Chicago Spring 2007 Meet

[HopelessDFilms]

8 days too late to celebrate

Couldn't have had it on the 20th? Eh?

The 28th sounds great to me! Hopefully weather will be fantastic as well- which will of course help with the barbecuing.

I'm assuming everyone is going to bring some cd's and media that they are familiar with to audition on everyone elses setups? To hear the differences?

Now that a date is fairly well put together, I suppose the question is,


where are we going to be meeting? Burbs? City? Both? - I suppose the appropriate thing to try would be to approach this the same way as the date was..... XXXXXXXX ...... and just let it be set...?

The 28th it is!! Just need to hear from checkbit.

I would be willing to host, But I'm the furthest out from Chicago.
Just let me know.

But I'd also like the chance to listen to the
Summits once again.

I like the idea of hitting a couple of places time
permitting. One in the am and one in the pm.

Wayne,

If you would like to take the AM I will take the PM. We are both fairly west albeit you are much further south than me. How long do you think it will take to drive from your place to Wheaton?

 

[Joey_V]

Checkbit... where are you....?

BTW, guys.... did we decide where to meet up? Not sure if I skimmed the thread too quickly and I missed it.

Lunch or Dinner along with the listening session?

We should form a local ML club...

Up until 2 months ago I worked in Naperville, which is not to far from Wheaton.
It usually took me 45 minutes to an hour to get there.

 

[Burke]

Lunch or Dinner along with the listening session?

I have offered to fire up the BBQ grill, assuming that we would be in Wheaton in the afternoon.

Joliet - Wheaton

I have a friend who lives and works out here during the week and goes home on weekends to joliet... he says that it takes roughly an hour or so...without heavy traffic. Now for those of us who are speed demons, easily an hour.



And Joey, I meant no offense earlier about the pix... just thought I'd tackle something familiar to me, and let you veterans do what you do best, show off the logans! But I digress, maybe short video clips hosted on other sites could be a neat thing to show to the other non windy city members of what us chitowners have to offer?


A pic a buddy of mine played around with, das me behind a 5D

No problem! All in good fun!

I think we need a push-pin map to better understand the location and distances we are talking about.

If those who want to attend the Chicago get together and, is willing to e-mail me their address or as close as you want to get the pushpin (ie city), I can start the map. Then I will e-mail it to everyone. I will not post names on the map just pins so we can all get a better understanding of location. [email protected] Is this a good idea?

 

[Cherian]

This is what I have so far. As more people report in I will update the map and post here.

 

[checkbit]

Sorry guys I dont think I will be able to make it on the 28th. I will be getting back into town that afternoon from a trip and Im sure I will be very tired. However, keep me in the loop as far as plans go and if I feel up to it I would like to stop by and meet everyone.

Looks like I'm way out there compared to everyone else. What if we started downtown since 3 of you live there, then head to Burke's place since he's volunteered to BBQ.

Would give me a chance to listen to two Summit systems in one day.
Definately worth taking the day off for.

I could always host a get together in the fall.
Who knows maybe by then I'd have a pair of my own Summits.
Or maybe a pair of CLXs.

 

[Cherian]

Sounds like a good plan to me. Start out in the loop and make our way west.

 

[Burke]

Good plan, I'm in.

My house is walking distance (about 1/2 mile) from the Wheaton Metra train station, in case anyone does not want to drive from downtown.

Not my place... I'm too poorly equipped!!
