Evan Gatesman and Ben Skaggs

Both flights at O'Hare.

Arrival:
Dec. 26th, 2008
3:35pm US Airways 320

Departure:

A pick-up would be awesome, but we can totally take the train & bus if needed.

Hey, I have a pair of Quantum's 2 size 10,5 US white and gray for sale, so I was wondering that I could bring them if someone wants them. I used them once for 20 minutes, so new. 45 USD... Sorry to post it here, but it might be helpful for someone...

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 21 Dec 2008 06:53

If GF took names and kicked ass with his blades, I'd believe it, but Greg's a sweet guy who loves the frisbee and bag. I can't see him being the roundhouse kicking Walker, Texas Ranger.

Are there any locals who are willing to put me up for a night on the 29th? I have a 9am f(l)ight the next morning meaning that I'll have to leave ass-early, so I'd like to be as close to O'Hare and public transportation as possible. Even if it's not close, any place is better than no place.

As soon as I left your scene blew up- and I take full credit for that. You owe me, CIC, don't you forget it.

I am so excited to meet you guys finally!

I spoke to soon. Eric Siegel will not be attending due to family commitments. Sorry.

alright so now NYJ is a gametime decision. It will come down to work schedule/family schedule/money things. I would love to make it but it looks like it may not happen this year for me. If i don't make it everyone have fun, and if i do i'll arrive at o'hare someday and wander to the event site

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 21 Dec 2008 15:08

I really hope you can make it Henry.

Wasabi · Post by **Wasabi** » 21 Dec 2008 15:17

Do your best to make it, Henry. I'm only going to Chicago to see you, so you better be there. Sweetie.

Ok, I'm borrowing my sister's Pilot which hold 7+1 people comfortably, so I'll be able to pick people up from O'Hare. I'll talk to Reile and Eric Chang and we'll all probably only have to make one trip. If you guys can throw a few dollars for gas that will help.

I'm assuming everyone has posted their arrival time. Ken, you're going to Nathan's right? And Zac, I can scoop you and Jack up from Union Station on the way to the hotel.

Jack Stutler · Post by **Jack Stutler** » 21 Dec 2008 19:41

What ever works. I feel I have a decent enough working knowledge of the trains/busses to make it there on my own.

But if you're swinging by the station I won't object to a ride

C-Fan · Post by **C-Fan** » 21 Dec 2008 20:38

Yeah, Age and I are staying at Nathan's. If that doesn't work out well ride-wise we can take the train, but obviously we'd love a ride if it's viable.

Super-stoked to see you all on Friday!

Take the el train. Its fun Im serious, its like a rickety old rollercoaster 40 feet above the street and 3 inches from your window will be buildings as you speed by.

Jack Stutler · Post by **Jack Stutler** » 22 Dec 2008 05:22

Yeah, taking the train around Chicago is fun in it's own right, and I suggest you try it before you leave town.

That reminds me of Gotham City's subway system in the intro to "Batman Begins."

Sweet.
