Illinois Meet #2
I've sent mine out via email to those I can.
Grill is a Weber 22" Grill, if someone has a Smokey Joe as well that would be good. The chicken has to cook for about 1.5 hours, but I could probably push that to 1:10 if I really heat up the coals. Weather permitting, my wife and daughter will be there as well. Come to think of it...I think I will cook the chickens the night before and just warm them up on the grill. That way we won't need a second grill. (The chicken tastes great this way too....no negative effect on flavor or tenderness!)
I will bring some plates, can someone bring plasticware (Go to Wendy's for lunch and take a bunch!) and napkins and cups?
I looked into the shelter and it's very expensive. Only like $35 to rent it, but you have to have a $1,000,000 liability insurance policy if you want to have a group outing (officially). I checked it out and the policy would be $95!!!! So.........we'll just commandier a shelter once we get there.
Dale said over at Yahoo that she was looking forward to this meet...let me tell you....she's not the only one!
See you all Saturday at 3:00p at Starbucks, Streets of Woodfield (not actually inside Woodfield but next to Galyan's Sports).

Visitors allowed?
Hey I was hoping to be in the area this weeked, i went to school down south of chicago but i am living in northern MI for now. I was wondering if you all would mind an out of state visitor to the pro gathering. I would love to see some of what you all have done and get some ideas on stuff I can do with my car.
I just had a really ******* shitty day. my car after work started having the check engine light flash and it kept switching from flashing to staying on steady. Also it is having problems going up large hills and accelerating after 50. So unless i can find somewhere to look at it i'm stuck. Problem is there is no where around here that works on mazda's and I don't know any place open late friday or at all satureday that will look at my car. I am still crossing my fingers and praying that i can find someone that can work on my car. if any of you have any ideas let me know.
Final details
I have the chicken ready to cook tomorrow night to bring on Saturday. I am bringing the grill for anyone who wants to cook something else.
I will try to be at Starbucks almost immediately after work (about 1:30pm -1:45pm. If you would like to show up early, please do! I think we'll wait about 30 to 45 mins then head over to Busse. In the event of inclement weather, I volunteer my house for the get together. I live about 10 mins away and there's plenty of street parking near my house to accomodate all attendees if needed. Weather report looks great though!!!
Call me on cell phone tomorrow after 5pm if any last minute needs.
Regards,
Pete
