Fine by me, although I'm flying out early Saturday morning so I can't stay out too late.

sounds good.

Where and when for drinks?

My Chicago Film Festival movie that I'm seeing at 4:30pm should let out by 6:30pm.

I'm supposed to be in the Chicago area for a meeting on Friday. I'll see if I can't rearrange my flights so I can join the festivities. Wouldn't want to miss out on an opportunity to meet the infamous kokonutz.

If that awful thing called "work" can be arranged 'around'....this sounds like a great idea!
I'll keep an eye out on the thread...
Best wishes.

bseller: All work and no play....IOU812: Just because you run away doesnt mean you escape. FWIW, The Drake wanted $450 for a diamond guaranted reservation, and as I only plan to be at the hotel briefly to sleep, I booked the Palmer for less then half that. Too bad since I always find the cigar bar at the Drake the perfect way to begin and end an evening in Chicago....

Okay, my Friday is open other than a dentist appt in the afternoon...if I have a crooked smile because one side of my mouth is still numb I trust that none of you will make fun of me

Anyone want to set a time/place to meet?

Hey, I'll jump on a plane for this. Well I was going to fly to ORD on the 11th anyway. How about the Lodge at 11 W. Division at midnight?

Or the floor of the Hyatt lobby at 5am?
