Title: Chicagoland CH'ers.......VOTE
Post by woobie on Jan 10th, 2003, 8:40am
Just wondering....

Ramon and I and Rick and BoBW are gonna try to get together this May and go see a White Sox game....

Wondering if anyone would like to join us..

http://chicago.whitesox.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/cws/schedule/cws_schedule_calendar.jsp?m=5&y=2003&club_context=cws

Here's the link to the schedule for May..  we're gonna try to get a date that works for everyone...

We would really like to get this together.. the more the merrier, ya know!!!   Maybe if we can't have a convention here, we could atleast still get together.. even if it IS a silly White Sox game  (GO CUBS!!!)   :o

LOL

BTW -   the 14th and the 15th work for us.. (Ramon and I)  
or the 1st... or the 21st.

Hey.. and this isn't JUST for Chicagolanders.. if anyone's gonna be in the area around that time... come on over!

I think Thursdays are 50 cent beer night, aren't they??  (or is that Wrigley Field??)  

Someone correct me if I'm wrong!!  I could be.. (it's happened before!!)

I vote for Monday the 19th against Toronto-it's half price night 8).  Could you guys make it either of those days?

P. S.  What's "Wrigley Field"? ::)

Well shit if they are playin toronto I may just have to drive to Chicago to show all of you that the Jays aren't dead yet! LOL

Remember...only team ever to win 2 back to back world series....BLUE JAYS! :P  Go Joe Carter, Go Joe!

Cat

(just in case anyone missed those two series, my good man Carter made the home run that one the first game and the fly ball catch that won the second!)

Too bad after that they became their usual sucky team LOL

I would be up for driving down to see a game. Well to see the people anyway, the game would be an extra (not a big baseball fan).  Pick the date and post it, I'd try to make it.

Title: Re: Chicagoland CH'ers.......
Post by M.R. on Jan 10th, 2003, 8:58pm
get a tee time,too.... ;D

Sure, post it and I will let you know if I can go.  All depends on work.  Sounds great!

Post by Bob on Jan 11th, 2003, 12:32am
By the by, May is still a pretty cold month.  Think about it!  Beer will taste better when it's not so cold.  Not to fond of sitting and watching the Sox and wearing long undies!!!!

Post by rick on Jan 11th, 2003, 1:53am
Bob,

I'd much rather go in July to make good use of the showers in the outfield, but I'm planning on moving to California in June, so I won't be here.  

This will be my last hurrah seeing the boys for awhile, other then heading to Anaheim to support them on the road after I move.

Any Cali clusterheads want to hook up for Sox vs. Angels when I get there?

woobie,  

Just pick a date, time, location for meeting prior to the game, maybe the day before or a weekend game to help allow for traveling so we can all get a chance to have dinner, drinks what ever works. I for one would love the chance to meet with other CHer's there. Comming down from the tip of the mitt, there just isn't any fellow brothers or sisters from up here that I can get to know.  Count me in!!!!!

P.S.  The Tigers killed the game of baseball for me, So I'm looking for a new team anyway.


Playball!!!!!  bwags

Post by woobie on Jan 11th, 2003, 8:40am
HI!!

We HAVE to do it in May, cuz Rick's leavin   :-[

BUT... we can do it AGAIN.. WHENEVER!  Maybe even a CUBS game  (GO CUBS!!!) - or a Blackhawks game, or a Bulls game.. or even a Bears game.. LOL LOL  (Da Bears!  ::))  LMAO!  

This doesn't have to be the ONLY one we do.. this can just be the FIRST one... OK?

I'm gonna give it a couple more days to see if anyone else has any input.. (giving people some time.....)
Then, I will post what we come up with.. I know I'm not gonna be able to make EVERYONE happy... but I'm a trooper.. and I'm gonna try my dangdest!!  

A tee time??  what's that mean?? you want TEA with your dinner?  Should we all meet at a Chinese restaurant??  I don't understand!!!   ;D  

And.. Jonny... check yer PMs --

AND CATLIND... COME ON DOWN!!  (i'm gonna need another women to hang out with.. it's gonna be all MEN it seems..  ::))

Either of those days? Do you mean I can only choose 1/2 of the night? If so, I'll take the second half....I think that's the free part.
It is a Canadien opponent so it shouldn't cost any more than 50% to see it anyway....Pay for the Sox and get the Jays for free. (LOL, just kiddin Oh Canada....we DID send you Mr. Carter didn't we?)

I think that the later in the month the better. I agree that it can get COLD down there, especially a night game.

The 19th or 21st would be fine with me.
I'll be bringing a crew with me...You'll have at least one other woman (my wife always wanted to be the "other woman") there Tina.

Just a suggestion....If its a night game, we could all meet down at Navy Pier before hand...and if it's a day game.....(weekend?) then we could head to Navy Pier (or somewhere) afterwards.

If we do a fireworks night, I might have to schedule a psilocybin treatment ;-)

BTW, if we wait too deep into May, the Cubs will be out of the race and it'll be more difficult to get Sox tickets!

Pick a date and we'll be there!

Tee time is a time to start a game of golf.

Title: Re: Chicagoland CH'ers.......VOTE
Post by woobie on Jan 15th, 2003, 9:23am
Ramon and I don't golf...  :-[

We do, however, eat.  So, I thought dinner would be good.  

HOWEVER..  I am willing to go to a golf outing, but I know NOTHING of golf... someone else would have to arrange that one...don't know the good courses, dont know anything...

Karla.. are you in??  For a SOX game??  With us?  A woman??  woo hooo!!  are ya?

OK, if Rick doesn't have to work Sunday....I vote for Sunday and will pay for Rick as a going away present...(I owe him anyway)

After the game, I say we go to Navy Pier and hit any one of the restaurants there. They all have great food..the ribs are great and the live blues bands are great in the one place!
Don't like ribs...there's always..."Pepsi, no Coke. Cheeseburgers"

I can give you directions. Just made the same drive in November. Drove to Portland and flew home to Chi-town. Didn't need no stinking map either and this route goes through both Reno and Vegas!

Friend of mine is driving here from Vancouver Wa. in March...he might have room for ya!
BTW, Trailblazer fingers are confiscated at the border.

Well, BobW-
There's hope yet...'cause I can SURE get to Vegas- I can make that trip blindfolded....but people complained last time about my driving when I did that- imagine!
Problem is, once I get to Vegas.....I'm not inclined to move on.....once again, Chicago's out :'( :'(
NOW, if they move some GREAT casinos into Chicago- close to the stadium -I'M BAACK!!!
You guys have a great time....oh, and Bob- find a date- pity poor Woobie, or LUCKY Woobie!!
Ramon, BE VERY AFRAID- it's Girl Power!!!
