Thoughts...suggestion!?!?!

You better watch yourself Michigan boy!!! I'm an Illinois resident now...
Anyway...the Indiana flag was a part of the original six flags over Margaritaville...we wasted away in Indy and now we're moving on and are ready to ruin Illinois!!!

I think its like $100 a night. email me or post back in this form and I'll get in touch with you.

there is very little 'grass' in front of the hotel....we set up on a spot that was basically an end cap to the row of parking spots last year on saturday an it worked out okay, it was a little small for too big of a group...its a big lot so it should be able to accomidate a lot of people...last year some tinley security people actually roamed the lot and let us know that the lot at tinley opened, about 3, and we were there 2 minutes later

Since I am now scheduled to be off work all day Thu and Fri, I will be there at the HI too. I invited a couple of Iowa people too (but probably no flag) that I have been E-talking to. They had asked where to go early Thu - the more the merrier.

Good to know Jiggs!!! Thanks! We might have to play it by ear, but from the looks of it, there might be 15-20 people gathering there before Tweeter opens....It's as good a spot as any to meet up!!!

it is a good spot to meet, and many people did stop by last year after being turned away from the parking lot. The saff at the HI didn't mind us being there...hopefully that will remain true this year. We also had 'late night' in the lot friday night while people were returning back to the hotel or just arriving...see ya there

Safe trip, 12lb. Hey, anybody know of any construction around Tinley? On Harlem Ave? Trying to avoid any, since there usually are traffic jams on the interstate that take up alot of time as it is. Thanks for any info!!

I gotta get my hands on an Ohio flag. I only have a really small one, so the Ohio flag my not be there...
We'll already be in town, so we'll probably check in as early as we can... You know you can never start a Buffett party too early... IUP and Gumby have my cell # so I'm planning to hear from you all when you get ready to meet up...
