I doubt those of us leaving Friday PM could make it there before the show is closed for the night we could meet there sometime Saturday...



Yes If I carpool with Natalie. I will be staying the entire weekend. Did you read her post? leaving Friday PM working Sunday PM coming home after that. I would interpet that as being the whole weekend.. I know sometimes things have to be explained to you in terms you can understand. We will try harder next time for you..


Lemme see if I get this straight...

Great, yes, I agree, good plan, probably after 8pm, yes, and open for ideas, and it will be a late one, I'm sure.

hehehehehe

It does sound like a great plan. Meet me in Livonia, we'll pick up John, and head up to Rosemont. If I get my butt out of bed early enough that week, I can probably leave even earlier than 4pm, so we get there in time to do the full meet and greet, hopefully before 8pm.

We will arrive after the show ends for the night, however. Maybe a good place to meet up initially will be one of the hotel rooms at the Embassy. Tiggrr is not staying on premises, so I'll offer up my room as the host spot and afterglow. We can text everyone when we are checking in and pass out the room number. Once we have met up, we can decide where to go.

Okay, sorry, my TypeA planning skills just kicked in.

:rofl3:
 
One thing we could do is meet at the SB booth at a specified time.
"
Or, if anyone local has any ideas of a place we could go....

Will most of us be at the Embassy? I can offer my room up as the meet and greet and afterglow place to hang.
 
Are you going all Broke Back on me again? We can spoon, but you'll get nothing else unless you buy me dinner and drinks.

I said that I would go but you need to take me to dinner, somewhere nice to where you need to make a reservation, followed by drinks. It wouldn't hurt your chances to pick up some flowers and maybe some jewelry and not any cheap stuff either.


Now, see, I was going to offer up my room to share and then I read this thread. Sounds like you two cowboys may want some private time though.

Pssst.... John: Don't forget dancing. Hold out for a slow dance to your favorite song. Make him work for it! :rofl3: :rofl3:
 
Can we park at your house and take the EL or a train? Do the ELs have whiskey cars? Might be more fun than a chill pill and bumper to bumper.

:rofl3::rofl3::rofl3:

just kidding. I wasn't really intending to turn your driveway into a surface lot.

That does sound like a plan.. hehe or we could park at one of those commuter lots and ride the train in. or flip a coin.. loser drives and the others drink:D

the Embassy?? wow Not sure if I can afford that?? But if they got a bar on premise that might be the way to go, no driving that way.. then everyone can enjoy... Duh what am I thinking it is chicago they have public transportation. I come from an area that doesnt have that.. Not used to putting that into the plan.

Not to worry.... I will need a place to stay I might take you up on that room sharing.. if a certain Buckeye makes an appearance I will be chopped liver.. and booted out to the cold..

FYI Ted: I did book my Fri / Sat room at the Embassy. It is one of the preferred show hotels. I know Tiggrr is staying out of the area, but not sure where yet.

We are not in downtown Chicago. I've not been to Rosemont before, not sure how much of Chicago falls into Rosemont, in terms of transportation and trains.

Anyone from the area know?
 
the way this is looking we might want to see about just taking the train from Livonia:D:D:D

Okay, don't laugh, but I just went and checked the train schedule. It would be something like $60 round trip for 1 adult. LOL. Train times are not great however, and it pulls into Union Station so we still need to get across town to Rosemont.

So, it looks like the coin toss will have to determine who gets the whiskey car, er, I mean backseat. :D
