Nicki, Elias and I thought we should make a thread that details the meet location, the attendance list and the schedeule for the Feb 9-10 meet in Chicago, so here goes!

I will be attending. For sure the 10th, hopefully I can get off of working on the 9th, so I can come down either on the 9th, or Thursday night, but probably Friday early afternoon, because I'd like to leave here around 9 or so, and get down there between 3-4.

Aside from the meet, the only things I wanna do as far as sightseeing go would be to go to the Ferrari/Lamborghini dealer, or perhaps a Rolls Royce/Bentley dealer, or go to the top of the Sears Tower.

swooosh


O.K. So what were we discussing before we were so rudely interrupted? Oh yeah, is there anywhere for us out-of-towners to park near a metro and all ride in. Looks like I'll come up Saturday afternoon, weather permitting.

Gizmo, I know at most suburb metra stops they have parking lots to park your car which is free. I believe its also free parking on weekends, check me on that to make sure. At the restaurant, its free parking. At McCormick place I'm not too positive on how much parking is, I'll have to find Jesda and ask him. I hope that answers your questions, feel free to ask more.

Vic, dinner is on Saturday 9th night. I'm aiming for 7-7:30 time. Just people aren't responding to that to let me know so I can see if I can possibly make a reservation. Sunday 10th after 12 PM we're meeting at the auto show. I said above to Gizmo, if you have any more questions let me know.

Man I wish I would have found out about this sooner, I just discovered this great lakes forum, was this meet ever posted to any of the other caddy forums? I'm only 2 hrs. away, but I can't make it that weekend.

gdwriter, jesda, gizmo, 90brougham, kael - I had a great time with you guys last year at the des moines meet, wish I could stop down and see all of you again. Hope you are all coming to davenport in April, I already got my vac time requested for that one.

Same here, looks like SNOW eeek!

We've had several days of half-assed attempts at snow here in Western Oregon. A combination of snow and ice overnight Sunday, just a little, but enough to make the roads very slick driving to work Monday morning. Dumb-ass students at the university walk right in front of my car without even bothering to look, the ABS is chattering and and I'm helplessly sliding. Should have hit them. Changed to rain in the afternoon and all snow gone by the drive home. Then it changed to snow again overnight. Mostly just slushy on my drive to work today. Rain/snow mix driving home, but it's right on the border of freezing, so not much accumulation yet. Wish it would just snow and stay snow for at least a couple of days.

I left work around 4-4:30, it was 40F, got only 60 miles away and it was 17F.... In around 90 minutes... I got gas on the way, it was 33F when I got out of the car, got it full and down the road 1 mile and it was 30F..... It was 47F around 10am.... WBBM called it "flash freezing"....
