I think I know who will be there, but be sure to check in with me if you have not let me know that you will be there.

It looks like we will have about 7 cars driving over together--candyman and mrs candyman will be joining us a bit later, so we will get set-up, and relax until they can join us--we may have to help bringing some of their stuff over, especially since they have a canopy and the grill.

Again, if anyone else can bring a canopy, please do, and if anyone can bring a grill, that would be great!

I think most people have checked in with me about food--check in if you need to.

and Glorfindel7 will get the cell phone list out tomorrow or Thursday.

And keep praying to the good weather gods!!!!!

Going to try and meet up with you all there again. Hopefully not get lost this year, lol!! :wench: :wench:

Don't know what town it is, but it is less than a mile south of the venue so it is an easy and quick caravan over, and it lets us get into the east lot fairly easily.

I'm pretty good with directions but Harlem is like 20 miles long... Chicago is so weird with these really long streets that goes for miles....

We will be stopping by both tailgates (Ellen and Matt) and can't wait to meet you all.

Cougars!? LOVE IT!

Band is starting at about 1pm.

Patrick Kane is rumored to be showing up with "The Cup". Who better that the Balckhawks biggest boozer at a Buffett show. I need to get a note to this guy about our 700+ Jello Shots, Deuling Tiki Beer bongs, and Cougars . . . I could use a larger stainless steel cup for Margaritas at the Parrot Dice Lounge.

I'd seen it mentioned but I thought to bring it up since it just surfaced in an email to me today. I still love the Irony of Too Drunk for TV Patrick Kane being the ambassador to bring it .. . .What a mess.

I talked with Dan earlier and it seems that we might still be looking for a grill for Saturday.

If by chance no one brings a grill, would you guys in interested in splitting a sandwich tray. Kris and I can order it tomorrow and pick it up before we meet Saturday am.

Please call or text and let me know. My number should be on the list. We are leaving Friday morning around 9 EST and I will not be getting on to check the board in the morning.
