[Coco] Fest Plans in Doubt

[Frank Pittel]

Boisy,

The fest won't be the same without you. I hope you find a way to get
here. One thing you may consider looking into is flying into Midway.
Not as close to the fest site but they handle carriers that don't fly
into O'Hare.

Looking forward to seeing you at the fest on friday!!

Frank
