US Meet and Greet

[aaron]

Ok, I'm just throwing this out there. Would everyone be able to meet there at noon on Sunday? If not, post a time that's good for you and we'll figure something out.

I was thinking of driving up Saturday and driving back Sunday. Saturday would probably be better for those of us who have a few hours to drive and work on Monday.

 

[aaron]

What time would be best for you?

~Aaron

 

[aaron]

Because no one agrees with my suggested meeting times, I take it that this won't happen. If anyone cares to meet me personally, contact me and we can set something up. I'll be at the show all Sunday.

i was thinking of making a day trip out of it. me and the bf are going to go to the chicago transportation museum too... sunday at noon then?

 

[aaron]

Sure kaysie, we'll meet just inside the entrance at noon. I'll be wearing a wicker hat, grey shirt, and blue jeans and hopefully toting my new herps.

[kaysie]

now... where is this conference at? so i can get directions on how to get there... it looks like i'm going to be overnighting down there.

Rob, what are your views? if you wanna carpool with me and paul, we'd be happy to let you ride with us. email me, and i'll discuss it with you next weekend (as i'll be at pauls and able to get on yahoo).

so far its just us then? thats no fun.

Nate and I were planning on driving up Saturday. It would be cool if those of us that are driving and staying overnight can stay at the same place.

Hey All,

I'm back. Sorry about that. Yeah, if you want to carpool sure. I don't know how I'm going yet...a pair of friends of mine may be driving down and we would stay in a hotel while down there, or I may be going alone in which case I may bus or rent a car.

Let me know what's going on and I'll be in touch. I'm going to be there no matter what, and I hope to pick up some Ambystomas for my breeding projects. If anyone will have any available let me know.

Rob

 

[kaysie]

well, it doesnt look like i can get the days off work, sadly... but i'll keep trying.

 

[aaron]

Just wondering who will be there. I will be inside the main entrance at noon on Sunday. I will be wearing a wicker hat-easy to recognize. Probably blue jeans and a white or grey shirt. Also, I will have a name tag that says "Dennis Stewart." :-D

See you there,

~Aaron

 

[rob]

I will be arriving sometime on Saturday, staying the night, and going on Sunday as well. Anyone who is there on Saturday I should be able to meet them around 1pm at the main entrance. I'll be sure to head by on Sunday to look for Aaron too.

 

[aaron]

Rob, perhaps we could all get together for dinner. You, Dave Nash, Isaiah, myself, and anyone else who attends could go out somewhere on Saturday evening, leaving Sunday entirely for browsing.

Hi Aaron,

That sounds good with me. Hopefully my two friends are invited. Here is my hotel information: Sleep Inn in Tinley Park is 708-342-1700 reservation under Rob St. John for my room.

My friend here in Canada (not one of the two coming with me) recommended a place to eat in Chicago, so here is the information:
Fogo de Chao
661 North Lasalle Street
(312) 932-9330

It looks interesting to say the least, and he says it's quite good. Just tossing up the suggestion.

I will be leaving tomorrow morning around 6am to head there, and expect to be there by noon. I will be going right to the show at that point, and not checking in until later that night. After we check in dinner would be great, and then I think Isaiah would like to hit a pub for a bit.

If anyone needs to contact me please do so immediately as once I'm on the road there will be no way to contact me until I check into my hotel sometime tomorrow evening.
