Wish we could make it, but that weekend we head out of town to go to Irish Fest in Milwaukee. Loved the Gurnee meet and hope to do another Chicago meet someday, but timing seems to be bad. Enjoy!

 

[DonnaW]

hmmm....maybe....I'll keep checking here...(thanks for the "heads up", Kim!)

 

[Doctor P]

Thanks for the heads up, Kim!

Kim...and FYI if it helps at all. I want to attend cause I haven't seen you and anyone else all summer but I am unavailable until around 2pm that day. Just letting ya know - Market Day ya know!!!!

 

[scarlett873]

oh sure...another meet and i can't come!!! at least i don't think i can anyway...we'll be up in mishawaka, indiana that day for a company picnic and i think we'll be staying overnight too, but i don't think that we will be able to get away from there to chicago for a meet...

 

[NancyIL]

Can't make that one.

 

[mamajoan]

Yes.. I will be there.. and I will try to sport something LIME Green for the occaision.

For those of you who don't know who I am.. I am Joan of California...and I am returning to my roots of the midwest for a summer vacation. Kim has been kind enough to initiate a Dismeet while I am there...... You see I have never been to a Dismeet even tho I have been on these boards for 3 years.. amazing but true.... I have heard fabulous tales of Chicago area Dismeets! and have seen some grand photos of the attendees.

I am looking forward to sharing some food, fun and laughs at the meet. I will try to bring a few ocean breezes with me in order to stave the heat of August in Illinois!

Hope to be seeing you there!

Joan

I Might come if i'm not working and I'd want Chicago pizza

 

[Dan Murphy]

Sounds good. Need to check the schedule.

 

[Dopeygirl]

As of right now, I have plans for that day. But they are likely just daytime plans, so depending on the meet festivities, I'm going to try to make it for at least a segment!

Not that I usually wish for my plans to be cancelled but I'm secretly hoping they'll all decide they can't do our plans that day afterall.

 

[Big V]

Can't make this one. I'll be camping that weekend.

 

[helenabear]

Wish I could come but I already have plans to go to the Cincy meet that day. I am bummed because that's two meets in a row I couldn't make it to I am dying to get there sometime to see the city again so hopefully at the next meet, we'll be there Have a great time all.

 

[KimRaye]

OK, for those wondering about plans, here's what Joan & I have come up with (subject to INCOMING ideas, please) :

Joan would like pizza at Gino's. Rolling Meadows would be best for her (I think), she's probably staying in Libertyville. So, Lunch at Gino's.

And, we're thinking we follow that with either Woodfield or, One Woodfield Place. We could gather at Woodfield, I guess....her teens could see a movie, whatever. Or, at One Woodfield Place, we could do gameworks again and, her teens could see a movie and/or do gameworks.

Gee, Joan & I failed to discuss dinner! Oops! Well, like I said, this is ALL just ideas right now.

I know that sometimes people don't seem to want to suggest anything until some ideas are thrown out there so, we're throwing out some ideas. Suggest away!!! Touristy things out that way would be great as well!

I thought a DIS bowling meet would be HUGE fun but, Joan could only watch & heckle us so, no go on that!!

Please submit.......

Thanks!!!

Well, two friends have cancelled out of that day! Two more to go and I'm free for the meet! LOL

 

[Bunchkin]

I'm pretty sure that we will be able to make it.

Pizza sounds good. And going to Woodfield mall or to a movie sounds good too. But we're not too interested in Gameworks. The food there was good but found the atmosphere lackluster. What about seeing Freaky Friday or Pirates of the Carribean?? Not sure if there is anything animated coming out then.

 

[We4mickey]

I'm sorry to say. We4mickey and family can't make that one.
As we will be at Fort Wilderness. Have fun

 

[mamajoan]

Hey there Chicagoland!!


We are in the Midwest! Whoa! I forgot what HUMIDITY is like in the summertime!
We are enjoying our roadtrip thus far. Hope to see you all on Friday or Saturday Aug.15/16!
