I'll be at DePaul in Chicago on D-Day, if anyone has any questions about the city or the location. Take the Red Line to Fullerton and head west out of the station. DePaul is a few blocks away. The building where the test is is on a small north/south side street.
This year work and school has kept me too busy for real preparation. Next year I will be really trying to pass it, and since most of the traffic here is JLPT related, I have a few ideas for next year. But right now is what matters, so study your ass off! It's hard, but if you used a good study guide and practiced your reading, you will pass.
