In terms of where to go in Chicago, the best guide I've seen is Coppperbadge's, which you can find at https://copperbadge.livejournal.com/3334144.html. I do have some contacts there, but none of them are particularly fannish ones so I don't think they'd be of help.
Not as much help for LA- I don't have much insight or contacts there.
As for willingness, I'd normally be willing for both, but I have a work conflict the date of ConFabCon and (depending on how job-hunting goes) may not be able to afford to get out to Los Angeles for Escapade 2019, so I'm afraid I can't help out much on this end either ><"
