Is anyone going to set a time date and place? It's narrowed down to 14th or 15th Sept lunch or dinner in Chicagoland. I'm in.

I can definitely do dinner and could probably do lunch if it is in downtown Chicago. As for dinner, I could do anywhere in downtown Chicago or lakeview or Lincoln Park etc. I could do Evanston if it is in downtown Evanston or near the train. Arlington Heights etc are out of the question for me unless someone could pick me up and bring me home. But definitely best for me would be in Chicago proper.

fainagain - Does it matter to you if it's the 14th or 15th? I'd prefer Friday, but is that ok with you too? Also, would you be able to get to Evanston, you're right smack downtown?

SueHuml

I really think it should be downtown Chicago - that's easiest for most, and dinner on the 15th seems to be best for most. Suggestions for a venue?

Per the Houston GTG recommendation, I posted this on the Europe board too.

I stopped to read a few threads.
Wow - I think I'll stick to Asia. You guys rock!

Apologies, all, I'm not ignoring this thread - had computer problems.

Dinner on 15th work for me, I'll be in the Comfort Inn on Ohio at... Wabash? State? Not sure, sorry I'll do my best to get to the meeting place.

Vong sounds Good Gloria, my husband who will be coming too has heard it's real good. It's a Thai place right?

So are we all on for Dinner at Vong Sept 15th at 7:00PM?

Gloria are you a regular should we make reservations? Lets take names now.

Sue and dh Vince
Gloria
Who else?

glorialf

Yes, I'm a regular and I'd be happy to make a reservation once we have a count.

angethereader

We will be two or three. Getting a 21 year old to commit that far in the future is impossible.

Gloria you need to come to Houston for the HGT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FainaAgain

Is it OK with everybody if I join you? I don't post on this forum, so feel a little like an intruder

Good idea, it's coming up fast.
S, it's Vong on State and Hubbard at 7PM on Friday, September 15.
gloira - do we have a count, or maybe we can get one this week.

I'm so focused on my son coming home from Japan next week after nearly a year away that I haven't been paying attention to the GTG.

It's on my calendar too.
Add me (Sue) and my dh Vince

I'm having second thoughts about Vong because it can be pretty noisy on a Friday night although I love the restaurant.But then all the downtown restaurants are noisy on a friday night so let's leave it as is. I can request a corner table at least. Anyway, let's get a final count. I have:
Gloria - 1
Sue - 2
Angie - 2 or 3
Faina- 1

Anyone else?
