Kathy, I don't have to be at the airport until late morning on Saturday, so I have a feeling that things may go a bit later than you'd like. But before I assume so, what qualifies as too late? FYI, I'm staying at the Hilton Northbrook on Milwaukee.
brenda, there's no way I'll be able to get downtown by 6ish. I probably won't be done in the office until 5:30. aurelia, just let us know. Profile addy goes to the blackberry, and I can send everyone my cell number if wanted.
Suzi, I'm so sorry I missed you and CJ in DC. I had already committed to a work event by the time I checked the thread. Just one more reason to get back to Denver....
Thanks for answering my questions! Yeah, I was thinking if prom shut down at 10, we'd need some place fun to go. But since it's now shutting down at midnight, hospitality suite should be fine.
I won't know if I can go until last minute, sadly. But I hope to. I've got a lot of unforseen expenses right now (need to see how much is going to be left for me to pay of my surgeries) and I also have no idea how my rehab will go. My colleague who had the same surgery said her shoulder was at about 60% use after two months. I also don't know what my P/T schedule will be.
But it sounds like everything that is being planned would be very enjoyable, so I am hoping to join you.
Chicago-istas, I would love to have dinner/drinks and whatever else we can come up with on Friday night.
I'm in for Friday! Provided I don't come down with yet another terrible virus. After 6 is better for me anyway. It'll give me time to hit the gym.
Any interest in hitting Goose Island before Budweiser takes over?
Actually, I really don't have a lot to do on Friday night, so I can stay out later. I don't have to be at O'Hare until 9:00 in the morning (I'm flying to my mom's in NJ), and I can throw stuff into the suitcase after I get back on Friday night and sleep on the plane if need be.
That could work, aurelia.
Yay!
So where do we meet?
Kathy, just let me know if you want to ride in together.
I definitely want to ride in with you! I'll just leave my car at the Hilton. Can you email my profile addy with your phone number? I'll call you when I get there--let me know what time you'll be available, because I'm flexible about leaving work.
