We could go to Springer.

I think Jerry Springer would be more appropriate :D He's still in Chi town ain't he?

yeah.. actually.. as of right now.. im talkin to a few people.. but you can feel free to offer up ideas on what exactly to do... easiest way to get ahold of me is AIM - TALLB1LL or email - volball36@hotmail.com

There is an espnzone in chicago... whatever we do.. it might involve an overnight somewhere.. or u might have to fend for yerself.. maybe even two days of action... im personally free that whole weekend... so as exact ideas come in, we can really create a plan of what we're doin...

and.. remember.. the more people we get.. the bigger stuff we can do :D

Theres a gameworks ? down there somewhere too i think... i've been to two espnzones.. and quite frankly.. i think they are a bit costly for what they are... but hey.. whatever! :D also... once when i went.. everyone had to be 18... so that might limit who gets in
 

Ill go if squirrelman goes. And since you know him, and he knows me...bah, just gimmie some times and dates and stuff. I think thats my graduation weekend.

Yeah, the D&B is 21 and up after 9pm I believe. So, that may be a problem for some. There's a similar place in Schaumberg, I forget the name, but that may not have the age restrictions. I'll have to check on the name...

EDIT: That's a "GameWorks" on Schaumberg. But that alos has the age restriction after 9pm.

I'm in Chicago, but I'll still be in school.... I'll make it if I can.

<--prolly studying for finals that whole weekend

besides ESPNzone, there's also DisneyQuest. I know it sounds retarded, but I swear to God it's really fun.

Also, Giordano's (or Uno, or Due) is a must-eat. :D

Heh.... well, I commute daily in my personal SR-71. I land at Miegs Field on the lake.

Actually, I only have classes on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so it's not that bad. ;)

If it was any closer to Kansas City, I'd be there, but that's a ten hour drive (at the least) from KC. Besides, I already have to make that drive in the middle of July for my cousin's wedding, and I have no desire to drive to Chicago twice in two months... :(

I'm going to be in Chicago June 1st and 2nd, but we're going to be pretty busy :( I'm barely going to have time to check out the blues festival at Grant Park, I might be able to stop by and say hi and chat for a few minutes, but that's probably it. BTW, I can't come if it is an 18+ place, I'm 14 :)
