I'll try to be there, man! It would be a shame to miss a CanJam right in my own back yard. Well, sort of. I grew up 100 miles from Chicago in downstate Illinois.
Anyway... this one should be an absolute blast!

Man, I still need a job to fund this and my new found obsession with headphones. Every company that said they would hire me when I graduated, can't now after the recession because of budget cuts and hiring freezes.

It will be great to have you! However, you do realize that argubaly the 2 biggest and most awesome headphone audio dealers are in your neck of the wood, right?

I was referring to Geek's post, his location is listed in Bozeman, MT, with Headroom and TTVJ being in the area (who I am sure will also be at Canjam 2010 as well)

As of now, my girlfriend and I will be there (sans my gear, except the HD800). Any ideas/estimates of what the airfare rates from Los Angeles International or Burbank airport to O'Hare would run for 2 if we book the flight about 3 months in advance? (If you can't tell, I don't take planes/travel often.)

Well three months in advance puts you booking in late February or early March. Unfortunately, I know of no one who can accurately predict airfare costs 5 months in advance. However, if you want to get an idea of air fares if you booked today you can try Travelocity. Los Angeles is LAX, Burbank is BUR and O'Hare is ORD.
