Kory, you da man. Thanks for finding that place for us. It looks pretty easy to get to, and Mapquest claims that it's only 24 minutes from my house (I don't think Mapquest has ever been to Chicago before). Anyway, that looks like it should work.

Tim and Arul: You might want to do a mapquest your ownselves to see what you think. It's right off I-90, not too much further than the forest preserves where we met before. Use this address:

1796 S. Elmhurst Rd, Mt. Prospect, IL

there is a slight chance that on that day i'll be moving to either north western indiana or the southern chicago area, we'll see. either way i'm going to try very hard to make it

okies .....it looks as if most of us are cool with the day and place, now how about the time the mgr. at mr beef says any time after 2pm would be best to ensure us getting a spot in the private room. Bye the way, there will be no charge for the room or use of the joint!(pretty cool of them!!!!!) cause they figure car types like food and will patronise them!
here is the link to the site for mr.beef.

really off topic but, this thread has had over 600 views!!!!!
whats everybody lookin at?
:p

2:00 works fine for me.

It seems to me, though, since this isn't quite as open-ended as a picnic, that we should all plan to arrive at about the same time. Am I right, Kory?

Arul--

Traffic might not be too bad, given that it's on a Sunday.

Hope to see you there.
