Dinner Saturday Aug 6th

I've made reservations at Giordano's for Saturday Aug 6th at 7pm. If you are interested in going, please post here as I need a head count so know how many tables we will need.

It's a short cab ride (or a really long walk) from the convention center.

Location

Currently going:
Jay and Mona
Blair

Bummer. I'll already be gone by then. Have fun!

Unfortunately I have obligations with the girlfriend's friends...the main reason for the trip!!! Have fun!!!!

Hi Jay,

Please count me in!

Also need to know if you are bringing a guest.

Damn, gotta head back to the Great White North one more time. Maybe next year. I hope all enjoy the National!

No guest for me - solo.

Hi Jay,

Just to confirm, this is the place:

9415 W. HIGGINS RD.
ROSEMONT, IL 60018

That would be it

Last call for those that want to go to dinner at Giordano's on Saturday night.

Just got to the hotel and settled in. Found out the hotel has shuttle to Giordano's. They said it is not problem shuttling everyone. So we will all meet here at the Aloft hotel and the shuttle will take us at 630.

Hi Jay,

Sounds great - and BTW, for those not staying at Aloft, you should be able to jump on the Aloft shuttle from the convention center to Aloft after the show tomorrow (usually shows up b/w 6:10 and 6:25).

Looking forward to it!

Cheers,
Blair

Here's the dinner group from Saturday night (Mona took the picture that's why she's not in it)



On the bench Phil Regli and myself (sabrjay).
back row: couple of friends of Phil's (I forget their names ) Blair (BosoxBlair), Ryan Christoph, Todd Schultz (nolemmings) and Alan (jewishcollector)

LOL..great pick of FC Motley Crew.

Nice! I've sat in that bench many of times waiting for the shuttle to pick me up...wish I could have made it.

We'll be having a dinner here in MN, so your get hang with some other FC people.

We don't have a date set yet, but anyone that happens to be in the area at the time is more than welcome to come.

Back row left end is Jon Richmond, jonstats on ebay. Good guy.

Damn...I wish I could have made it...I'll make the MN version for sure...looks like a smart group!

Pete you have no choice in the matter as to the MN dinner. Rowdy Lowdy is the guest of honor so we can't have that dinner without you.

good guy, horrible dresser.

Yes, he does really stick out among that group of finely attired gentlemen doesn't he?

Great pic, wish you were here-type. I hope all had a great time, and glad to see noone from this board was arrested.

Phil and I are old pros. We used to hang out in the 80s and never got arrested back then either.
