Would anyone be down for a small meet in November sometime? Maybe around the Chicago area, go to a microbrewery or something for lunch? Just throwing it out there to see if there's any interest. I missed dub-dash and would like to do at least one more meet before the weather turns shitty.

We did a lunch meet at the RAM brewery last February, it was a good little meet. Would be in for one before Thanksgiving rolls around.

Definitely a couple good places up here that we could do a meet...but i dont think people from Chicago would want to travel north of the border.

After talking to that guy at the Volvo S60 event I wonder if we could get something setup there... i dont recall what his name was though.

The first weekend in November I'll be gone. But any of the weekends before Thanksgiving I am in for. Do we want to set a weekend so we're not sitting here while everyone says "whatever works for me"?

I'm sure wherever its at, Art and I will be there.

Goose Island isn't bad, they're pretty popular. But Revolution looks awesome. They look like they have some realllly good beers.

No, just a straw. This time we'll have to drive back same day, so we'll have to resist temptation to try all of those beers.

Well someone better find out (give them a call) if John can come. I think it should be fine. I mean last time at the brewery some of the guys (Doug?) weren't 21. Right?

it's a microbrewery restaurant. You don't have to be 21+ to eat there. You'll just have to stare at us while we're enjoying a beer and you're drinking milk is all. But seriously, it's the same as any other restaurant.

ahh okay im in then... i just wasnt sure if you guys planned to do a tour or something that I wouldn't be allowed on... well then in that case I should be there.

[gilber33]

I looked at Revolution's website some, and it doesn't look like there's any parking besides street parking. Do you guys still want to go there or find somewhere with a parking lot or something?
