We are starting to see many of the same questions about the fourth annual James Bond Collectors’ Weekend, July 20-22 in Chicago, Illinois. Here’s a brief FAQ:
Q. What about memorabilia dealers at the sale?
A. We will again have a room packed with memorabilia for you to take home! Spaces are still available for dealers wishing to purchase a 10’ x 10’ spot or more. Please contact us soon.
Q. What celebrities plan to attend this event? All five Bonds or just Sean Connery? 😉
A. Eight-time James Bond author Raymond Benson has graciously consented to join the fans for a chat at our special luncheon atop Chicago’s Hancock Building on Sunday. We’ve also done something a bit different this year and arranged a different type of star for you to meet-the onscreen used vehicles of 007. Our private vehicles tour will be awesome, and the last chance to see these vehicles before they depart for England.
Q. Tell me about this year’s hotel location, is it as exciting as the BCW events in Las Vegas or New Orleans?
A. The Seneca will be $159 nightly, a rate you can extend if arriving early or leaving late. This year’s hotel is in the heart of Magnificent Mile and close to The Loop and Lake Michigan. Similar rooms are over $200 a night nearby. You are NOT obligated to pay for a room at The Seneca to participate. For your specially priced room reservation at The Seneca, simply call toll free at (USA) 800.800.6261 or call 312.787.8900 and say, “Bond Weekend group reservations, please.”

A place will then be reserved for you for group transportation and sightseeing in Chicago, all meal sittings, etc.
Q. Work obligations make it hard for me to travel to Chicago. When should I plan to arrive?
A. We have scheduled the biggest events to start later on Friday and end earlier on Sunday (we put most of the best action on Saturday) to accommodate long-distance travelers. If you are in early on Thursday or stay late until Monday, however, fans are around to spend time in the city and talk shop.

A. Your fellow conventioneers include some behind-the-scenes folk associated with the Bond franchise, screenplay writers, Bond fanzine and webzine editors, fan insiders, super-collectors with hundreds of thousands of dollars in memorabilia, etc., basically, friends looking to see each other again and talk shop. Part of the fun is in our welcoming newer fans to join us also. We would be pleased to have YOU join us even if you are not a “Bond expert.”
Q. Is this event suitable for younger fans?
A. Young fans may visit the event with parents in attendance. We have also provided in the past chaperones for young fans to attend each day’s events without their family. If you are a minor planning to attend this year, we recommend you print this email to share with your family so they know about your interest. We would be happy to provide references for them.
Q. About how much will everything cost me? What do I need to bring?
A. Plan now on a costumed-theme event including party games. (Shy fans need not wear a costume but we will award prizes this year for best and most creative, etc.) We’re picking up some super meals so a few dollars cash for memorabilia purchases, and a bag of goodies to share or a Bond photo/collectibles album to show off would be great. Dress is casual, so shorts plus a pair of slacks for evening wear or inside air-condition rooms would be a good idea. For right now, 1) Get your hotel room and pay to register soon. 2) Write the hosts with your approximate travel itinerary if you would like our travel agent to suggest some inexpensive flights or rail.
