Title: Chicago Coin Op Thursday Dinner
Post by: Funtronics on October 26, 2012, 03:13:28 pm
Ok guys I got the room rented at Portillo's for Thursday Nov 8th at 6.00PM. This will give us all a lot more room to sit and eat together and have a few drinks and meet everyone. It should be a lot of fun. Could everyone respond if they are going to make it. This way we know roughly how many people will be there.  :drinking:
Thanks !!!
