wages approximately 40 percent below industry norms in Chicago. During the Presidential campaigns, even Barack Obama and John Edwards walked the picket lines, siding with former workers at the hotel.

I’m sure the hotel is nice (I personally haven’t stayed there but have heard varying opinions from good to bad) but be prepared to see/cross a picket line when you arrive.

Hey! I’m looking for a roommate too! I don’t mind cramming more than two people in a room so the price of the room is cheaper – I’ll even sleep on the floor! I’m 24 and will be taking the bus in from Toronto. I workout first thing in the morning and take short showers ;) E-mail is thegreatbalancingact@gmail.com.

suki May 20, 2010 at 12:07 pm

Hello hello!

I just signed up for the summit. I’m in my 20s, from California, and if I don’t visit a friend in Milwaukee earlier in the summer, it’ll be my first time OUTSIDE of the O’Hare airport and hopefully exploring Chicago’s nightlife.

I don’t snore. I don’t take up a lot of bathroom time.

:) I’ve emailed a few people from this thread of comments, so hopefully I hear back! If not, I’ll keep on checking here.

I’m at: slightlydelightful at gmail!
