I’ve never had the opportunity to attend one of these, but they seem to be the only way to try audio gear that I’ll probably never afford. How packed do these CanJams usually get? Is there a huge wait to get listening time with equipment?

They are packed and lively, but not crowded

You’ll be able to easily listen to anything you want. At most, you wait a couple of minutes and take your turn. Everyone is polite and accommodating. You’ll demo more than you’d be able to absorb

Okay, as a guy from Detroit, I have to ask: If I had to pick one pizza place to try while I'm in town, what do you recommend I pick?

And for the record, I do plan on returning to Kuma's Corner for a burger, because damn. The Neurosis burger was insane when I was in town in October....

We went to Pequod's last time we visited. It was very good, but super heavy. I guess that's deep dish style though? (not an expert)

Yeah, any good food recommendations in general would be appreciated for us out-of-town visitors.

3 weeks to go!!

Try Connie’s Pizza if possible, Chicago Style Deep Dish is delicious.

Pequod's is certainly on the short list of Chicago pizza.

If you have the wallet after CanJam does it’s part, try here. Not pizza. Not ordinary either.

I always vote for Pequod's. If you want one of the big guys, then either Lou Malnati's or Giordano's.

Pequod's is only something like a 15-20 minute drive from the hotel. It's not far at all for my personal favorite.

Nothing beats Jets Pizza. Chicago pizza chains don't even compare ....

Yeah, I don't like Jet's. I've had too many bad pizzas from them, unfortunately.

 

[chesebert]

Damn I must be so jaded at this point because I heard that same system and it was a "meh" experience.

how about the original Cottage Inn?

Cottage inn is okay. I stick to a couple of local places for the most part when we do get pizza in our house. Occasionally we do Buddy's, which is fantastic.

I kind of agree. It's good, but I personally prefer my Mjolnir Carbon. That said, the Eksonic T2 totally blew my mind. I definitey plan to revisit it in Chicago if @Kerry brings it again (fingers crossed)

Some non-deep dish pizzas to try while you're in Chicago: Bonci (Roman). Piece (New Haven), Boiler Room (NY). But yeah, Pequod's is my favorite Chicago deep dish.
