Oh...and I could probably use a lift from some kind soul from ORD...

Please count me in.

You've been added to the list. See you Monday!

Preparing a contingency plan...
 

In case I am unable to wrangle a vehicle for my use tomorrow, I am trying to make a contingency plan.

Is there anyone who would possibly be able to transport me to/from downtown to the restaurant? I can travel easily enough in & out of the city from the suburbs on Metra, but getting to the restaurant may prove challenging. Please PM me, and let me know where & what time I should meet you if it is possible. I can figure out anywhere in/near the Loop easily enough. It's the rest of Chicago that is foreign to me! ;)

My thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to meeting a bunch of FTers I don't yet know!

I'm not but a chance to get to see you is worth it:p

restaurant is a 1.5 short blocks from the Edison Park Metra stop, very easy to walk to. Here is the schedule outbound from the city: http://metrarail.com/Sched/cnw_nw/cnwnwwo.shtml

pm me details of flight

mid-day bump - latecomers welcome.

I know where that building is! I get my Jamaican meat pies there.

Is your sig an inside joke or are you talking about the place on Howard that makes DELICIOUS Jamaican meat pies.

It's a quote from the TV show 30 Rock. But I do like Jamaican meat pies.

I regretfully won't make it tonight. :(
Hope everyone enjoys dinner!

Well, that was fun! Thanks to Sweet Willie for the great company (and ride) and thanks to Nick and iluv and Plainsman for a great dinner. I am quite proud that we had at least two snorting laughs before dinner. It was fun evaning and visit. Sorry we missed the two Canuckians, but I hope I did our country proud (I razzed them about the USD at least a couple of times for you). My apologies again for the liberal use of the word "equipment" but I was overtired, etc. Or that's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)

That's ok, you're always that way around iluv2snort... :)

I hope your neighbor on the other side of the thin walls decides to turn in early tonight and not watch TV loudly.

or do other things,

great to see everyone last night and meet a new FT'er^, willie's limo service didn't charge anything last night:eek:@:-):D

Sorry I missed it folks... I had been up since 3am local time... took 3 flights... worked 6 hours... my eyes were beyond red...

I will be back though!
