Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation

Ray - Why not go for a 1930's trade stimulator. They are great to play (especially the 21 machines) and 
are just the right size.

What day is the Portillo's get-together? Thurs? I'm in Chicago, so I'm pretty sure I'll be going. It'll be great to meet you guys. I'd like nothing more then to shake your hands for all the help on my machine thus far and see some good stuff at the show.

Well I'm set to go.   I picked up A few machines one for signguy and one for Rod , the 4Hr road trip to Kilroy's place then we had to wait two hours
for SliderBob to show up with a machine then harassed from Bob making me unload his vehicle and watching me load it in the back of my truck
by myself and then telling me too stay out of Kilroy's parents garage , Then Kilroy and Bob blaming me from taking them away from the Lion's game
(can you believe them WOW!!!)    
 So Rod & John you guys are set and we will settle up there  You may have to buy me a beer just from the harassment  from those two.

PS Don't believe what those two might say  


 Hey one more thing  for Thursday night are we going to still do the Glass vs Can vs Plastic in Coke and or Dr. Pepper Taste test  ??

Then Kilroy and Bob blaming me from taking them away from the Lion's game (can you believe them WOW!!!)

Was it during the first half or second half? First half - ehhh? Second half - I'd be bummed too (if I were a Lions fan).

Man...for the 1st time ever, Pat actually had to get in his truck and drive to pick up a machine!  He's so used to everyone bringing machines to him, that he now knows what that involves.  He even called me 2 hours later after he left Kilroy's parents house saying he was still on the road going home.  (By the way, it's a 1 hour drive tops from Kilroy's parents to Pat's house (not 4 hours), but then again, only Pat knows what mischief he got into on the way home!  He probably bought another machine on his way home in the back roads of Michigan!

Actually, Pat should get the Godd Samaritan award for the day...He helped out 2 local collectors (me and Kilroy), helped out 2 michigan Neihbor collectors (Rod and John), and even helped JohnieG move that day.  WHAT A GUY!  Thanks buddy!  We all owe you one!

I mean to say Good Samaritan, but actually Godd Samaritan may be more appropriate!
