So - who is ready for a QZ meet up coinciding with Paul, Brian & Roger breezing into Chi-town on or about March 23rd?? A month or so ago in the "pizza topic" in the personal section, a suggestion I made to meet up for Chicago style pizza received some tentative positive response. Of course ... another idea might be better ... Comments please from those who might be interested ... |
| Tiff-a-NY 17.02.2006 01:02 |

| aaronh76 17.02.2006 17:07 |
sure sound like fun. let me know where. |
| Michael Allred 17.02.2006 21:24 |
Well I'm going to the Chicago show....open to ideas. |
| Saint Jiub 17.02.2006 23:12 |
I was considering meeting at Giordano's stuffed pizza in Rosemont or Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza in Elk Grove Village. Other ideas are welcome too ... |

I slightly prefer Lou Malnati's over Giordano's. Lou's has a better sauce, but Gio's has a tastier Cheese blend. Both pizzas have an excellent crust that is unusually crispy for a deep dish pizza. |

| Saint Jiub 22.02.2006 00:05 |
Lou Malnati's is 6 miles west of All State Arena at 1050 E Higgins Rd (also known as IL Rte 72), Elk Grove Village, IL. Giordano's is 1.25 miles east of All State Arena at 9415 W Higgins Rd (also known as IL Rte 72), Rosemont, IL |

I'll be there..if I don't get lost first..:-) |

I am thinking Giordano's at 5:00PM before the concert (also in Rosemont). Who is planning to be meet at Giordano's? |
| RedSpecial1979 07.03.2006 14:50 |
I'm in! |
| Saint Jiub 09.03.2006 22:19 |
Bump - who else is still interested? You can e-mail me if you like. |

| Saint Jiub 10.03.2006 22:27 |
OK - Four people so far (Pieter, Erin, Red Special and myself). Who else is with us? What about some of the people who expressed tentive interest earlier in the thread? Like ... Tiff-a-NY, aaronh76, Michael Allred, KRKillerQueen, and Compliance Queen? For planning purposes, please, pretty please. indicate if you plan on being there. |
| Saint Jiub 12.03.2006 10:53 |
bump |
| Saint Jiub 12.03.2006 21:29 |
And then there were 5 ... Add Queen T to the pizza party ... |
| aaronh76 13.03.2006 19:09 |
hey all, count me in as well, there will be two of us. cant wait to meet everyone......11 more days!!!! |
| Saint Jiub 13.03.2006 22:02 |
Glad to hear it ... up to 7 now |
| KRKillerQueen 14.03.2006 11:19 |
We will probably be there a bit later than 5pm - We're hitting the spa for facials and massages at 3:00 :-) so I'm guessing that with the nightmare Chicago traffic we'll be there closer to 6.... |
| Saint Jiub 15.03.2006 22:11 |
KRKillerQueen - how many of you will be there at Giordano's? I am trying to get a count and possbily make a reservation so that we are not scattered at 3 or more tables throughout the restaurant. Thanks |
| KRKillerQueen 17.03.2006 15:07 |
Just two of us :-) |
| Saint Jiub 18.03.2006 15:32 |
Mixed News ... I made a reservation for 9 people 4:30PM to be able to get a guaranteed reservation. I had just attempted to make a reservation, and Girodano's already has one reservation for 50 people at 5:15. .... I wonder .... LOL I know at least 3 of you might not be able to make it before 5:30. I apologize, but this other reservation for 50 puts a crimp in things. Please let me know if you still can make it, so that I can adjust the reservation if necessary. Sorry for the confusion. Please let me know and hope to see you there. Mike aka Rip Van Winkle |
| PieterMC 18.03.2006 17:40 |
We'll be there at 4:30. What name is the reservation under incase we get there first? |
| Saint Jiub 18.03.2006 18:25 |
Van |
| ljwelch 19.03.2006 13:53 |
anyone notice that Buddy Guys is closed that night due to a private party? hum.....I wonder why? ;) |
| Gr8 King Rat 20.03.2006 14:04 |
i'll be there with another group...but i dont think we'll get there earlier than 6:00. |
| Saint Jiub 20.03.2006 23:29 |

| Saint Jiub 20.03.2006 23:39 |
Queen T, aaronh76, and KRkillerqueen (and anyone else interested in the Giordano's 4:30 meet-up): Please let me know whether or not you can make it at 4:30PM. Given that Giordano's will be packed and tables will be in high demand, I think I should call Giordano's Wednesday evening and scale back the reservation from 9 down to 4 if no one else will be able to make it. Please let me know ... |
| KRKillerQueen 21.03.2006 13:21 |
Yeah, there's no way we'll make it in from the 'burbs by 4:30, so you can scratch us from the reservation. Thanks for working on it, though! |
| Erin 21.03.2006 14:56 |
Well, we'll still be there..:-) |
| aaronh76 21.03.2006 15:08 |
Well I will try to make it, by 4:30 ish but no promises. It all depends on traffic. I would like to meet up with you guys and gals though. Maybe if it is packed we can just meet up there and go from there? Let me know, Aaron |
| Saint Jiub 21.03.2006 22:19 |
Aaronh76 - Meeting later if traffic is really bad is a decent option ... |
| Gr8 King Rat 22.03.2006 12:26 |
my plan B is Barnaby's |
| Saint Jiub 22.03.2006 22:45 |
I should be on time at 4:30, but I am making a 9 hour detour to Oshkosh WI for work to help make sure an experiment is set up properly. It had to be done Thurday otherwise it could not be done for another two weeks or so. I leave at 6:30 AM so I should be OK as the weather will be good. I will call the restaurant on the off chance I am late. Remember, the reservation is under "Van". |
