My sister-in-law is due sometime in May, so it’s possible I might be in Chicago around that time. Then again, even if I am, that’s no guarantee I’ll be able to make it, but who knows? ---

Well, we’re still waiting to hear from GL Wasteful, Terry, Mr. and Mrs. Rastahomie, Mr. and Mrs. elelle, and the waitress from the Spot about when they want to make the trip. DavidB and Flyp, you’re both driving up too. No arguing on this. If Unclebeer can make it all the way from Ohio, and Falc can get here from DC, you guys can spare the 3 hours to drive up from Spiffled. Any more input about where we’re going to meet? Also, I noticed that last time it seemed to be a lot easier when Flyp started emailing everyone to make the plans. Should someone do that for Chicago2000? * * * Everybody knows that Steve McGarrett only takes orders from the governor and God - and occassionally even they have trouble. ---

Hell, I’d email everyone, but I don’t live in Chicago, so don’t know what use I’d be in planning. _shrug_ Also, do we have a wekeend/place decided upon? I’d like to get plane/hotel reservations sooner rather than later. And I’ll second Valerie’s comments to Flyp and DavidB - if I’m flying out from DC, (and rumor has it Sassy may fly in from Cali!), you can drive three hours. * * * Winner, SDMB’s Biggest FEMALE Chat Addict (Happy, Jophiel?) “Only two things that’ll soothe my soul - cold beer and remote control.” ---

I forgot to mention that not only am I an Iowan born and raised, but a Hatfield. Is that gonna be a problem Unclebeer? JK Just keep me informed, and I will find a sitter for the heathens since this sounds like it’s gonna be a nite party. Mistress Kricket ---

Hey - can I get some recognition here for my 6-hour drive?? Valerie - whatever I can do in the way of planning, I will be happy to do. Let me know. ---

> [@](#): > > Valerie - whatever I can do in the way of planning, I will be happy to do. Let me know. Well, since Unclebeer started the thread, so let’s wait until he gets into work tomorrow. If he doesn’t want to do the planning 'cause he’s all the way in Ohio, we can figure all that out then 🙂 Oh Kricket, of course you’re welcome - anyone that wants to attend, just say the word!

Well, it’s Monday morning and here I am, as ordered. I think I should let someone who actually lives in Chicago do the planning. I don’t really know a damn thing about the Windy City, haveing only been there three or four times in the past 10 years. So, take it away kids and I’ll just keep adding my pointless observations. ---

Okay, okay, okay, I’m here already. Sounds ducky, just lemme know when & where. And this time, I think I’ll fly. Also, the waitress from The Spot will be coming. After much deep contemplation, and being the naturally submissive type, I decided to chuck it all and become her sex slave. So we’ll be the couple in leather, she’ll be holding the leash, I’ll be wearing it. Oh, and I’ll also be wearing my beret, just to help ascertain who’s who. Waste Flick Lives! ---

Alright, I live in Chicago and I have a lot of free time. I guess I can start an email list and do some of the planning, but you other Chicagoans feel free to jump right in 🙂 So, first off, it’d be a HUGE help if everyone that’s thinking of attending could email me, especially w/ the weekends you’re able to come. Also, we need to decide where to go, so that’s where the other Chicagoans can really help out. We also have to consider hotels for the out-of-towners and proximity to whatever bar/restaurant we end up choosing. My email addy is [VBlaseC@aol.com](mailto:VBlaseC@aol.com). Am I forgetting anything? Probably, since I just woke up. * * * Everybody knows that Steve McGarrett only takes orders from the governor and God - and occassionally even they have trouble. ---

Okay, is anyone from Spiffled surprised that Valerie JUST woke up at 1 in the afternoon? Didn’t think so. I just had another thought. Who here knows the laws about renting cars? Because to get to the hotel, I’ll need one…but last I checked, they don’t rent to people under 25. * * * Winner, SDMB’s Biggest FEMALE Chat Addict (Happy, Jophiel?) “Only two things that’ll soothe my soul - cold beer and remote control.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chicago-dopers-again-or-i-miss-jophiel/15415.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chicago-dopers-again-or-i-miss-jophiel/15415.md?page=3)
