Ladies and gents,

Jenzilla and I will be in your AO vicinity Naperville and Arlington Heights on the 21st of June. If there is sufficient interest and dining establishments are open by then, we'd like to meet you all.

What say you?

Hey Ben, that sounds great.  I met you briefly at the rally and after party but it would be cool to meet Jen and get to chat in a less hectic setting.  I can’t speak for the rest of the ILBB guys and gals but I’ll be free that day.  If restaurants are still closed we have a few members up around that part of the state that might be willing to host.  I’d be happy to host and my house is conducive to a good cookout, but I’m about 1.5-2 hours south of the Naperville area.

Hey, Ben, we'll work something out.   Looking forward to meeting you and Jenzilla in person.

That's right after Cola Warrior, but I'll see if I could make it work. You should come down south, it's a lot more fun down here ??

Flyover is in July, not June.  Now you have no excuse!

That's Father's Day. Guess I'll bring my kids, I'm in.


FWIW, even if dining establishments aren't open, hopefully we can make something work. Depending on where in Arlington Heights I'm about 30-40 minutes away and could host.


Edit- been a long day and I just read and fully comprehended the post. Yeah, Slarti and I are both in Naperville, we don't need no stinkin' restaurant. ;)

It's Father's Day, but I may be able to sneak out for a bit.

@bushmaster1
In what part of Illinois are you?  You should come hike with us some time.  We have hikes happening in the northern and central parts of the state pretty regularly.

Cool.  Our northern guys have been doing a lot of hikes.  We’re having one this Sunday in Lockport.  Check out the thread here in the HTF.  Post up if you have any questions.  Hope to see you at a hike sometime.

My dad used to live in Rochelle, not a horrible drive from here.

yeah, I think we have one or two other guys that have piped up in the original thread that are in the Rockford area. I need to go look and see specifically where.

But we have been wanting to set up a hike in far northern Illinois and maybe even a little west of Rockford. So I'm certainly up for planning something and getting to know you Bushmaster.

who knows, we might even be able to pull some guys from southern Wisconsin in with us which would be a blast to.

EDIT. meant to say southern Wisconsin.

I’d be game for anything along the I-39 corridor from the state line to I-80

Your a 45-60 mins from most of our little walks.  Each way.

edit - probably more like 60.
