I'd love to join you guys, but my wife is due to download the little one on 29 March...I think I'd REALLY be in the dog house if I missed the birth of my first son because I was up at a soda machine show!  Maybe next year! |

I'll be there as always. I plan on arriving on wednesday and leaving Friday afternoon. Portofillo's sounds good to me for dinner on thursday, I really enjoyed hanging with everyone last fall. Heard through the grapevine they just aquired a Pepsi Quickold Jr to keep the Coronas cold.........

I would love to make it seeing as how I missed last fall due to lack of funds and a 7 month old baby boy at home (kind of go hand in hand!). As far as this time...We are leaving on a 7-day Mexican Riviera Cruise next Sunday so that will blow fund-age right out the window. I was then planning on making it to the Fall '09 show......But, found out three weeks ago that we will have a new addition to the family arriving around that time!! I guess the trade off is worth it!! |

Congrads on the new addition Brian. Whats up with all the new baby's. All of the posts are about new additions to the family, not new additions to the collections. I think instead of being out in the garage tinkering with the soda machines, everyones been tinkering with something else. |

Rod,
Thanks!! Yeah, I kind of agree. The timing on my last two kids has been "uncanny". Maybe my wife is trying to sabotage my hobby.......Yeah! That's it!! No Chicago for you!
Actually she has always been more than understanding and actually got mad at me once for not taking her along to go get a machine! She also pretty much gave me full reign over how to finish the basement and even let me have a space for the gameroom that I've always wanted.

Just was firming up details... so should we say 6:30 to accomodate any late comers.. Portillo's again right next door to the Pheasant run.. So far I think we have Me and my wife Eric and wife Rod and Janet Tom from Jersey Brian (Seven181)(coming late) Harrison and Wife Larry (he's buying) if he sells that stoner... and anyone else who can join us... should be fun.. I'm looking forward to it... Gotta get a group photo this time! Safe Travels everyone! John |

Very funny John  The wife already staked claim to that money, if it sells. I'll probably be the only guy there with a peanut butter sandwich from home. I actually ate at Portillos yesterday. I was trying to find a Lou Malnati's around St. Charles, but there is no dine in Lou's near there, only pick up. Lou's is an awesome thick crust pizza place. Actually, while I was writing this the wife called me and asked if I want to go out for lunch with her and the kids today (they're off school). Lou's it is. |

It's funny, but when you live there, you hardly go to any of them, except for the Pizza parlors. Actually, the Chicago Yellow Pages list "Pizza" by itself. It is not under restaurants.
