i'm about 1/2 an hr from chi...we should all wear shirts with our gc name on it lmao we could decorate them ourselves :D

Bwahaha, I make fun of Scumburg all the time and I grew up in Arlington Heights. Hell, I make fun of Arlington Heights, too! ;)

OK kids - I am definitely in unless we have a monsoon on Wednesday night. I'm going to be coming down after my final exam, so I might be late, but I'll be there!

As for recognization - I'm thinking either letters or badges? And since we are reserving a table (right alphachiohmy?), then we could put it as the "Greek table" or something like that.

AlphaFrog, if you need directions from the Peoria, I can give them to you - and definitely go check out IKEA! It is right by Woodfield and is sooo much fun!

I think damasa might be coming with me also, I'll ask him next time he's on.

**think** I'm coming as well......count me in for now;)

So do we want to go letters or pin attire? How fancy is this place?

Geeky-directions would be wonderful! PM me....I cleaned out my box!:D

Ok...so I thought since I had Wed off I'd come up Tuesday night...but I can't find a hotel where you can check in if your'e under 21 (I'm 5 months shy...) HELP!

are there really nine of us??
 

OK, so I am getting ready to make reservations. Counting from this thread there could be nine of us. I will try and put the name under "John hammell." (it sounds a little more normal than "greekchat") Are there any changes?

8 p.m. @ Maggianos Schaumburg

Maggianos is nice, but I think you could get away with wearing jeans and nice sandals and a nice shirt, or khakis. Anyone have any preference?? Let me know.

Three days away!

Alpha Frog - sorry I don't know of any hotels. Maybe you could buy online and then just go w/o them ever checking id???

Re: are there really nine of us??
 

I think we could go either way also (for clothing). AlphaFrog, I will send you some directions tomorrow (my head is broken right now and they won't be very helpful).

Maybe you could decide whether you'd rather wear letters or a pi individually? I'll probably wear my pin because my letters are all crazy (hot pink, polka dots, etc) so would look sort of out of place, but I think more subdued letters would be fine...

I just got a really cute new dress and outfit (I don't know which I want to wear yet...) so I think I'm going pin (plus I love my pin!)...

And I'm a really big idiot (again)...my aunt lives just outside of Orland Park...Hello..FREE room & board...

AlphaFrog, I've booked many a room before I was 21. The whole booking online thing does work. But hopefully you won't even have to worry and be able to stay with your aunt!

I will be in pin attire, but no pin. :( My little sister still has mine... maybe I will be tacky and wear my A Phi flip flops. :D

reservations are made for 8:00!!! anyone have a camera?

I'm getting a disposable camera.

Any other info I need to know needs to be up by tomarrow morning because I'm taking off around noon for Chicago....

I'm so excited!

So my Phil. professor is a dick and has decided he is going to lecture some more before our final...we are allegedly starting it at 6:15, but I'll believe that when I see it. :p

I am going to try really hard to make it, but if I'm in that final until 8, I'm not driving to Schaumburg and back afterwards. If I'm not there by like 9:00, it's because I'm not coming...

I HATE SCHOOL.

I haven't responded to this thread in a while because I've been crazy-busy getting ready for SAI convention, and then I was at convention, but now I'm back! I'll definitely be there at 8pm on Wednesday - am I included in the reservations?

Yup, everyone is included who said they might/could come. No big changes. I think I will be in letters, but they are on a pullover (blue and green). See you all soon!
