That's great. (I'm there from Thursday afternoon till Monday morning.)
Walter, I'll be there early morning of the 5th, Friday. Maybe we can get together with some folks for something, drinks and/or dinner on Friday.
Walter,
Are you going to rent a car and drive c.i. around?
Don't think so. But I will test the public transport system there. :wink:
Well, Walter has a lead foot, and the speed limit in Chicago will be a constraint on Walter. I would hate to see him suffer like that!
yo dont tup ur head or u will b tupin ur led
Is the city of Chicago ready for Walter?
That is the burning question.
Don't say "burning" and "Chicago" so close to each other.
He doesn't have a cow, does he?
But Germany does have good beer and sausages.
Okay, here is the current status, as I gathered it from re-browsing this thread, and from picking up remarks on other threads. If you'd like your name moved into a different category: just say so, I'll edit the list and repost next week.
Definitely be there (10 total):
Dagmaraka, mac 11, J_B, Jespah, Ossobucco, Sozobe, timberlandko, sublime 1, Thomas, Walter Hinteler.
Probably be there (5 total):
Cicerone Imposter, Eva, joefromchicago, jpinmilwaukee, yitwail.
Would like to be there but don't know yet (16 total):
Calamity Jane, Clary, dyslexia, Francis, georgeob1, gustavratzenhofer, Husker, JamesMorrison, JamesMorrison's wife, McTag, Merry Andrew, Phoenix, realjohnnyboy, satt_fs, Smog.
Seemed interested, but haven't said it explicitly yet (5 total):
ehBeth, Lion Tamer, Piffka, wandeljw, Mr. Stillwater.
Thomas, unless I do some heavy passive-aggressive maneuvering, I probably won't be there.
And I'm in the "probably" category.
And there will likely be sundry spouses and such, which up the working total.
And I think c.i. has already bought tickets, which would make him more definite than most.
Thanks so much for taking this on!!!
I'm in the interested-with-a-snag column.

Thomas, if you can convince the hamburgers to go to Chicago, I'm in.
The get-together is on hamburger's birthday, and is shortly after their return from a 5-week cruise celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. I'll be wherever they are that day/weekend.
If it's Chicago ...
As far as I understood dys and Diane would like to be there but don't know yet.
It would be dys or diane but even that is up in the air at the moment.
