spectre · 07-27-2003, 07:44 PM

I'm the one making the reservations, so you better believe that I'll be there.

rogue49 · 07-27-2003, 07:48 PM

hopefully, you'll have my ugly mug there.

troit · 07-28-2003, 05:55 AM

I forgot the date.... Will someone post that for me? Thanks.

You won't be working in the evening will you? When the times are set I'm sure there will be some time for you to stop by if you want, so don't sweat it

aedenji · 07-28-2003, 06:12 PM

I would love to go but I live in Washington, Keep us posted for the next one. A bunch of people from another board did this a while ago and made a whole weekend of it and what do you know it was in Chicago. It was my first time there. MAn that city is F**kin cool!!

spectre · 07-29-2003, 09:04 PM

C'mon people, gotta let us know if you're gonna be there. I'm making the reservation tomorrow.

Memnoch · 07-30-2003, 07:28 AM

I'll be there.

mtsgsd · 07-30-2003, 07:29 AM

We honestly don't know yet if we'll be able to attend, but we'd like to. It would help alot if we know where the hell it was going to be! Since we live in WI. the location alone could rule us out.

SecretMethod70 · 07-30-2003, 07:48 AM

Here's what we can tell you - Northwest suburbs of Chicago.

We're looking in Niles at the moment, but don't want to post a definitive location until all deals are made.

Niles should be enough information though to make a decision. (it's north of Chicago if you didn't know)

just wondering the reasoning behind this.

its like its a secret rendevous point or something.

It's so secret because it literally changed completely between this morning and just now

But it's set now so I'm about to update the main post.

GakFace · 07-30-2003, 06:00 PM

... Sadly I won't be able to make it. Life has been busy lately, and around that time I'll be busy finding a job while I go to school (which I'll also have to start preparing for).

I'm in Fort Wayne, so if people ever want to meet around here

Sorry tho, Maybe next time

He's right about that. We had a location in mind, and I stopped off there this morning. Got a big thumbs down, and Secret found a much better place. He posted this immediately after our conversation about it.

Double D · 07-30-2003, 10:55 PM

The place sounds nice.
I'm still a definite yes.

mtsgsd · 07-31-2003, 04:54 AM

LOL, my old neighborhood! Crawdaddy Bayou is gone?

Shit, I guess I should stop sending people there.

I'll talk to the SO.

Giant Hamburger · 07-31-2003, 06:59 PM

Hail Citizens I would like to meet!

I will not be meeting you.
You will be 1185.83 miles away from old Giant Hamburger.
I am not THAT giant. I could drive my old diesel Mercedes but it would take me over 20 hours and I have baby hamburgers to care for. Perhaps I will call the place at the appointed date and time and buy a round... of burgers.

I expect images.

qpid · 07-31-2003, 09:55 PM

I'll let you guys know as soon as SexyCat wakes up, but it very very probable

mtsgsd · 08-01-2003, 10:52 AM

Ok, we are officially IN!

LittleOralAnnie · 08-02-2003, 04:29 AM

I wish I could give a definite yes but at this very moment I know I'll be out of town for a few days. I should make it back in time to go. I'll do my best to give a definite answer soon

SecretMethod70 · 08-02-2003, 11:39 AM

well, worse comes to worse, you can just show up

Double D · 08-03-2003, 02:43 PM

SecretMethod70 · 08-09-2003, 04:13 PM

MANDATE: No one may leave before 9:45 unless absolutely necessary!

I, unfortunately, will not be able to make it until 9:15-9:30.

LittleOralAnnie · 08-10-2003, 09:10 AM

As fate would have it, I am unfortunately not able to attend this time. I will be out of town on a all expense paid business trip. It has perks but I was looking forward to meeting some new faces. Hope there will be another scheduled rendezvous soon

Double D · 08-13-2003, 09:42 AM

Is there a dress code at *Pete's,* like *no jeans* or whatever?
(Yes, I'm stressing about what to wear!)

SecretMethod70 · 08-13-2003, 10:33 PM

As far as I'm aware, there is no dress code so don't fret it

Double D · 08-13-2003, 11:24 PM

Thanks SM70. Looking forward to it--don't be too late, ok?

SecretMethod70 · 08-14-2003, 01:20 AM

I'll certainly do my best! I think I'll be leaving the city early enough where outbound traffic shouldn't be too bad

rogue49 · 08-15-2003, 04:37 AM

See you there, all

Why Rogue, I think you might just get the travelled-the-farthest to-get-here award! We'll have to think of a special prize for you

Looking forward to meeting you

beetle bailey · 08-16-2003, 02:00 AM

i think this is an EXCELLENT idea, and, even though where i live is only 350 miles away, i would be there in an instant...BUT this shop where i'm working (and have been seeing the owner for three years) is having a big to-do this weekend, and sadly i must be here. but my thoughts are with you folks in chicago. thanks for doing this, people. this place is GREAT!!

mtsgsd · 08-16-2003, 07:54 AM

Well I'm sorry to say that plans have changed and we won't be there. One of our German Shepherds took seriously ill suddenly and we had to put her down. We don't feel much like partying right now. Hope to be there next time.
