Been "out of touch" for a while, wondered if there were any plans in the making for another get together locally? I know the holidays are usually rough, but, thought maybe some MM'ers might get together for an evening type thing or a Sunday? Just curious..... :beer:

I talked to Slowpoke about this in a chat session once. I was hoping to set something up towards Chicago's Northwest side. I'm sure the wife and I will be in Chicago one of the December weekends to do some x-mas shopping.

We usually stop at the IKEA and then go downtown to Michigan Ave. I'm up for anything. Got my winter tire set mounted and I am ready to rock'n'roll!

We missed you Lynn! Glad to see you are back. Is the MM in "winter storage" yet?

Not til the snow flies, then she'll be out of commission on jackstands in the garage. I'll check back once in a while on this one...interesting to see what happens.

How about (and I know what Slowpoke is going to say) Dec 26th? We could meet up at Hooters in Schaumburg!

I'd like to come over to Chicago when you have a meet soon. Has to be during the vacation time and clean roads because I don't drive it in snow and salt. Hopefully before full winter sets in!

Cheers!!

We could meet at EXIT. It's near North ave and the Kennedy expy. There is a parking lot next door that we could use. just remember how we froze at the crown vic meet in Plainfield. Maybe in the spring? I still bring my car to work when it's dry outside and don't have to haul anything.

If not Dec 26th, then how about the 30th?

How about Sunday, the 28th? Your cars can sit outside, keeping each other company, trading oil stories, while we do the same inside, where it's nice and warm!!! Doesn't matter what we do, as long as I get to see my Peeps!

Okay y'all, time to get busy here and show The Bunny some Chicago style hospitality! She'll be in town the week after Xmas, and there's no reason why we can't get together at least once in this week. There's a few ideas floating around already, but let's start calling our MM friends and giving them an elbow to check in here? Ideas...

Bunny and I thought about a day at the Museum of Science and Industry, and this could be a lot of fun for the whole family. Check out the MSI for a few hours (you'll never see it all) then head somewhere for some great Chicago pizza.

Another great idea, is Joey's birthday bash. I don't think the 26th will work for most of us, but the 30th sounds inviting. Instead of Hooters, I suggest the Medeval (sp) Times thingy?

Come on now, get on this. She'll be here before ya know it. More ideas, please. More club member, PLEASE!

I'll throw this out there: Either Sunday the 28th or New Years Day, we could meet at my bar (off 90 94 and North Ave) park in the lot next door, Show some Marauder related video's or DVD's, watch the Bears game, order foor, make sandwiches, maybe a little catering, smoke some cigars...... Drinks will be on me. Any time is good, afternoon 2 or 3, evening 6, 7, 8, whatever.... What do you guys think? Everyone has to be over 21 though because of my license.

Museum on Sunday sounds good for my family. Bunny lady will be with me that day and we'll bring her in to town. Not sure about the rest of the time, supposed to go dirt biking in IOWA New Years Eve and New Years Day...but, I'll keep watching this thread for more ideas you bet!!!

I throw a New Years Eve party every year with a band in the house and everything. I could make it the 28th for a day, but have to get home for my own party. I'd drive over the 27th and meet everyone on the 28th.

Now, if you all pick New Years, then I will have to wish you all a Happy New Year from here! :D

Oh, and you can consider this an invite for the members here to my new years eve party!


So, someone must set a firm date for this soon!


Cheers

i haven't logged on for a week or so..... an afternoon at EXIT sounds great! Can I bring Jett? he's only 7 months old - would that mess up your license?

Ok, I have to work half a shift at the firehouse on the 27th, and then I don't go back until the 2nd of Jan. The 28th would work out well for me. Let me know.

Hope the museum happens on Sunday the 28th, Christmas time is family time for me. Bill and I might be able to sneak off for some adult fun on New Years Eve though....all depends on babysitting issues........would like to see some of you guys again even though my girl is in for her winter hibernation.

My offer still stands for Sunday the 28th at noon for the bears game. There is a parking lot next door. Drinks are on me and we can order pizza's or whatever else you want. An approximate head count would be nice a few days before. Hope for clear weather...... Address is 1315 W. North Ave. 1 block East of 90/94
