For all I know, it's the same one. It looks to be about the same spot on that map, Wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm still in... if we do it on the 17th, and its in the burbs, I will have to get from my burbs, back into the city, then out to the other burbs... just a time factor is all... Anybody interested in a Rush Street Pub Crawl? And Ben you are more than welcome to stay on my couch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beniowa Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 LP, thanks for the offer! Okay, my parents have expressed an interest in a trip to Chicago next month (a family tradition) so now I'm thinking of killing two birds with one stone. I'd be available in the evening to meet up so now problem there. The hotel would be out in the suburbs so a 'burb meet up would be easier for me though I'm sure I find a way to get downtown. We're still planning something for Friday night right? Any ideas as to times and how long you guys would like to stay out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of the Wineskin Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 So it turns out I'll be in NYC that weekend. Just as well, I'm too young for pubbing anyway. (Stoopid laws) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Pierre Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 OK, so I've made my flight plans to/from Orlando/Chicago between now and then so that I will be in Chicago for our BWB Weekend on 10/17. So make it happen folks! I'll pick the Elephant and Castle pubs... they have a lot of room... Now - which one? There is a [url="http://www.elephantcastle.com/content/locations/chicago_n_wabash_ave"]new location r[/url]ight in the loop-close to Clark/Lake where all the Trains converge-including the Red line and the Blue Lines. Plus it's an easy walk (or quick cab) from Ogilvie or Union Station if you are coming in on a Metra Train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beniowa Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 I'll be in town from Thursday until Saturday morning so Friday would work better for me. I still need to look into mass transit to see if I can find an easy way to get downtown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
