woot, we're gonna party. yah I said woot.

cardude007617 · 06-18-2007, 03:40 PM

so when is the track day at GLD?

lvemy3100 · 06-18-2007, 04:39 PM

as of right now I dont know that there are any dates set but if we use the GAP dates it the track day would be on friday the 20th iirc...

I am waiting for people to actually read and reply to my last post before we set any dates in stone or try to set up hotels

cardude007617 · 06-18-2007, 04:47 PM

well i wouldnt need a hotel cuz GLD is like 35mins away

Ajaxus · 06-18-2007, 08:08 PM

im down for everything you listed mark, and ignore my pm i sent you earlier...new stuff came up on their dates

lvemy3100 · 06-18-2007, 08:23 PM

well we need 2-3 (maybe more) people to be in charge of this.. I am guessing I will be one of them...

who else wants to help???

also I would like to state that I think the GAP '07 dates will work perfectly fine for this event

Ajaxus · 06-18-2007, 09:12 PM

boost21 · 06-18-2007, 10:29 PM

Iowagdam · 06-19-2007, 09:16 AM

Would love to come.... See more GA's and have some fun.

Lab Rat · 06-19-2007, 12:37 PM

Mark, it looks like you might be the official, unofficial leader on this. So I am volunteering too. Let me know what needs done or how I can help. You should still have my number but pm me or something if you can't contact me. BTW, you knew I would ask about my tune. Stay in touch.

Ajaxus · 06-19-2007, 01:48 PM

For possible events in the the city..the Cubs have home games over the period of this event (Whitesox have none...like they even matter

)

http://chicago.cubs.mlb.com/schedule...chc&m=7&y=2007

We probably can't buy a mass of tickets for obvious reasons, but from personal experience you can always buy some at the door or if you want to risk it from a scalper for a decent price..and closer to the game time means closer to face value.

It's just one option. There are also numerous restaurants in the region, including some that make killer Deep Dish Pizza..so if we have an evening open this would take up pretty much, all of it.

For those wondering how we'd get there, we can drive our cars into a burb and park our cars near a train station, Arlington Heights is a nice one good neighborhood not risky at all, and then ride the metro in.

I was born in Evanston and my Dad while he was finishing up his residency got a gig working at Wrigley taking care of the drunks from the bleachers session when they got alochol poisoning.

So you could say its in the blood.

(Besides, we're not corporate sellouts

"Wrigley" - You're the OG of corporate sellouts

Ajaxus · 06-19-2007, 02:37 PM

Wrigley Field cost $250,000 and was built in 1914 (equivalent to $5,198,725.00 today)

US Cellular began construction in 1989..cost $167 million

sell outs

lvemy3100 · 06-19-2007, 02:39 PM

bballr4567 · 06-19-2007, 03:09 PM

I wouldnt mind making the drive up to Chi Town. Not sure about the funds department though plus I might not be making it up there til around late friday night. Depends on if we have that day off or not.

Rich · 06-19-2007, 03:38 PM

would heading into the city be something worth doing saturday? i see its an hour away from where the cruise in is at. but i guess i dont really know what all there is to do around there.

it really depends on what you want to do.. I dont go to the city enough lately to know what all there is to do anymore so I will leave that to question to be ansered more by those who go there more...

I cant believe no one has posted in this thread for 2 days... come on guys/gals we need to step it up otherwise we are all gonna be standing around getting drunk at the lake... not that getting drunk by the lake isnt fun..

cardude007617 · 06-21-2007, 03:45 PM
