I believe we could handle getting there..;-)

We'll be staying at the Wyndham O'Hare, right next to the arena. You can get a great deal on Hotwire!

OK - Four people so far (Pieter, Erin, Red Special and myself).

Who else is with us? What about some of the people who expressed tentive interest earlier in the thread?

Like ... Tiff-a-NY, aaronh76, Michael Allred, KRKillerQueen, and Compliance Queen?

For planning purposes, please, pretty please. indicate if you plan on being there.

bump

And then there were 5 ...

Add Queen T to the pizza party ...

hey all,
count me in as well, there will be two of us.
cant wait to meet everyone......11 more days!!!!

Glad to hear it ... up to 7 now

We will probably be there a bit later than 5pm - We're hitting the spa for facials and massages at 3:00 :-) so I'm guessing that with the nightmare Chicago traffic we'll be there closer to 6....

KRKillerQueen - how many of you will be there at Giordano's? I am trying to get a count and possbily make a reservation so that we are not scattered at 3 or more tables throughout the restaurant.

Thanks

Just two of us :-)

Mixed News ...

I made a reservation for 9 people 4:30PM to be able to get a guaranteed reservation.

I had just attempted to make a reservation, and Girodano's already has one reservation for 50 people at 5:15. .... I wonder .... LOL

I know at least 3 of you might not be able to make it before 5:30. I apologize, but this other reservation for 50 puts a crimp in things.

Please let me know if you still can make it, so that I can adjust the reservation if necessary.

Sorry for the confusion. Please let me know and hope to see you there.

We'll be there at 4:30. What name is the reservation under incase we get there first?

Van

anyone notice that Buddy Guys is closed that night due to a private party? hum.....I wonder why? ;)

i'll be there with another group...but i dont think we'll get there earlier than 6:00.

Hope you have a plan "B", in case the place is completely packed. Then again, the 5:15 reservation for 50 might be filing out shortly after 6:00
