Can we get some sense from PyCon organizers / past attendees as to what an 
acceptable commute b/w hotel & venue might be?  If we're not going to have 
the talks *in* a hotel (as discussions seem to be going), folks are going to 
have to get *from* the hotel *to* the talks.

I wouldn't consider the Red Line trip from the hotels at Grand to 
Loyola 'major'.  There a tradeoff here b/w convenience to talks & the rest of 
the city.  In the limit, we could just have the talks at the hotel, but in 
that case, any old Mariott anywhere in the country near an airport would do - 
we can do better than that.
