I am out of touch. We need to be the same place at the same time with time to visit. Enjoy Hawaii.

HMPS, it will be a pleasure to meet.

Tentative Yes, but of course it's all schedule dependent.

Sadly, a recheck of the calendar....sadly indeed, you must have got a great deal you couldn't pass up as it is glorious in most of the 48 during May.Tentative Yes, but of course it's all schedule dependent.I am in.glad you guys can make it

Put me down as interested.

Put me down as interested.interested/maybe it is

I'm going to have to be considered doubtful as Thursdays are golf league days, but weather could change that.

I will actually be in town that day, but I am stuck downtown at a trade show and won't be able to make it. Enjoy!

.... but weather could change that.it sure can, so here's hoping for a rain out??:confused::)I will actually be in town that day, but I am stuck downtown at a trade show and won't be able to make it. Enjoy!bummer

I enjoyed the $2 burger from an earlier lunch...but will be in the city and can't make it "that far" out for lunch and back.

Have a great time gents(ladies?)

good deal, a maybe it is

Make that a for sure.

..but will be in the city and can't make it "that far" out for lunch and back.understood & sorry you can't make it, that's why alternation occurs between burb & city Do's. Look for a "progressive Vietnamese dinner Do" next month, I've got 3 out of the 4 places picked out already.
Make that a for sure.very good^

I'd like to in the "interested" column. I am traveling back to ORD that day, so I will try and reschedule to come straight from the airport!

Please add me as a very strong maybe.

Sounds like fun - count me in.sounds good, PM me if you need a ride from Blue Line (ORD would work) or Metra stop (Union Pacific NW line, Cumberland stop (or Des Plaines)).

I will be in Mt Prospect and Arlington Heights all day 5/24.

If anyone needs a ride from the Metra stations (Arlington Heights, Mt Prospect, Cumberland, etc) they can PM me as well.

The ORD Blue Line is a bit out of the way for me, but the Metra is no problem at all.

If anyone needs a ride....thanks for offering rides^

Thanks to those who came out.^

Besides the lopsided service, I hope all enjoyed. My entree wasn't as high quality as I was used to at this place. Good to see everyone & talk some routing and new *A parter talk !!

That was a lot of fun. Who wouldn't have fun as the only lady at a table filled with fascinating men. Sweet Willie, thanks for hosting yet another great Chicago meal.

We returned our rental car 10 minutes before the time limit to ratchet up another day AND got a $25 discount because speed control didn't work.

That worked well and thanks for the luggage tags. I trust you and + 1 will enjoy your little trip.
It was nice to see all the folks since it's been a while for me. I had a lot of fun.

and all that attended. This is one of my lunch spots as I work close by.
Sorry that I had to bolt out early, but had to go back to work as I'm off Friday and needed to make sure everything was wrapped up on time.

SanDiego1k, it was a pleasure meeting you.

It was a pleasure meeting everyone! Thanks for organizing, Sweet Willie.

Thanks Sweet Willie. Good to meet some new people and to see some old friends.

Very nice making new friends and seeing old ones: special thanks to Sweet Willie for organizing and the ride to and Plainsman for the ride back. SanDiego1k, thank you for the luggage tag - very thoughtful to bring them.
