Chicago Botanic Garden Seed Swap?

I'm just wondering if anyone attended the Chicago Botanic Garden Seed Swap event last year. I know that this is the second year for the event and I wasn't there last year so I was hoping that maybe some folks here attended last year and could give me the low down. If you were there last year (or if you weren't), are you planning to attend this year (it's Feb. 24th)? If there is a better forum in which to post this, my apologies, please direct me there.

Thanks!
