Illinois Post-snow meetup anyone?

[yossarian123]

It's time for everyone to emerge from their winter burrows, drink coffee, and fondle cameras! Who's up for a meetup? I hear next weekend (02/23) is going to be pretty warm. Otherwise I can do the week after that.

I've been massively overworked and oversnowed, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

 

[MISH]

I will be working next weekend but might be available the weekend after that

 

[yossarian123]

bump, anyone else?

 

[marcr1230]

I can make it either weekend

 

[t.s.k.]

You speak as if the snow is over.
Methinks I'll be recovering until June

 

[jpa66]

Either weekend should work for me.

And it is supposed to get cold again. And with that will come the snow (again)...

Let's try next Sunday, March 2 to give everyone a chance to see it and plan
about 1:00 pm works for me. Any place is fine, if we want to stay in Lincoln Sq. we could try Garcia's and have a real Beer and Gear.

 

[yossarian123]

Beer sounds good to me. March 2 it is.

 

[jpa66]

I'm all for beer! And gear, as well! Although isn't Garcia's a Mexican restaurant? I know, I know - I should know this since it's my neighborhood, but I don't frequent bars like I used to!


There are lots of places to have a drink in LS, though, and I'm sure that none of the places will be too crowded on Sunday.

 

[jpa66]

There's always Huettenbar if we want a good German or Austrian beer. And a nice atmosphere!

Bump - Garcia's, 4760 N Lincoln, at 1:00 on Sunday - we can pub crawl afterwards

 

[SolaresLarrave]

On a Sunday? Let's see what my better half has scheduled for the weekend...

 

[yossarian123]

I've been cleared by the parole board. So I'm in.

 

[SolaresLarrave]

So have I! Now, it's Sunday at 1 PM at García's.

Too bad I don't have my M4 back, but I'll show up with one of my M5 bodies...

EDIT: BTW, Sam, that strap you sold me fits the M4 very nicely...

 

[marcr1230]

Bump - This Sunday 1:00 pm at Garcia's

 

[jpa66]

OK, I should be able to be there. I'll bring my newest tlr

 

[SolaresLarrave]

I may show up with my black M5 body... or my M4-2... or both!

Bumpo!

 

[SolaresLarrave]

Like Fagin in Oliver, the musical, I'm "reviewing the situation" because I have to drive over 60 miles to Lincoln Square. Chances are we're going (family will come, but will wander about).

Will keep you posted!

 

[marcr1230]

I'm live blogging the event now - at Garcia's , waiting on the gang
It's cold out - started Nikon month with frozen fingers and an S2 w 35/2.5

 

[jpa66]

I'm leaving home right now. Should be there in ten minutes.
