Chicago area posters wanna chill and have a meet 'n greet?

[Chicago Storm]

From 4 to 7 there is a slight chance of Joe

From 7 to 10 there is a chance of Joe

From 10 to 10:15 Joe is likely

From 10:15 to 2am there is a chance of Joe

From 2:00 to 4:00 am there is a slight chance of Joe

Lol. I like it.

Was originally supposed to say slight, not light.

[Jonger]

Looks like I'll be in town around noon Saturday. My wife and I are using Amtrak. Believe it or not, this is my first real train ride, I don't count Huckleberry Railroad either. Our Michigan peeps will know what that is.

 

[Gilbertfly]

I can shoot for getting there between 6 and 7...then just leave it up in the air for a departure time. I'm not in a rush to get home...so I can work around whatever works for peeps

[Stebo]

I can be there any time, I should be getting into Chicago around 4PM local time, barring traffic of course.

[Jonger]

So has a spot been picked out?

[SchaumburgStormer]

4PM local time, barring traffic of course.

Dear god, good luck.

[Gilbertfly]

Howdy neighbor... live around I/55 and Weber. Sorry was late coming into this thread.

Sorry, just saw this Dan...I'm at Boughton and Weber myself. Are you gonna try and make it the 24th?

At Jonger....I think the place will be Palmer Place in LaGrange. I have never been there before...it was a recommendation via Tuanis and seemed pretty cool and agreed upon by the few that chimed in as a good spot to meet

[Stebo]

Dear god, good luck.

Thankfully I am not going into Chicago so that should help.

[A-L-E-K]

is the last BNSF train into the city (back from LaGrange) really 9:00 something or am I reading things wrong. I'd really prefer to take the train but that's stupid early.

Yeah, that's no good...

Uber?

There's a train at midnight. Pick the "La Grange Road" station as your starting point.

Unfortunately I have to go to a formal dinner that night. >8[

[SchaumburgStormer]

Do we have an address for this place? Going to see if I can easily make it by train.

Palmer Place

56 South La Grange Road, La Grange, IL 60625

Bummer...maybe we can catch up some other time with how local we are...cheers

[Jonger]

I'll probably stay in the burbs Saturday night.... spend $90 a night versus $300. Considering we will be in the burbs Saturday evening, might as well save the $210. My wife has her employer covering a sweet hotel in the loop for the other two nights. I held off on booking Saturday night until I knew where the meet up was going to be.

[Stebo]

Booked the hotel room today for where I am going to stay that night after the meet and greet.

Yup, I am pretty wide open in my schedule (go figure the one night) plenty of local establishments around here. I have wanted to try that brew house over by the Olive Garden on Weber. A mile or two south of Boughton

[Castaway]

I live 10mins from La Grange.

I'll most likely be able to swing by!

[A-L-E-K]

Aiming to roll in around 7:30, see you all Saturday

[tuanis]

I have a family dinner beforehand in Glenview, hope to make it there around 8 or 8:30. See everyone there.

[RCNYILWX]

My shift ends at 8pm, so I should be there no later than 845.

[Geos]

Sounds like people will start arriving near 7:30pm or just after. Plan on getting there between 7:30-8pm.

Probably need to leave here about 6:30. Been awhile since I've been down that way.

[Jonger]

I'll be there between 7 - 8pm.

[Gilbertfly]

Is anyone eating? I was planning on eating at home...but if any of the further travelers need a chow buddy I can come a bit earlier. I am gonna take the train from Naperville into LaGrange. Should be arriving to the station around 7:00. Cheers

[Jonger]

Does the line run from Chicago to Le Grange? I didn't think it did. I figured I'd use Uber to make up the gap.
