Everyone is also welcome to stop by The Olive Mountain in Evanston... where i work... we have the best middle eastern food in the chicagoland area with reasonably priced lunch specials... if you guys are interested visit us at www.olivemountainrestaurant.com ... i'd be more than happy to reserve a nice big table for us all. Plus it would be on the way to the meet

I kinda don't like the thought of someone coming to the meet then leaving and not being there for a good 30 min.
Regardless of what we do with food, I'd REALLY like to take a drive down sheridan with everyone in the ravines. We did this last time at this location and it was a fuckin BLAST!

I say we all meet, hang out for an hour, wait for late people to show up...then take a drive to portillos, chill there (there is somewhat enough parking there or we can park across the street at Jewel...), then drive back and go thru ravines, go back to lagoon, snap few more pics and call it a day...

Tell me about it. I gained 10 lbs when I moved to Skokie in 2006 because I "discovered" Portillos.

I'm going to try to make it with my NSX, but all depends on fixing my issues with the clutch (going to bleed the fluid tomorrow, if that doesn't work... then most likely the slave is shot). I'll let you guys know.

I say we meet at lagoons and roll to the portillos once everyone gets there. Just my opinion...

Don't bring anything. Portillos has plenty of napkins and condiments for their burgers and hot dogs

hahaha... i think ur outnumbered by portillos fans.
i still say we call in the order and have someone go get it just so we all don't have to drive like 3 different places.

I might be in, but I'm totally confused on what the plan is. The info in the thread is kinda all over the place. Can someone post an up-to-date finalized details? I'll then update the first post in this thread.

Someone needs to make a descion and go with that. At this point we're wasting too much time asking for opinions. I normally would take charge but I'm on the fence due to being unsure of my availability.

FINAL PLANS For Meet On 7.6.08
fuck it... i'll just decide.
Here is the plan boys.
We are going to have the meet @ 2pm at the Skokie Lagoons. For directions, the parking lot is on the corner of Willow Rd and Cherry St in Winnetka, IL.
*DO NOT GOOGLE CHERRY ST IN WINNTEKA... there is another Cherry St in town. You need the intersection (other Cherry does not intersect with Willow Rd)
LINK TO MAP OF LOCATION FOR MEET
Food will NOT be provided by anyone, HOWEVER, some of us will be going to Portillo's at 1pm for lunch. If you'd like to join us, feel free. The Portillos is on Skokie Bvld in Skokie, IL go to www.portillos.com for an address for directions. After that the ones who go will then drive to the Skokie Lagoons and be there by 2pm.
Sorry, we tried to organize the food part but too many people want different things and then there is the money issue.
Maybe next meet we can go to Photo's (the hot dog place) in Mount Prospect where they have car nights during the summer.
Hope to see you all there.
I'll be PM this to everyone on the list too.

god this city's traffic gets worse and worse every time i come back (which is like once a month). I think we should be having our meets in Madison (or the outlying areas where I can do 85 on a road and not see anyone for 5 min).
