Chicago 3/14 anyone?
 
As part of a multi-mission trip, it'd be great meet up with some FTers for post-banking hours eats/nibbles. Anyone around? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif I'll be staying somewhere on N./S. Mich Ave ... likely one of the Hiltons, but am not adverse to meeting somewhere within reasonable cabbing distance.

if I'm in town (as it looks like I am), I'm in.

You see, Marty (iluv2fly) is never around on friday nights because he goes away every weekend. He says he goes to LAS, but I think he may just be hiding away in his apt. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif

My arm might be twisted into attending. I put it on my calendar.

ElmhurstNick Feb 11, 2003 10:07 am

I know I'm not travelling that week, so I should be around.

Spiff Feb 11, 2003 10:53 am

I will be in ORD on the 14th from approx 3-5pm, connecting onto LHR.

Anyone up for a visit to the FL or AC or CRC?

asquare Feb 11, 2003 11:41 am

Oddly enough, I also will be in Chicago that weekend, but don't know my schedule yet. Staying on N. Michigan. Keep me posted if you pick a time and I'll try to make it.

Kids these days!!

There is a tendancy to have these meetings on a Friday night when I'm just about arriving at ORD for destinations unknown. Why can't we have these things during the week? I'm beginning to wonder...

Moi? Hide? Never!! Since these usually happen at night, the sun can't turn me into dust.


essxjay Feb 11, 2003 12:57 pm

Tell ya what ... I'll leave the meeting point up to you Chicagoites as I really haven't a clue where a good place to meet might be. My only request is that there be something yummy to nibble on within my (student) budget. I pretty much eat anything ...

Spiff, I'll keep you posted on my flight info once it's nailed down. Would love to catch up with you at ORD sometime after 3 p.m. I would be getting in around 3:15 or so ...

The other alternative -- meet up with iluv2fly in his favored destination of the week -- has been done too. More than once. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I'll be in there about the same time to LHR on AA 86. Or at least I should be.

Shoot! I'm gonna miss you by about 30 minutes. My flight to PHX is scheduled to depart at 2:45pm. Would have liked to have some interesting TSA discussions http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif...

Hello all,

I'll be in ORD to catch the 5pm Heathrow flight on BA. It'd be great to meet up with a few of you (for my first ever FT get-together). I've been around two years; its about time http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif.

makin'miles Feb 23, 2003 4:29 pm

Well it looks like there may be at least four (or more) of us at ORD on a Friday afternoon sometime in the near future...

If anyone's up for meeting for a drink, snack, light meal, or 24oz steak dinner, that would be great.

It looks like Spiff, Disgruntled Goat, Essxjay, and myself should all be around. I would guess that meeting somewhere in T3 before security might be the easiest. To tell you the truth, though, I have never connected anywhere in ORD except T1, so what do you all think?

Spiff Feb 23, 2003 5:42 pm

I am connecting in ORD, so I need to meet after the checkpoint. Once thru "security" is enough for me! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

On a similar note, will anyone be around on the 7th for a quick drink?

Spiff Feb 24, 2003 10:21 am

I will be around on the 7th as well. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Spiff, I would be very interested in having a drink with you. I always read your posts with great interest! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Spiff Feb 24, 2003 12:29 pm

Cool! I will be there between ~3-5 pm on the 7th. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

I could swing that. Anyone else??

I'm assuming you are in transit? How does the AC sound?

Spiff Feb 24, 2003 1:28 pm

The AC sounds good but the FL sounds even better... http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I am booked on the 7:45pm flight to DEN, but standing by for 4:45pm flight.

I'm hoping to clear a wailist for SIN on Friday, March 14,,,,,,but if I fail http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif I'd be happy to meet wherever the "crowd" decides....

Keep us updated if anyone has made or is going to make detailed plans,,,,,

Best wishes.

DisgruntledGoat Mar 7, 2003 11:17 am

I'll probably be in the AC at 4ish.

ORDguy Mar 7, 2003 11:56 am

Count me in. If there is a dinner planned I don't think I would be able to make it, but definitely for drinks later in the evening.

AnnaS Mar 7, 2003 1:27 pm

As I figured, I can't do the 14th as I've got family stuff to do. Hopefully will get to see you another day of your trip, essxjay. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

essxjay Mar 8, 2003 1:09 pm

Looks like we've got a couple of meet-up ops going here: one at ORD ~3-5 p.m., and then later at a location/time TBD.

I'm booked at the Palmer House, and am amenable to any suggestions on when and where to meet up. Pizza and beer is fine, as is a bar with something decent to nibble on or ??? Does 6:30 p.m. work as a meeting time?

6:30 may be a bit early for you...depending on the ORD crowd!

Nah. Most of 'em are wheels up around 5 so I'll be southbound on the Blue Line by 4:30 I imagine.

ElmhurstNick Mar 9, 2003 2:00 pm

6:30pm downtown would be fine.
