Halien Party - Chicago, Labor Day weekend, 8-31-13

[buzzenator]

Okay, so while I have spent the entire summer pouting because I am too broke to attend the Halien shindig Sugga, you have bravely endured your tribulations. May your rehab be swift and lasting and may your daughter's visit bring you comfort and joy...

Sweet C and Suggah, it breaks my Halien heart that you will not be with us for the big Shindig...there will be a collective shout out, a special Captain Dinkens yell, in your honor and for all the other missing HF.com members.

Sweet C just reminding you that you said you were much happier now without money ...a few extra Benjamins might add a little more joy though if you could make it next year (assuming Himm2 recovers from the first one).

And Suggah, the Buzz feels your pain. It took me a year to fully recover from the two roboknees I had installed...the only saving grace for me it was the year of Hales, 2011...nice too that you have a lot of vids to watch right now as you recover. Have a special time with your daughter!

Hey folks, I hope you'll have a TERRIFIC weekend! Sorry I won't be there. A few times I thought, hmm... (not Himm), maybe I should do this thing. But in the end I wound up with a plan I can't get out of anyway. Enjoy it! Tell us lots of great stories and take lots of pictures!
Bill

HIMM, you rock man! Looks like you've done an amazing job organizing this shindig! My request is for someone to video your backyard ball park and make sure the Haley mini putt with her accompanying songs when you sink the putt gets on it as well. I would love to see the full effect of your masterpiece

Gonna post this here since a lot of you are probably reading this thread.....I am out of my cast!!!! Got my boot today and the okay to start learning to walk again (after 4 months of #BedHell) I was so happy I cried! LOL I still wish I could be there for the "Shindig" but I got the worlds best consolation prize....my oldest daughter is coming to spend the four day weekend with her mama......I love Haley but this trumps all!!! Please put me first on the list for next years shindig

So happy that things are finally turning around for you Sugga! Good luck with your rehab and enjoy the time with your daughter. Like you. I sadly won't be able to make it to the Shindig but I hope everyone has a good time.

Now the temperature says 91 for Sunday and heres the unfair part....everywhere I look for the forecast says 90s for the weekend but 75 for monday! I really really hope the 70s, even 80s, will move into a day earlier. Still have a few days for the earth to change and make us happy

The good news HL4E is that the concerts are in 70 degree nighttime cool and my backyard is heavily shaded which is why I removed the swimming pool and needed a gas heater. If anyone will be playing Volleyball, I suggest bringing an extra dry shirt, as the detention basin is not shady.
Hey we made it thru mid 90's temp Lollapalooza and kept our cool. I also have two AC's running with Haley DVD's playing in 3 TV viewing rooms if it get's too uncomfortable outside.

1. They are wrong a lot about the weather in Chicago this far out with the forecast.
2. I just stepped outside and it is balmy but not unbearable (shorts and tank top weather) and the forecast is a about the same with winds right now and that always is a plus in the windy city .
3. We have not had rain and none if the forecast which means no mosquitos - always a plus!
4. It will be a great time so you will forget the weather even if it is slightly warm (having been to her home town parade at the track in the rain wearing my down coat , I would prefer this over that any day!!!

I'm bringing my handy dandy and functional souvenir from Lolla with me
