Already DIScussed before this weekend's meets and, DIScussed this weekend as well so, I'm starting a feeler thread... Let's talk dates, let's rule out dates, let's think about/talk about a place to meet, ok? ;)

For me right now, I don't know of any problems with dates. My only thought right now is that, we're always looking for somewhere to handle our group and, we don't normally have a "group-size" room-kinda-ressie (min. 25) but, I know I've seen a pizza place (NON-Gino's) that WILL reserve a room for smaller groups....i.e. US! From what I remember, it is a certain $ amount per person depending on menu selected and, it seemed reasonable, almost cheap. I would, of course, look into this in more depth but, my main point was to start a DIScussion about a date!

I know things always come up last minute and, plans can change but for now, during the next couple months, we can plan and think about the next meet, right?

And, if I'm not mistaken (forgive me if I'm wrong)..this would be dopeygirl's (Tricia's) last meet as a Chicago-area resident :( so, it will be an important Meet...one surely not to miss!

OH, and....PLEASE subscribe to this thread so you can be reminded of updates and, read all new threads and hopefully, post and give some ideas of your own! ;)

Let's get started!! :wave:
 
Hi Kim. We had a wonderful time at the Dis Meet yesterday. It was great to see everyone.

For October Jeff and I would be open right now for any weekend but the 26th as we are leaving for Disney then. We will be gone in Disney the last week of October - November 6th.

I am sure Jeff will keep more up to date on the goings on as I hardly ever go on the DIS anymore (too busy with the girls).

Thanks again for everything. It was a FUN time!!!:)
 
As of right now I don't see any "bad weekends" for me. I'd rather keep it closer to Oct. or earlier Nov. though because with Thanksgiving and a WDW trip, I might not have much time to get out there. Plus I prefer driving when I am more sure there won't be snow ;)

Just my preference though but I'm looking forward to coming out!!! I have a chance of coming out in Sept too but I need to talk to Luis with that one. He has some sort of meet for a computer forum he posts on. So I might be out twice in a short amount of time ;)
 
Let me check the schedule (Lady M), Kim, I am sure any weekend is open, as far as I know (that is not too far sometimes, LOL :eek: ) Looking forward to a nice one, albeit a sad one with DG leaving town soon after.

Oh goodness, Gael posting as Jeff, now we will never know for sure. ;)
 

Great idea, Kim, finding a place that will allow us to hang out for a while instead of shooing us away as soon as the last fork hits the plate. :)

The only plans, so far, that we have is for the first weekend in October.
Other than that nothing so far.
 
WWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :( :( :( :( I don't WANNA' plan this one. If we just don't plan it, do you think it might mean I don't have to leave you guys? :(

Didn't think so...in that case, it looks like I'll be busy just the weekend of the 18th. Assuming I'm figuring correctly, Jim will graduate from basic sometime the week of the 13th (I should know more later this week). So I'll be going down for that and then probably that weekend to see the family. But the family trip might be the 25th instead. First or second weekend of November SHOULD work for me also but, again, I should know better about that later this week.

So, basically, I'm of no help right now except to say that I don't want to leave you guys. :(

I'll post again when I know more.
 
First weekend I will be in Las Vegas. I am in WDW on the 26th. Any time other than that is OK by me.

We are out of town Oct. 10th, 11th, and 12th. November gets a little hairy. Besides that I do not see anything on our schedule at this point. Rest assured Trica dear we will see you...even if this does not plan out when we can make it. Count Ellen and I in if its any of the other weekends.
 
Most definately interested Kim! Like Elaine, the weather is the only factor to stop me. We will be heading to the world from 11/8 to 11/17 & other than that am open at the present.
I thought I'd seen the last of DG:p But in all seriousness would love one more opportunity to see (& hear) that smile & laugh again!
The further south the meet the better, but if it gets the group to a place that Nicole doesn't get us kicked out of, then anywhere in the greater Chicago area!;)
You guys are a great group of people to meet with anytime!
Please keep me posted!:D
 
Right now I'm open anyweekend except October3-6. I think my Dh would like to see his wife on their wedding annv.
 
I think I'm available any weekend other than Oct 18th. I'd like to keep it as far from Thanksgiving as possible.
 
THANKS EVERYONE! Let's keep those dates and, non-dates, coming in!!!

Barry, if there's a TV & VCR, I will definately bring my tape! ;)
 
If I could get a ride up from a friend then possibly.

I am home on fall break from October 18th to the 26th and then again for Thanksgiving.

October 3-5 is Family Weekend so I would stay on campus
then October 31st to Nov 1st is Old Gold Weekend.
and November 15th is the biggest football game of the season so I couldn't come that weekend.
 
Anytime other than the first weekend is fine with me dude;)
 
I would absolutely love to come to one of the Chicago meets!! DH & I could make a weekend out of it!! That would be so much fun!! I am only busy the weekend of October 24th & 25th. If what you choose fits into our schedule I'd love to come! I'll watch this thread for further info.:D
 
We'll be in WDW Oct. 4 & 5. Back on the 9th but DH & DS8 will be camping. I'll be around but would need to bring DS3 with me :eek:. That would depend on where and when.

Busy also Oct. 25 & 26.

All other October & November dates are open as of right now. Would love to see everyone again. I enjoyed last time.:D
 
Just an FYI - October 10-13 is Columbus Day holiday weekend so perhaps that might work out for some - might not work for us. But we aren't really sure.
