20031011 - Chicago DIS Meet - A Fond Chicago Farewell to an AWESOME DISer--INDEXED

[Brisully]

The masses have voted, and October 11th seems to be the date the majority wanted. We will meet at Stratford Mall . Time ???? How about 1:00 P.M., in the Food Court.

Part 2 will commence at Culver's in Schaumburg .Don't know when we will make it over to Culver's, but let's plan for 6:00???

Do these times seem OK??? They are always adjustable.

Come and join in our Chicago farewell DIS Meet for Tricia / Dopeygirl!!!!!!!!

Brian, can Trish make it?! Didn't know if she voted or not.

 

[Brisully]

I believe she said she would be there. Trish??????

 

[KimRaye]

I hope so!!

 

[Dan Murphy]

Sounds good, Bri. Thanks for taking care of setting the date!!!!!!

So I am assuming that you will be at the mall probably until around 5:30? Our day is mass confusion at this moment and don't know if we will make it but if we have a time that you might be at the mall until that will help. We also have to get in a dinner with dh's mom since it will be a significant birthday and he will be leaving very early the next morning to go on a business trip for a few days. We'll try but I can't promise anything.

Thanks for setting this up Bri.

I will know for sure tomorrow night if (or when) I am working on the 11th. Even if I have to work, I should be able to make it to Culver's if nothing else.

 

[NancyIL]

I'm working on the 11th, so no Chicago meet for me.

 

[daughter_of_amid_chaos]

Ride??? Anybody?!?

 

[Dopeygirl]

Wahhhhhhhh!!!!!!! You guys, I'm already crying!! Who's bringing the kleenex for me???!

As far as I know, yes, that date works for me. I still haven't heard when (or if) I'll get to see Jim in October, so my availability still could change.

I can't believe I'm really moving away from you guys.

You're probably not! This is just some ploy to get a Meet named for you, right?!?!

I'll try to remember some Kleenex, Trish.

 

[leahannpen]

Okay, I'm out of the loop. Where are you moving to DG??? Well, good luck to you!

I will be at the PACKER game at Lambeau, for the very first time. I will be unable to make it.

Im on call 2-6 for that Saturday. If I do get called in, I will head straight to Culvers after work. That should put me there at about 6:30 or so. If Im not goign to be used, I will probably try to participate in the whole day.

 

[Brisully]

That's great Bethany. I am sure will be at Culver's for a while!!!

 

[Brisully]

You know, if there is a Cubs playoff game on the 11th, we could always head over to one of the local establishments, like Rock Bottom Brewery or Game Works to watch the game too. Just a thought.

I've been thinking about this. DH & DS8 will be out of town -- therefore, DS3 will be with me. I'm not sure how long he'll sit but I will plan to come up to Stratford with him. He does enjoy throwing pennies in the fountain and I'm sure I can tempt him with some pizza. Maybe I'll have him bring his pins and he can show off his collection (probably not, more like he just likes to take all the backs off of them -- he'll have a few new ones as we'll be just back the Thursday before). I suspect that he won't last all afternoon so when he's ready to move on (or I get tired of chasing him, whichever comes first) we can come back on over to Culvers in the evening. I think I can again tempt him with the idea of ice cream.

Brian, if it turns out there is a Cub's Game, we'll just have to pass. Game Works would do me in -- he'd love it with all the games over there. By the way, just down the street from Culver's is the Village Tavern. Very good food and they have the TV's around the restaurant also. Just another idea.

Hey Cindy...
I will have Sam (5) and his pins with me as well. He wont be able to handle 5 hours at the mall, so we will have to do the same thing you do. Go to the mall for a while, head home, then meet back up at Culvers. Then again, this all depends on whether or not I get called in to work. I amy only be doing Culvers.
I had the same thought about Village, but that place gets really loud and really crowded, so I dont know how it would work out for a large group. Especially if there is a playoff game.

That's great, Bethany. Hopefully the boys will entertain each other a bit and we'll have a chance to relax (probably not!!). Then I'll have a chance to tell you the story behind how Cissy Sullivan came to announce to her parents that she wasn't retiring after this year. I kind of had a hand in that.

 

[Dan Murphy]

We sure are looking forward o seeing everyone. Lady M and I are both ready for a great day of visiting!!!!

 

[Big V]

Finally found a dog sitter!(My Niece) So we plan on heading down on Friday night. Myself, my DW and my DD. Now it's time to try and find a hotel room. Can't wait to see everyone again!
