I just called and put in for 16- we need 75% to be present before they will seat.  Please be as close to 630 as you can, they advised there may be a slight delay but we are set.

I mean....its been a while...

Gauging the interest of doing a get together sometime in August or perhaps early September.  Not sure where everyone is located now, but buffalo wild wings always has a good beer selection and passable food.

Thinking about the B-dubbs in South Elgin, just a touch north of 64 on Randall Road.

As of now, just curious who would be interested in making the trek, and then we can work on a date via a poll.

DATE SET 9/20/19 Buffalo Wild Wings  402 Randall Rd, South Elgin, IL 60177 1830 HRS

9-18 update: Buffalo Wild Wings will not accept reservations, but advised I can call early and see if a table can be set up.  As of today, I'll be requesting a table for 15-16 on Friday and get there early if needed.

Attending:

Marksman14
Smartdrug
Remman
Loadeddrum
Slarti
Doorman +1
Sleepingbirddog
Nate7out
efxguy
handyandy
YoteSlayer69 +1
ericjbeasley

Have 3-4 "maybe" accounted for.

I do not remember how to spell it but there was a guy with a screen name something like Haynal.

There was an attorney who moved down to the Caribbean but may have come back. I think his name was Paul but I cannot think of his screen name.

August 17th is out for me.

Sounds like fun, I'm in if the date works. Early August or early September work for me. I think Facebook had a negative impact on the HTF.

LD, silascobb is who you are thinking of.

I sold some ammo to a good guy in the EE last month and was telling him how the HTF used to be.  I'll mention him as well.

Gentlemen, it’s good to see you

Again, many forum names I remember, but only a few I could recall the specific spelling.  Let’s keep this going and spread the word.

Thinking early September as of now.

He lives in Iowa. He probably can't make the trip back, but I'd love to see him again so I thought I'd tag him anyway.

Man theres some names in this thread I havnt seen in a long time. IIRC I only made it up to one Chicago area dinner in maybe 2009 or 10. Wow ten years ago! Dave got took us past a long line of people waiting to get in to a bar since he knew the bouncer, that felt pretty cool. I remember seeing a few familiar faces at that dinner from way back when we used to have HTF shoots at the Pit!

Ill tag in on this thread, if we're free that weekend who knows, maybe the wife and I will make a weekend out of it. We always talked about going to the Museum of SI to see the sub when we lived 3 hours away and never made it, so maybe now that we live 6 hours away. (Ames area)

Id love to have a class reunion and hear what the old Chi-crew have been up to in the 20-teens. I hope its been good to you all.

Where did buddah move to? Did Vic Mackey ghost arfcom after he became a boring suburban dad?

ETA: If you do this, it cant be snowing in northern Iowa yet.

Hey Kalahnikid !

Yea, I miss the pit shoots, the Pumpkin Shoots were the best at Buffalo!   Sadly, The state really hamstrung Buffalo and the pit is not what it used to be.  I remember Woodbutchers chilli!  It was great!

Damn, I remember that.

I know Drobs moved MO with his partner, and I haven't heard much since they got the farm going.

I'll be in AL and out of the country in mid/late Aug, but if there's something going on in Chicagoland outside my window, I'll ride down!
