Johnny wrote:OK guys... Plan on July 15th on the sunny shores of Chicago. I know this wasn't the popular vote but for the first time doing this it was the only place I could sell the idea to! It will be at Castaways on North Ave Beach. Plenty of drinks, sun, sand Volleyball and all that!

Next year different location!! The Buffettnews annual meeting begins July 15th! :pirate: 8) :D
Castaways is on North Avenue Beach, 1603 N. Lake Shore Drive - which seems to be around 14 miles from O'Hare Airport.

Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band is scheduled to play on Sat 7/15 from 1pm to 7pm.

You’re still grinning, we’re still winning, nothing left to say
I’m still gliding as I go flying down this endless wave

One thing I'm looking into, but don't have experience with, is finding discounted blocks of rooms at a nearby hotel so we can see eachother at breakfast in the morning. If anyone has done this and learned a thing or 2, please PM me with suggestions on getting started. Thank you!! :D
Hula Dancer and I will NOT be in attendance.
We will be in Edinburgh, Scotland that day.
