Chicago GTG in February!

I am planning a GTG for Chicago in the month of February.

My friends at James & Sons on Clybourn Ave. are willing to have us over and perhaps have some refreshments for us. Afterwards we would head to Goose Island Brewery (a block away from J&S) to have some drinks and food.

I would like to know who is interested in attending and let me know if February 18th or the 25th work better for all of you.

Thanks.

Due to the slow response about the GTG I am not sure whether we'll end up having it or not. I will confirm later today.

I just saw this GTG as well I could go on the 25th if that date is still a possibility. I have bought my Rolexes from James & Sons as well but go to the one in Orland Park, Il.!!!
Let me know what's decided.....

I dropped the ball on this one my friends. I apologize for not confirming that we won't be able to do the GTG tomorrow the 25th. I am working on dates with James and Sons but nothing clear yet. It might have to be for mid-March. I will keep you guys updated. My apologies!!!

Thanx for getting back to us and I know it's hard to coordinate all parties involved. Let us know if arrangements can be made in March!!!
