I'll think I should be in for this one. And hopefully I'll have had enough time to detox from BooDo by then... :o Anyone up for Hackney's beforehand?

Drove by Meier's tonight and can verify that the parking lot has indeed been paved!

Actually, Meier's burgers are almost as good as Hackney's. But they don't have the onion loaf. :(

It's just not right without the onion loaf... :p

Don't let your onion loaf...

True enough - and yes, I'd be up for Hackney's in advance.

If you don't want to drive all the way into the city that day, I can drop you off at Rosemont Park and Ride or Edison Park Metra.

So who's exactly coming? Looks like just the suburbanites:

Sweet Willie
bseller
ElmhurstNick
cawhite60156
blort (if we can get him to skip class)
iluv2fly (tentative)

Except for Marty, the city dwellers seem to be afraid of going north of Touhy. :p

Say Hackney's on Harms at about 6:30 depending on traffic, and Meiers' at 8ish??

blort will drive to class that evening and haul arse to get to Meier's as soon as possible afterward. Hopefully I can be there around 9:30pm.

Of course, if someone would like to volunteer to take notes in Risk Management for me that evening, I might consider joining the group at its regularly scheduled time :p

Also, I'd be happy to give any city dwellers a lift back to the Metra station if they would like to catch a ride up north with somebody after work. Trains run every hour back into the city that time of night and it's about a 25 minute ride from Evanston to Madison/Canal.

Thanks & appreciate the offer, but I'll most likely set up some meetings in the NW 'burbs that afternoon since I'll have to run home and either let the dog out or take him to doggy camp 12 hours early

I'm sure that bseller will help me purchase a few beverages to help soothe your pain... :o

If y'all can't play nicely.... ;)

<eight year old voice>But mom, he started it!!!</eight year old voice>

And I can play very nicely, thank you very much. :)


So now who's going to drop out at the last minute for this event?? The city dwellers are still afraid of the suburbs.

<ponders raising hand...>

:confused: :(

The participants thread has been updated to include iluv2fly's potential participation.

I think the plan is for me to be leaving Madison/Wacker at 5:30pm, so Marty can ride shotgun. Or sidesaddle, his choice. There is still room for three more in the back.
