The 2003 Chicago do.... are you in or out?
After last years "mega" FT do, with over 90 people attending I think it's only logical we start thinking about a 2003 version.
Over beer and pizza last night some of the regulars thought between mid august, beginning of september might be a good idea, not too hot, not too cold...
Before we start thinking of venues, let's think dates
Weekend of the august 23/24 or september 6/7 are the first that come to mind...
For those that missed last years do, here are the pictures:

Thread title asks "in or out?"
Chicago FT reputation suggests "in AND out!"

There is a homestand the weekend before, however (August 15-16-17), against a non-high-profile opponent (the Dodgers).
That's about the time of year tickets become easy to get, too, because a lot of people skip town for vacation, and by then the Cubbies should be about 35 games back.

One problem. The Cubs are not in town on either of those weekends.

Vote for an August date when either Cubs or Sox are in town.
