BUS

CDP attendees-

As soon as we know more about the party attendance I'll look into a bus for a downtown group. In past years we've done 2 stops- one central downtown and one on the North side (because that's where I live).

If you want to go it alone it's possible, but a taxi is an expensive proposition to/from Otis'.

No sense in working on this now, I'll start a thread as the time draws nearer.


*******
Not looking good for next year either.

Ot- no problem, you know I got you covered. We all appreciate your generosity.

An FYI for anyone who will potentially be on the waiting list- last CDP there were a lot of cancellations, so I think it's safe to say the same thing will happen here. For example a couple of Bruins fans canceled at the last minute, typical of the type who can't handle pressure.

My post died. So, if this show up twice I apologize in advance.

Any recommendations on lodging? Usually when I visit Chicago (and on the company dime) I stay downtown or out in Arlington Heights. Any info is appreciated!

Just one more sip.

mlv-

I plan on bringing several stickers. It just wouldn't feel right drinking from a bottle that didn't have one. If it becomes annoying to others, I'll put one on my glass. Smile
