Title: CHICAGO SHOW FALL 2013 ROLL CALL Post by: SIGNGUY on October 10, 2013, 09:24:00 am Hey guys/Gals,
The Fall Chicago Show is nearly a month away and figured we'd do a roll call once again. I did not make the Fall show last year but planning on it this year! Would be great to see everyone again if we want to get together for Dinner/Drinks again? I know in the past I've called and reserved the room as well as Rod and Janet have reserved it in the past too... so what do we want to do? Look forward to seeing you all there Thursday night and bright an early Friday AM! Title: Re: CHICAGO SHOW FALL 2013 ROLL CALL Post by: Eric on October 10, 2013, 09:39:48 am Wife and I will be there! See you all Thursday night! Safe trip everyone!

Isn't that in your backyard? :laugh: Title: Re: CHICAGO SHOW FALL 2013 ROLL CALL Post by: jholmgren on October 11, 2013, 09:11:14 pm I'm in - forgot I had enough SW points to get round trip flight for $5.00 :biggrin:
Anyone coming solo that would like to split a room, let me know via PM. I got a double at Pheasant Run. Checking in Thursday and checking out Saturday. Jim Title: Re: CHICAGO SHOW FALL 2013 ROLL CALL Post by: Larry on October 13, 2013, 10:20:08 am Yeah, it's about 35 miles from me but it's all rush hour traffic at dinner time. It takes me over an hour to get there. Friday morning is a lot easier to get to, time wise, but I don't have any money to buy anything and I took a lot of days off of work working on the house so I have no time or money. I did buy a few things this year already, but not soda related. So my quota is met for the year. :biggrin:

My brother lives in North Chicago near Wrigley Field. Hopefully in a few years he lives there and I can make it a long weekend! Find some treasures!! Title: Re: CHICAGO SHOW FALL 2013 ROLL CALL Post by: Creighton on October 13, 2013, 11:33:24 pm I'm in the same boat as Larry. No time or money. Oh, and the 1200 or so miles away part.
One of these days. Hope everyone has a great time!! Creighton |
