Chicago/Milwaukee GC Get-together

[navane]

Come on, Chicago folks, work with me here!

I suppose I could just do an internet search and come up with a place and time - but I'm not really all that familiar with the city.

Or, knowing me, I would book a meal at one of the Polish restaurants on Milwaukee Ave. Though, I'm not sure if you all would be too keen on that!

Anyone have any ideas for Monday the 21st through Friday the 25th of June?

Dittoes. I'll be out of school/work (June 4th can't come soon enough!), so I can probably make just about anything with enough advance notice.

I live in the burbs, so I have no idea what to do or where to meet, other than I'm not a "clubbing" or dance party person.

Navy Pier might be interesting, since there's tons of places to gather and eat, but that's about all that's coming to me right now...

So what is the news about this gang? are we doing it or not? what are some of the ideas...I was thinking maybe we could go to Uno's or Due's (Sorry for the spelling) and maybe meet somewhere like that or Navy Pier sounded fun. What if we all got together and saw a Cubs game or a Sox game? What about that?

Let me know

Is there any way to schedule another one for...say, July 17-20?

Many of us GC AGDs will be out in full force in Chicago for our Centennial Convention. At this point, Monday July 19th would seem like the most ideal day considering we have a free afternoon and evening off from Convention festivities. In the AGD forum many of us were interested in getting pizza together or something.

I'm game (and I'm sure some others will be too) to do something after the evening Convention events too.

Anyway, Convention central will be at the Chicago Downtown Marriott. Convention ends on the 21st, but I will be in town until Monday the 26th.

I'm looking forward to having a cocktail or two or three with Jules and Blaine. I still owe the biatch shots for her birthday!

Let us know!

I'm game.

I honestly don't leave work until really late. I also won't be eating foods like pizza because I'm not a fatty and my stick-figure model gf requires me to be cut up. So I think I'll be passing.

Have fun to everyone that comes. Chicago sucks, the girls are eh, but I guess the lake is kinda pretty so you might enjoy it

WOOT! That is the best thing I've heard all day. Remind me to give you my cell- cannot wait for our night of destruction!

Hi again,

Can we set something up for Thursday or Friday afternoon/evening, June 24 or 25?

As some of you have just found out, I will be initiated into Gamma Phi Beta on Saturday, so I really can't do Saturday. My family has picked Sunday as our get-together day.

If we pick Navy Pier, as some have suggested, will I know where to meet you all?

Looks like I won't be able to make it after all, at least not that particular week.

Bia, I'm thinking about getting a hotel room for the weekend before I leave. You mentioned something about getting one in the suburbs since it's cheaper....any suggestions? I'm afraid I won't be able to get around since I'll get lost in an instant!

Can't do Thursday night, since I have theater tickets, but I could do an afternoon Thursday or some time on Friday, maybe.

Meeting at Navy Pier is fine as long as you pick a place to meet, like the ferris wheel or the garden or whatever.

[Sister Havana]

Thursday and Friday are the days I won't be around...I will be going to Michigan for a wedding!

[mshoole]

I say you pick a date and tell me. Then tell me when to meet you there. I am game for anything. I work doing the day so email me at my personal email ask sister havana for it if you need it. I can check it from work. I will be in town (I am almost permanently in California) The next two weeks of June and the first 3 weeks of July. Then I wont be back till the 3rd week of august for a little r and r before the school season starts.

While I don't think I can make it, I am from Northbrook which is right next to Deerfield and Highland Park- all about 20 miles north of the city. If you need any help/suggestions with that area (not for GC but just for you) let me know!

My dad grew up in Deerfield (Duffy Lane!) and my cousin lives in Highland Park.

Ok! Friday, June 25 at 7pm in front of the ferris wheel at Navy Pier.


mshoole? kateshort? Phasad1913?


Tell you what, post here or e-mail me at csulbkds@yahoo.com and let me know if you'll be there. I'll even give you my cell phone number so you know how to reach me. Otherwise, I guess I'll just show up and, if no one else does, have lots of fun by myself.

I've been to six GC gatherings across two countries.....please, let's not make Chicago my first disappointment ok?
