I think I still have a lone maple leaf flag in my cellar. It makes me smile when it falls out from behind a bottle.

Cheers,

Actually, DoktaP was technically chiming in for me also, so it should be one each, unless he's bringing the fantastic Mrs. DoktaP also.

I'm unsure until I get my teaching schedule for August which should be in a few weeks.

If you are planning on staying near Otis, O'Hare is much closer. If you are planning on staying downtown, they are about the same.

This is going to be a blast...as always.

It'll be nice to say hello to my long-lost brother again!

Just be sure that class schedule works out!

Count me in!

Is anyone staying downtown and want to carpool or share a driver?

If there's still room, there will be one of us!

Otis- As always looking forward to this and adding any positive corruption I can. Are you sure you want to let R2D2 attend ? I thought he swore off wine...

Who said I swore off wine? I think I enjoyed the one glass of wine I drank in January.

Otis - Put me down as Longboarder +1 if there is still room.

Otis- Sounds like a great time! I would love to attend this if there is still room. MJAlbers +1.

I'm sure there will be a few people staying downtown and willing to share. In fact, at the last CDP, grossie arranged a mini-bus. Any plans along those lines CWM members?

O'Hare is about a 15-minute drive to my house in Northbrook.

A booze bus is a good idea if there are enough people interested. There are numerous transport companies in Chicago that can handle such a troop movement. Here's a website that lists a bunch of them. I've also used these guys for work events.

Other transportation options from downtown include taxi (will cost roughly $50 - $60) or Metra commuter train. Our house is a 4-minute cab ride from the Northbrook train station.

If you're on the bus, just don't let Baird hold your glass for you! Canadian guys, please apply the appropriate peer pressure to get him down here.

Cheers,

Otis

While I understand the point of a cellar diminishment party, as a point of etiquette, I would feel odd by not bringing a bottle. Should I assume that everyone will be bringing wine and we will all be throwing gas on the fire?

tangles:

No need to bring a bottle. I should have plenty open! But thanks for offering.

Cheers,

Otis

Hey! Where's my name??? Does this mean I'm not invited???

You might just find me there.

BirD

prolly in for at least 1, let me run it by my better half.

The Birds are flocking in!

I'll be downtown (Lincoln Park, I think) and would love to get in line for some type of ride sharing programs for others who are also down there.

Consider me a candidate for the intoxicated ride share program.

I'll volunteer to organize the shuttle.

Otis, do you mind e-mailing me at kevinklym1@gmail.com so I can get your address to get a quote from the companies you listed?

Anyone else interested in the shuttle, e-mail me and I'll put you on the list. I'll start a seperate thread on this eventually.

I'll be seeing Baird at the Italian offline and strongly encourage his attendance. He certainly provided great entertainment on the trip home and then for some time after. Watching him eat a Big Mac when he couldn't remember his name was priceless.

Ooooooooo! Indybob + 1, por favor.

Would love to be in for 2 if there's still room.

Don't forget Carriedca for breakfast entertainment.
