Chicago area GTG and gem show on May 26th?

[Dee*Jay]

Hey kids, it''s that time again! Anyone up for a little GTG and adventure out to the gem show on the 26th in Rosemont? We could do it like we have the past two times--lunch first then go to the show--or any other ideas are most welcome.

When you''re thinking about this BTW don''t foget that it''s the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend...

 

[Regular Guy]

sorry to miss it.

btw...heard or seen Perry lately?

 

[Dee*Jay]

Ira, now that you mentino it I haven''t heard a peep out of Perry for quite some time now. Hmmm.... wonder what mischief he''s up to!

 

[neatfreak]

Ohhhh that sounds like fun! Maybe I''ll drive down from Wisconsin if you get a group together to go...

 

[Dee*Jay]

Neatfreak, that would be great! Last time, which was in December, we had 5 PSers, and the more the merrier!

 

[neatfreak]

Keep me updated! I''m in Madison, so it''s not too bad of a drive. And who can say no to a gem show?

 

[jas]

Let me make sure that my inlaws are not planning on dedicating a brass-plated toilet to an art gallery or something like that during that weekend -- I couldn''t make it last time and would love to finally meet everyone!

 

[monarch64]

I''m definitely interested! I should be feeling up to par by then (I had surgery a little over a week ago), and would love to come out and explore the endless aisles of bling again, December was so much fun! I think DH is OOT that day for golf so it won''t be too hard for me to get away for the afternoon. So count me in unless something comes up!

BTW, haven''t heard from Perry here for a few months now...hopefully he will chime in, he was a fun contributor last time!

 

[monarch64]

Oh and can we find a better restaurant nearby with a better parking situation, LOL!

 

[akw94]

Oooh, I might be able to make this one. What restaurant did you choose last time?
Do they have reasonably priced stuff there too, like maybe I could find unique bridesmaid gifts??

 

[Dee*Jay]

jas, if your in-laws ARE dedicating a brass plated toilet to an art gallery tell them it HAS to involve some sort of bling. Perhps a danburiet crusted flusher or something!

Monnie, a better restaurant?!? You mean you didn''t ENJOY that experience? As for a different parking situation--how could you??? I though you ENJOYED our drive around the parking lot!

Dixie, the restaurant we went to last time is not one we''re ever going to again, LOL. And there is PLENTY of stuff to choose from--maybe some semi precious earrings or pendants for the BMs?

 

[Harriet]

Have fun, everyone!

 

[Dee*Jay]

Harriet, come join us!!! It''s a quick cheap flight away and I''ll even pick you up at the airport!

 

[Harriet]

Tempting, but you might be an axe-murderer, remember?

 

[Dee*Jay]

Oh THAT'S right -- thanks for reminding me Harriet! I am almost CERTAINLY an axe-murder, or an axe murderer in training at the very least!


(For anyone who has no idea what thread we are referring to, let me assure you I am most DEFINITELY NOT an axe murder, LOL!)

 

[Harriet]

We really should have a general PS get-together.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Seriously! We could get in so much trouble (in a good way, of course)!

 

[Harriet]

Just the 2 of us could cause trouble.

 

[Dee*Jay]

COULD?!? Most certainly WOULD!?!

 

[Harriet]

Come to NY sometime!

 

[strmrdr]

not going too be able too make it :{

ROFL! Can we just find a restaurant/parking area which allows us to eat non-cafeteria style and enjoy each other''s company and bling without worrying over parking? LOL!!! I loved the shenanigans last time but seriosuly, there has to be something better over in Rosemont land, hee hee. I would even opt for a chain restaurant, seriously...

DeeJay is the farthest thing from an axe murderer any of you could ever imagine, trust me.

She''s just another one of those crazy women who loves bling and it shows, lol!!!!

Thanks for the ringing endorsement Monnie!

And yes, we will find a different restaurant. There is a Harry Carrey''s very close to the convention center that Catmom and Blenheim and I met at for the fall show last year. It was a nice place with decent food (that we didn''t have to deliver to our table by ourselves, LOL) and maybe we could try that again.

I don''t know if this link will work since it''s so darned long but it''s from www.metromix.com. Once you go there, go to Restaurants and you can search for restaurants in Rosemont. This link is what it came up with. There are a few in hotels and a couple of others listed.

Maybe it will help.

DJ and Monarch, thanks! I''ve always wanted to go to a gem show and now I have an even better reason. I''m not 100% sure I can make it but I think so.

Oh, and we''re to just take your word on that?

*raises eyebrow*

 

[Harriet]

Well Ellen, if we don''t hear from you for a while ...

 

[Ellen]

*laughing*

Yeah, you''ll know who to look up. Or, will you.....

 

[Harriet]

Dee Jay,
I''m sorry I revived this whole thing, especially after you were kind enough to offer to pick me up at O''Hare.
