Chicago, hyenas!

Ok! I am booked and ready to go to CHICAGO! I will be staying June 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th and flying out on the afternoon of the 7th.

I am planning a get together on Saturday June 5th. [livejournal.com profile] jblaque, [livejournal.com profile] iron_chef_gein and [livejournal.com profile] ygrii_blop are already coming. I would hope that [livejournal.com profile] nurzrachet could be convinced to come as well. Anyone else in the area, please come! I'd love to meet you! Maybe [livejournal.com profile] toohipanna or [livejournal.com profile] deliverer or [livejournal.com profile] charon52 or [livejournal.com profile] nova_42 can make the drive.

And [livejournal.com profile] ygrii_blop please e-mail me or reply to my Facebook message because I need to work some details out with you.

I'm so excited! I'm going to go to the Art Institute, have some great food, meet some great friends and experience a new part of the country. I can't wait.

The most important thing to happen to Chicago since the 1968 Democratic Convention. But bloodier.

Where exactly in Chicago would this get together be taking place? Because I can look at packages through AARP (being old and dust-covered, you know) and probably get a decent hotel+flight package, arriving Friday pm, staying Sat, and going home Sun sometime.... dammit, I haven't gone anywhere fun in 2 years, I think I'm owed...

Where would you be staying? That would be cool to stay at the same hotel!! Or cheap motel or whatever...

Ah, the tragedy of no longer having the Lincoln "Sin Strip"

Memories of trips where we wound up at The Acres... The Stars was a dump too roach infested even for me.. i wonder if any women were ever infected with "something" from the towels in those places..

Hmmmm.... using Priceline, I can get a flight and 2 nights at the Travelodge for $554 total...

Add some for dining and what not, maybe I can swing it... I'll have to cogitate on this...
