Halien Shindig 8/30 thru 9/2 Signup Sheet

[drommomma]

Ok Call me confused.. I see me for Sat. at your house.. You mean Sunday correct? I probably will come at 4:30 Sunday. IHOP is right around the block from my house if you are talking about the IHOP on Lake Cook Rd by Jewel. If we are not lazy we might show up. Not sure of the Parade. We are usually just a block or two from the END of the Parade right before it turns left. We seem to be able to find parking on the side streets. But get there at least an hr. before for a large group. If we decide to go I can text our location. Hubby who you met might join me. My son who has met Haley etc. was wondering if he might pop in on Sat?
I have a Eye appt. on Sat. before lunch. There might be a chance hubby and I might show our faces at Chins. Definitely will be at the Haley Concert as we go most years. Don't forget there are shuttle buses from the parking lots. Are you bringing blankets? I might have one. I will check. We bring chairs etc.. We will look for you all. BUG SPRAY a good idea. Sorry I cant officially commit to much. Hubby might have other ideas on how to spend the weekend as he is not a Halien (though he does enjoy MIDNIGHT!)

Swanny or Yanni? Are either of you willing to give 9 holes of golf a go? Coolnebguy (Tim) had something come up at work where he won't be able get to Wheeling until Lunch on Saturday therefore it's down to Buzz & a riding Mrs. Buzz & I. I have an extra set of clubs (my wife's) if anyone is game.

Are you guys up for the Seadog view of Chicago from Lake Michigan Friday Night? I'm pretty sure I can get a discount from my semi-bro-in-law's daughter who is reservations director for the Lakefront boats that her dad used to be part owner of.

Ok, you talked me into the golf. I'm up for whatever you have planned for Friday My Captain. I'll call you on the number on the map when we arrive Friday between Noon - 1pm?

Buzz - I just got this email because my internet was down when the Director of Entertainment Cruises Sales sent this and she won't be in tomorrow so we may have to pay full price which isn't too much anyway:

Hi Steve- Sounds like a blast. The architecture tours fill up the fastest. There is a 615 and 815 tomorrow. Both have good availability now. But they are very popular. There is a 7 pm and 8 pm speedboat ride which usually doesn't sell out. Then the extreme is my personal favorite does sell out if it is hot out (there is a 630 and 715). You will get wet but it is a fun ride. You can see pictures online. If you book today, I can do 50 percent off and you would just call our contact center with credit card. If not, we definitely have coupons. I have buy one get one free for architecture (I can leave them at the booth for you).
Let me know what you are thinking as I am out of the office tomorrow.
Thank you! Elizabeth

Whatever you all end up doing, have a great time!

And Himm2, what a great job of organizing!

[Tusk]

Awaiting to begin the last part of the "Trifecta"...how could we be on the verge of September already?

Thx Steve for all your efforts in this endeavor, above and beyond, indeed, Captain, my Captain

I get in at 7, will everyone be @ Gump's by 8? (address?)

We (Buzzx2 +Himm) will probably be on the Seadog on the Lakefront at 8. But I am getting a bit concerned about Buzz & Mrs. Buzz whereabouts. He said he'd call between 12 & 1 when they arrive in town. It's going on 2 and I haven't heard from them and I can't seem to find the message where he left his cell number.

The Westin campers will probably be having their own little get together as they arrive at their hotel tonight. Keep me posted.

Update, I found his number and he's stuck in heavy traffic and still 45 minutes away. I can just imagine the traffic going downtown as it's always brutal on a friday night.

... he's stuck in heavy traffic and still 45 minutes away. I can just imagine the traffic going downtown as it's always brutal on a friday night.

The heavy traffic is most likely due to everyone leaving work early because it's a holiday weekend.

Look at this traffic on #lakeshoredr #chicago

[Himm2]

The first arrival is finally here. We may make it downtown before the release of Haley's next album!

[Miguel]

I don't think I would want to do any driving in Chicago right now.

Chicago traffic sucks to O'Hare! Good thing I left early!

Kelly Davis ‏@KelleWoods 9m

Just checking out the Chicago suburb traffic. Doing a little stretch.

[NUG]

Blech...traffic. Hopefully it'll have died down by 9ish when Swan and I are headed out from the airport.

[My Alter Ego]

^^I hope that Tusk will get the opportunity to check into haleyfans.com before he leaves O'Hare airport (although perhaps the airline he traveling on is courteous enough to provide traffic updates, in addition to weather).
