Hey fellas- I'll be in Chicago early next week and would love meet up for a beer or two if anyone is game. Monday or Tuesday night? I'll be in the loop, but willing to take a train to a central location if anyone is up for it.
Name the spot. -Brad |

If nobody is around Brad we can just stay down in the loop. My New Year's Resolution was to give up drinking but for a CCFan I'll make an exception.

Quinner, HWood, sounds good. I'm working about a block away, in the 300 S. Riveside plaza-
Name the place and I'll be there. Monday or Tuesday after work (5:30ish) sound okay? |

After work in Chicago is 3:30ish? Well for me anyways. Let's see if any more of the local knucklehads chime in, there is a place on Clinton just N of Monroe, Rocco's, if it's in the city, close to both train stations and most times street parking as well. |

Sure would be nice to meet you guy in person, share a few beers and laughs, but I know how it goes. Routines and schedules can be hard to break.
Quinner- Sounds like you're an early bird. If 5ish doesn't work for you, then maybe I could buy you a coffee at the Corner Bakery early in the morn. lemme know. -Brad |

Brad,
I can make whatever work either day, as another option we could always hop a train to Glenview (30 mins) and meet at the usual spot, the Glenview house, this could possibly make it easier for Pete, Mojo, PLBC, Alan, M3, etc. What do you guy's think? |

Brad, if you and CQ train it anywhere I can drive you back afterwards. Chris would have to see what trains you guys can take and where he can catch one back home.

HW,
That line into Glenview is mine home, works well for me, trains go both ways (like you HW) until around midnight. 4:45, 5:12 or 5:25pm trains to Glenview from Union Station. PS, Tuesday better for everyone? |

HWood- sure, don't mind taking the train to hook up with more fans!
Assuming Glenview House: Is that the Metra Milwaikee District North Line out of Union Station out to Glenview Metra stop? 46 mins according to CTA route planner. That would put me out there realistically around 6ish. |

Brad,
go to Metra Rail site Milw Dist North Line. I will meet you and we can ride out together. I would say Glenview around 6pm depending on when you can leave your office, your only a couple minutes to the train walking, the entrance is right across the street by Corner Bakery. |

Pete, I'd be interested in arriving early and "taking the edge off" like last time.

Alan, Don't worry about having to quit early since I'll probably be on my way home before you. I get in to the plant at 3am so my normal bedtime is about 7:30! HW, See you probably at 5:30 |

Quinner and Brad, what time is the train you guys are taking to Glenview? If I'm still at work at that time I'll probably meet up and ride with you guys. If not, I'll just drive out to Glenview. Either way, see everyone Tuesday!
