Like I mentioned to you earlier this year BRx8, my wife and I are making a trip around that time so it looks like we will see you there after all. Are there any twisties around Chicago or is it all four lanes?

This may be east meets west but it is still up north. What about the south? A more central location like Oklahoma City or as far north as Witchita, Kansas makes more sense. Although I don't think there's anything to do in Witchita!
The south shall rise again!

Dude, I live in the south. This thing went 2 or 3 months with no one making a decision.. Kari, Brx8 and Simplyblue have decided. We must heed thier wisdom! :D

I'll pick up morgan! BTW there is tons of stuff to do in Chicago. Millenium Park, Museums, Lake Michigan, LSD(Lake Shore Drive), the best pizza you will ever eat, Water Tower, Sears Tower, Buckingham Fountain, and Gingerman Raceway is only a few hours from the city(in Michigan)

You start off with this little ball and you roll it over thumbtacks, paper clips, grapes, etc. Before you know it, you're picking up pens, batteries, mice and tangerines. It just keeps going, soon you start rolling up people and cars and trees into this huge ball of stuff. It's really, really weird, but totally fun. Music is good too.

There is no frickin way I'm driving to Chicago! I think a trip taking 12 hours one way should be done only once in a year and I'd prefer saving that for DT (unless I can hitch a ride :D). Plus I like the idea of BRx8 being our chauffeur in Chicago :D
So far we've decided the city and the dates i.e. Memorial Day weekend of May 28th, 29th & 30th. Now I guess we need to decide on the itenary for those days.......and also we need a couple people take the lead on this, preferably Chicago residents cough BRx8 cough G8RBoy cough DMenac7 cough cough.......

You should also go ahead and see about getting vendors to contribute door prizes. Just have them send all the prizes to me for inspection first :D
There used to be a Karaoke bar on the Navy Pier.. If it's still there , you can go there and make the entire pier suffer with the soulful sounds of rx8 club members. :D

I think it's highly unfair that this thread was moved to the lounge as it is a serious thread about a meet. Im not sure where it would go since it isn't a regional meet. However, I don't think it belongs in the lounge.

I'm not organizing..
There's an 82.584% chance I will be going. It all depends on how I feel that week :D.
This wasn't a joke on Bryan. I told him to make the post, but he told me to do it. So I did !
We don't really have anyone organizing yet.. I am helping, as will Simplyblue, and hopefully a few of the IL people. Maybe it will be a committe thing!

I might be able to get us good rental rates if we need cars.. A friend of mine works at Alamo.
You don't really need a car. Just take the El.
