... I'm non-union so I didn't feel comfortable going. Worried about my kneecaps / health and safety.
LOL!
The unions around Chicago are a lot like the Mafia too. They control the construction that goes on and the pay-offs are unbelievable.
I sneak in and out literally under the cover of darkness... Ny the time they figure out I was there, my job is done.

Isn't that just "The Chicago Way"? Kickback central. We have a town or two like that. One of them is Canberra.
You're not exactly filling me with confidence about coming to Chicago...

I agree, in the early summer during the Taste of Chicago, it is one of the most beautiful downtown cities. They have done a great job fixing it up. We were there for my wifes CLE and stayed at a hotel right on the river, back side of hotel is virtually over looking it.
The female russian bartender made the best dirty matrini's I have ever had.

Got a reasonable hotel on E Ohio, I think, not far from the pier. Can't wait.
Still ICRI can't tell us where the course is!
RE: ICRI in Chicago - CC Solutions - 04-25-2012 04:22 PM
Ohio is a great location... How much is the hotel?? Under $150 a night?
RE: ICRI in Chicago - Rubensgt40 - 04-25-2012 05:15 PM
You betcha JD - $120- ish p/n. It's just around the corner from my boss's favourite pub- Timmy O'Tooles. I hear it's a downstairs drinkery, so I expect to see Ted Danson and Shelley Long there.

I haven't signed up for the class yet, but I'm definitely signed up for the drinking afterwards...

Well Chicago is nice, more so without jetlag!
Although I know nobody here, I've scored 3 tix to a Cubs game (don't ask!) If anyone who's at ICRI wants to go, let me know!

How in the world did you get Cubs tickets???
Sorry I haven't connected with you yet Pat, I tried to call and got a message that your number isn't accepting calls at this time. I will try again tonight... When you called the number came up on my phone with an extra digit! The last 4 numbers came up as 5 numbers
14687 is what shows on my phone... So something is wrong there... I am running a Bobcat all day today and then working Monday and Tuesday, but I'll figure something out and meet up with you later this week.
