[Announcement] Chicago Halforumites, want to meet me?

[figmentPez]

I will most likely be making a trip to the Chicago area to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins this October (tentatively the 3rd - 8th-ish). I figure I might as well meet up with some of my internet friends while I'm in the area. Anyone want to meet up for a meal or something?

 

[LittleKagsin]

If only!!

I hope you have the best time. =^^= Eee, I'm so excited for you!

 

[HowDroll]

I'm not sure if I count as a Chicago Halforumite anymore, but I'm up there half the time anyway, so if I'm in town I'd be game.

BananaHands and Piotyr , you guys down for a HF meetup?

 

[PatrThom]

Hmm...there exists the opportunity, we will see what happens.

[BananaHands]

I'm always down for a meet n' greet. Let's hit up some cool bars around here.

 

[Piotyr]

Can do.

 

[Gusto]

Have fun!

 

[BananaHands]

MY BEARD SHOULD BE HERE BY THEN.

My problem is that Chicago is now about four and a half hours from my current location.

It's six hours from me. Suck it up

It's six hours from me. Suck it up

It's seven and a half hours for me. Expand a bit more and we've got a global meet'n'greet

 

[BananaHands]

I think all you mothafuckas should come out.

 

[jwhouk]

I did a check. From me to Giordano's downtown, it's four hours. At least, that's what Streets and Trips (optimistically) says. It obviously doesn't take into account the Tollway and Chicago freeway driving.

When are we doing a norcal meetup, guys.. we're looking bad now

 

[Tress]

You, me, Cheesy1 ... who else is around here?

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

You, me, Cheesy1 ... who else is around here?

What, Cheesy1 and I aren't enough? HOW DARE YOU

 

[Allen who is Quiet]

You're enough to make me sick!

From excitement at the prospect of meeting the two of you.

 

[Tress]

What, Cheesy1 and I aren't enough? HOW DARE YOU

No, the three of us are actually awesome. I just wondered if anyone else was close enough to bask in our glory.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

I know we have a handful socal people. California needs a Mid-cal meet-up, but unfortunately theres only fields and despair for about 300 miles.

 

[Tress]

Seriously, Fresno was one of the most depressing places I've ever seen in my life.[DOUBLEPOST=1346030366][/DOUBLEPOST]You know, we could try the coast. Monterey and SLO are pretty nice.

 

[Cheesy1]

And I am NOT meeting up with people in Bakersfield!

Edit: You think Fresno is bad, Tress? Bakersfield is even worse!

 

[Tress]

Edit: You think Fresno is bad, Tress? Bakersfield is even worse!

You know why I never realized that? Because like any sane person, I drive through Bakersfield as fast as possible on my way down to LA and/or Vegas.

 

[Cheesy1]

I had the unfortunate luck to have lived there for a year when I was 4. Just . . . dirt. Dirt, dead grass, and heat. That's it.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

Hey guys, lets all meet in Sacramento so I can take the bus, YEAHHHHHHHH![DOUBLEPOST=1346030884][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, Chicago can come too.

 

[PatrThom]

Hmm...there exists the opportunity, we will see what happens.

Signs point to no, but so long as the possibility exists, hope remains.
I will be visiting Kalamazoo Sept 6-10, could possibly swing the 3hr trip to Chicago if the cost of gas doesn't sink us. All depends on the next paycheck. I would put the current odds at about 30%.
