Hoosier Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Forgot to vote for the 17th in the poll...now it's 9 to 9...not sure what you want to do. I could try for the 24th but would be tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbertfly Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Well, the poll closed...but since you were going to start this thread at the same time anyways Hoosier we should roll with the 9 to 9 vote... With that being the case....maybe anyone who voted for the other days can choose between the 24th and 17th by this weekend...then we will officially close the poll? My only concern is giving the longer travelers prep time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Either weekend is fine by me though sooner doesn't bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I voted, and it just dawned on me that I am not cleared to drive yet. (Vehicle accident recovery continues). So you can disregard my vote, and toss a few cold ones back for me.

My only concern is giving the longer travelers prep time... Schaumburgstormer did vote for 24th, so if we do disregard his vote as he would not be able to come, it would be 9 for 17th 8 for 24th.

Gilbertfly Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Good point Stebo...so perhaps we will just run with the 17h then...at Palmer Place...time TBD...but at least later in the day to accommodate your travel sounds fair to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Let's meet for beers. You staying in the loop or burbs? Downtown. My wife didn't get laid off, so the trip should still be on. We are taking AmTrak into town, I'll get the exact details and we can definitely meetup. I think he conference is the coming Monday, but we might as well get in early for the weekend. Now the fun part, getting baby sitting lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Looks like Sat 24th through Tuesday the 27th for me. We have to cover Saturday, her employer covers Sunday and Monday night. What hotel do you think is best under $250 a night in the Loop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What hotel do you think is best under $250 a night in the Loop? i think that just depends on what kind of deals are on the table on the usual priceline type sites. The new Hampton Inn in the Chicago Motor Club Building was just redone, it's pretty affordable and pretty sweet looking, it's also a nice central location. http://hamptoninn3.hilton.com/en/hotels/illinois/hampton-inn-chicago-downtown-n-loop-michigan-ave-CHILOHX/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuanis Posted October 5, 2015 Share Posted October 5, 2015 Hey y'all, is this a go? What date did we decide on? Want to get it on the calendar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Can still do the 24th fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxDanny Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 If you are interested let me know...or post here...whatever. Originally was thinking the weekend after Labor Day weekend...on September 12th. RC and I live pretty close by each other and not too far from LOT itself. Perhaps meet at a restaurant/bar near by...access via 355, I55, I88, etc....and/or chill at my house for more banter. I basically live at Boughton and Weber. I will delete this thread if there is no interest or after the 12th...figured things are slow enough that the servers could handle it for a week or 2 Cheers EDIT: you can pick as many options as you want. The one with the most votes we will run with for now. Looks like Palmer Place in LaGrange, IL is being favored at the moment. Try and decide by next Saturday. At that point we will pick and roll with it. Howdy neighbor... live around I/55 and Weber. Sorry was late coming into this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I won't be able to make October 17, as something has come up. If the 17th is still the plan at Palmer House - have a great time. I hope a lot of people can get together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebo Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I am fine with changing to the 24th if that is better for everyone else. Seems like the 17th is going backwards anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the weekend of the 24th works better for most at this point, including me. I'm happy to call and see if we can reserve something with the bar if we can get at least 6 of us to commit. I'm in. Who else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 Since I thought before we were leaning towards the 16th i started planning other stuff around that....including some things on the 24th. Totally fine....no worries...I will see if I can shift some things around and make the 24th happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I'm booked for Saturday the 24th through Tuesday the 27th. So Saturday evening I'm game for anything.

SchaumburgStormer Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 I will be a game time decision based on my health. Getting an injection into my spine today that will be the deciding factor as to if I am having a spine surgery. So, if I feel up to it physically, I will meet wherever (maybe take the train in) to put some faces to the names/avatars and throw back some brews. But at this point, count me as a no when figuring numbers. I would love to at some point in the future have a Chicago based americanwx seminar/meet and greet with some presenters and such. Probably a long shot since the one they have is on the east coast, and our numbers pale in comparison; but I think that would be an awesome time to meet everyone, swap some stories, and get some learning in at the same time.
