Looking forward to seeing you too! Can't believe all these BNers will be in the same row!

I emailed the Holiday Inn to see what the latest was regarding the tailgate there...
Good Afternoon:

Actually, the event at the Convention Center was cancelled. Since they're opening the gates earlier at First Midwest, the Village of TP has all of its resources allocated.

Sorry!

So...anyone got any ideas?

yeah, I remember commenting that those of us in Y were cool, but you were clearly cooler since you were much closer than us.

Larry got my ticket for me, so not only is he a "H.O.G.," he is also a "C.O.G."

3 weeks tomorrow!!!

Can't wait to see everyone again (and meet some new pholks too).

Is there any plans for meeting up and tailgating like last year?

I'm assuming most everyone will be at the Holiday Inn, even though there is no official party there now?

Does anyone want to do the BBQ like last year? I still have the little charcoal grill I brought last year.

Finding something to do before the gates open is now a priority... Personally I think the gates open around 1:00PM (even though the announced time is 2:30PM)
But that said should we meet somewhere and caravan in?

We are up for whatever y'all want to do...

The holiday inn might be a good place to meet to caravan in from? It's about 2 miles away and would prob be a good place to gauge when the gates are gonna open.

Isn't there a strip mall directly across Harlem from the venue? That is a little closer and might make keeping the group together easier since we wouldn't be with all the rest of the traffic.

DARN!
I got a ticket to see Jake Sunday night in Highland Park. I'm not complaining about it, but I just found out the surviving original BEACH BOYS will be playing in Milwaukee that night.

Some change of plans *MAY* be in order.
