Anyone in Chicago, July 21-24?

I'll be there for one of my TV shows. Including over the weekend when I'll be free. Never been there. If anyone wants to get together or drinks or something to eat, let me know.

I can see it now..
bunch of birds sitting around hoping that the other is packin..
then somebody drops a plate..
feather's everywhere..
Hugh dives under the table...mumbling something about taxes..
and not being paid enough for this crap..
Lee whips out his drop piece.. ....
Odd Job sneers and produces a mini Gatling from his briefcase...
and it's showtime..
Sorry Hugh..
I'm gonna have to pass..

I'll let you know when I figure out where I'll be staying. Still don't know my schedule. Maybe we can grab a beer on your way home.

See post #6. Stay out of Chicago unless you want to get shot. Stumble slightly east of Oak Park and you'll be in the thick of it.

That is just BS........... Oak Park can get gamey. Hugh - I'm up for dinner and/or drinks. I will leave it up to you. since you have never been in the city, we can meet on Mich ave, go for pizza, steak or anything you fancy. I wil even pick you. I love showing off my city! Don't believe the hype!

No worries. Chicago has strict gun control laws in place to protect you. What could possibly go wrong?

Have fun!
