Is anybody else planning on showing up?

My car goes into the shop on Friday. There's no way.

[Q Classic]

Hmm. Well, I'm not sure, but I might be able to duck out of work early, and go in on Saturday, but... hmm.

(Sorry my answers have been spotty--we switched internets providers from dsl to cable, so I didn't have regular internets until today.)

So, I can make it, I suppose, after 12.30 or so, at best?

[rah]

Damn, sound much better than sitting in at a memorial service/lunch. But at least I'll be on the golf course afterwards.

Donnegal, is bringing the baby a possibility?

It's not just the baby. I actually work that morning (I work 3rd shift 11 PM to 7 AM) and when I get home, I take over baby duty from my wife who then FINALY gets to sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. She gets up at about 10:00 and I go to bed as I have to work that night as well. Additionally, I live 2 1/2 - 3 hours away. I just don't think its doable.

Bummer... it does sound tough... but totally understandable. I wouldn't want to do it if I were you.

Che... it might just be you and me

[snoopy369]

I'll be there promptly @ 12pm (or a bit before). I'll be wearing a blue zip-front Columbia sweatshirt with probably khaki pants. Long dark brown ponytail, and a watch that weighs about 1,000 pounds (silver casio G-Force) on the left wrist

HEY!!!


I said I will be there!!!


I am leaving the house at 10:30 AM

I will hopefully arrive in the city around 11:30 and after parking, be there with time to spare!


WHAT AM I ???? CHOPPED LIVER?!?!?!

[snoopy369]

Driving to the city ... bad idea, if you can somehow take the metra it would be probably faster and definitely cheaper Parking $10+, perhaps $20 depending on how far you want to walk...

public transportation?


with the peasants?







no this is easier...

plus, I don't know the Metra schedule... and I don't feel like walking from the station to Bergoff


the parking garage is right next door to Bergoff's

I'll just take the Stevenson... traffic is not bad that time of day. Plus I can listen to the Score.

And I don't have to ride a train with all the QUEERS WITH AIDS AND UNWED MOTHERS AND CRIMINALS AND STUFF

I used to ride the Naperville line all the time. Go to the Rt 59 stop.

Ride the 'L' in the city. Overall definitely cheaper and prolly faster.

and there's a bus that runs nearly to the berghoff from there (151).

But feel free to drive ... just remember ...

When you ride alone, you ride with Bin Laden

[Sava]

taking Eisenhower instead

[chequita guevara]

The Eisenhower has the evil Hillside Strangler. Remember, parking in the city costs big bucks, unless you get &uumlr luck and find a metered space on Wabash.

God, I feel icky. Too much wine and beer last night. Mighthave to stick to root beer this morning, since the bachelor party is tonight.

[Sava]

there's a parking garage next to Berghoff's that is reasonable...

okay time to get ready to leave
