How does the weekend of May 2nd, 3rd and 4th sound? It might actually be warm by then. ---

Damn it, **MissC** , I was going to start a thread. 😃 Our little **tiggeril** will finally be legal. We must celebrate. And I promised tigg I’d guard her against Bad People, unless she was cool with it. 🙂 I’m in. ---

Hmmmm…any chance we might have it earlier? Those of us who are still in school might be running into exams at that point… ---

Pencil me in for now. And it looks to be a quiet hotel weekend too. Once plans are underway, I can see about rates for rooms. ---

Sounds like fun. Of course, I don’t know what I’m doing a week from now, much less 1/2 a year, but I expect i’m in. ---

I’ll be on leave from work that weekend so, in theory, I could go. However, it’s _maternity_ leave. I don’t think it’d be best to go into labor in the middle of a ChiDope, although it **would** shake things up a bit… 😉 No, I doubt I’ll go. ---

I’ll be there, come hell, high water, or midterms. (No more sneaking into bars! Woo!) -tiggeril, who will be legal as of April 29, 2003 ---

Oh my, I’m excited! I’m going to be having a huge family reunion in Chicago April 28 - May 5. 10s of Italians will be converging on Chicago, as well as myself! Count me in! Yeah! (I’ve always wanted to attend a dopefest in the mother city). ---

**Kyla** , the train sounds fun _in theory_… Trust me, miles of Midwestern Scenery do not a fun trip make. 🙂 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/its-time-for-chidope-planning/145092.md?page=2)
