Oh my gosh, I don't read GreekChat for a few days, and almost miss this thread!!! I go to school in Missouri, but I'm from Arlington Heights, and want to stop by on Wednesday! Actually, my boyfriend and I were planning on going to Gameworks around that time anyways, (which is in the same shopping center), so we'll come by Maggiano's at 8!

Valkyrie--what H.S. did you go to? I went to BG and graduated in '99.

(edited to add) I don't think that we'll be eating (we're going on a mini date and eating at Gameworks), but count us in for drinks, if the reservations will allow for that!

It should be fine ... Do you go to school at Webster? I am going for grad school there this fall.

have a meeting in nebraska and ill be there! :p

I went to Rolling Meadows and graduated...well, a long time before you did! :)

Hi again kids - I am probably not going to make it because of my stupid philosophy final - but if you see a disgruntled looking Gamma Phi stumbling in, that's me!

In case any of you haven't heard, apparently there's really bad flooding and horrible traffic in Schaumburg, so be careful and leave early!!!!

Damasa and I will be there as close to 8 as we can-- looking GQ and what not-- see you all tonite!

Sorry I didn't make it guys... I was eating at Benihana's instead, doing some quality family time... they're sad because I'm leaving Friday afternoon and I was only home a week. But if you guys want to do something in mid-December/early January, I'm so there!

Hey, guess what?! I didn't go either. I have no money and I came home after having the day from hell at work and fell asleep. Poo.

I go to Nebraska often for the holidays, but usually my parents aren't too keen on me spending holiday family time with random people from the internet. ;)

Sorry you had a bad day valkyrie. :( Lots of Phi Bear hugs to you.

You people who did not come missed out - we had a really fun time! Great job on organizing it, alphachiohmy! :D

Wow...I'm tired...I juast got home....

Ok, so i get the prize for traveling the farthest, but I think there's some other awards to be given here:

Most Orgtanized: RedRoseSAI...man did she put tht meal together...

Any others?


PS I'll have the pics up as soon as I can!

Hey, all I did was read off the menu...you guys did the picking! :)

Good times, everyone.

Wow I'm surprised you guys didn't mention the strip club and beer goggles, HAHAHAHA.......I'm joking....kind of.....

Anyway:
qtbecks and bf get the prize for being great company while having food shoved in front of them that they weren't eating

Geeky Penguin- You win a GPS system so that you never wind up lost at a synogogue by Lake Michigan ever again!

I forgot to say that it was really nice meeting all of you. I had a good time and you guys are sweet :D

After meeting you all last night, I decided that I had to let you in on a little story. I was a bit skeptical about the whole idea beforehand. I had first decided to forego a night out with friends I haven't seen in a couple of years for a dinner date with my gf, thinking that we could spend some time alone together after spending the summer apart. When she brought up this idea of spending the evening with a bunch of stangers instead, I was more than a little disappointed. Somehow, the prospect of skipping our first night out together in some time for a dinner date with people I'd never even heard of didn't seem like the best trade-off, but she seemed really excited about it, so I agreed. As soon as people started showig up, however, I realized that it was definitely worth it--I hope the drives home weren't too long! My gf's been browsing through these forums for quite a while, and now I've finally realized why she spends so much time reading it. Thanks for a great evening, and best of luck to you all!!
