4. ok, i can't do oct 6 or oct 12, or this coming weekend.

is the 29th too soon? what is your schedule when you come in? presuming 9 or 10 till 2 or 3, so a lunch time thing? do you take the metra in?

5. Where?

[mopinko]

7. good question

the only 2 things that come to mind are NOT downtown. one is my farm, the other is goose island at north and clybourn, which is my home away from home and where they will likely give us a room, and be very nice to us.

i don't eat downtown that often, and most places that i know are pretty small. but i will dig around if we have a lot of folks who are taking a train in.

eta- my 2 suggestions have plenty of free parking, downtown not so much. but if folks are mostly taking the train in......

10. Parkingwise

Goose Island would be your best bet, if you must go to the city. I'd be interested....I've never seen a fellow DUer in the wild.

11. and it is very accessible by train. there is a metra stop a short distance away, and

a red line stop a couple blocks away.
and like i said, they will be good to us.
