Chicago dinner 05JAN or lunch 06JAN
I'll be in Chicago for one night. Anyone up for dinner on 05JAN? Alternatively, lunch on the 6th (tradition for me dictates the Walnut Room at Marshall Field's) or afternoon cocktails at O'Hare would work for me.

Darn, you're just going to miss dinner on the 6th. I'm going to be out of town the night of the 5th and coming back mid-morning on the 6th if Amtrak behaves; but if there are no crises at work I may be able to meet you for a quick lunch.

I am staying at the Renaissance Chicago Hotel. How about meeting around 730-800P somewhere in that area? Alternatively, I could meet earlier in the evening near ORD or on the el line between ORD and downtown.
Sweet Willie, I am sure you can come up with something creative.

Seriously, I really do hope you're feeling better soon! And feel free to join us tomorrow evening at 1492 if you're up to it! (See holmedown's thread about New Year in Cgo) Otherwise, see you next Thursday!
