hoopsguy · 03-03-2006, 01:53 PM

In.

Will the yaks serve as food or will they be some form of entertainment?

JeeberD · 03-03-2006, 02:06 PM

Fly me up to Chi and I'm in...

Poli · 03-03-2006, 02:13 PM

Word.

Coffee Warlord · 03-03-2006, 02:55 PM

So...day that works for you freaks?

timmae · 03-03-2006, 02:59 PM

I may be in as well... depending on night and locale...

btw, I had to look up woodridge... is it the one by bollingbrook or the one by northbrook? Either way, it's a bit of a trek...

if there's cards involved I'm definately there..

dervack · 03-03-2006, 03:04 PM

It's near Naperville, Downers Grove, Willowbrook, and the like. I'm invited, even if I don't own FOF, right?

cubboyroy1826 · 03-03-2006, 03:16 PM

Id be in depending on the night.

Passacaglia · 03-03-2006, 03:19 PM

How about draft day?

Chubby · 03-03-2006, 03:23 PM

If it's the weekend pre-4th of July I'm in since I'll be in Chicago anyways (Dave concerts at Alpine July 1/2)

MrKordell · 03-03-2006, 03:46 PM

Are lurkers invited?

hoopsguy · 03-03-2006, 03:50 PM

NFL draft day + cards = excellent day for me (hopefully).

I hate mods.

that really should be 1.84+e05, iirc.

Coffee Warlord · 03-03-2006, 04:27 PM

Oooh. 5-10 dollar buy in poker night + draft day coverage on the plasma tv?

I'm in for it if I can get enough advance warning. And I live close too.

Coffee Warlord · 03-13-2006, 09:03 PM

I declare this official.

Draft Day 2006 will be held at the Casa De Coffee for all members & signifigant others of the FOFC (within limits - my place can't hold a TON of people).

I might even cook up one helluva dinner in exchange for everyone providing the alcohol.

As well as a poker game or two, we'll wing the details there.

Anthony · 03-13-2006, 09:07 PM

will there be nudity involved? i might fly up for group sex.

Coffee Warlord · 03-13-2006, 09:09 PM

Yes. I'll be stark ass nude the entire time.

Neuqua · 03-13-2006, 09:14 PM

I might make it.

Is anyone else actually going to bring their significant others?

hoopsguy · 03-13-2006, 09:28 PM

Probably not bringing the wife to a draft event, unless that is the format. Although she can watch a football game, I am not sure that I could subject her to the draft and poker without hearing about it for years.

Anthony · 03-13-2006, 09:54 PM

i don't believe you. give me a taste.

Barkeep49 · 03-13-2006, 09:57 PM

Coffee you're Woodridge? I feel sorry if ardent's going to this since he'll have even farther to driven then I would. Stupid question but what date is the draft? I'd love to do this and would need to take off of work to do so. Would especially love to play some cards.

Raven Hawk · 03-13-2006, 10:32 PM

I'd be game for that.

timmae · 03-14-2006, 12:31 PM

arghhh... already have draft day plans. Nothing like a few cajun venison brats, a few stogies and many fingers of whiskey... I'll catch the next gathering.

JeeberD · 03-14-2006, 12:32 PM

I wanna go...

I'm not really expecting anyone to bring signifigant others, but I figured I'd be nice and invite.

Single women, are of course, preferred.

Passacaglia · 03-15-2006, 02:55 PM

Sounds like lurker will be studying that weekend, so it's not likely she'll be able to make it. My exam is a few weeks later, so it won't be crunch time for me yet, and besides, I won't be missing draft coverage anyway!

Coffee Warlord · 03-15-2006, 03:07 PM

And to answer a question posed earlier. Yeah. Woodridge. Right off 53.

Poli · 03-15-2006, 03:23 PM

I may end up having duty during the draft weekend. I'm going to cross my fingers...but I seriously doubt I get around it.

BillyNYC · 03-16-2006, 12:15 AM

Does METRA head up that way and/or anyone coming from the City? Not sure if I'm even available that weekend yet.

Raven Hawk · 03-16-2006, 01:07 AM

Depending on what part of Woodridge that is, you could take the BNSF to Downer's Grove or Herritage Corridor to Lemont . . .

Nothing specifically in Woodridge, though.

www.metrarail.com

Coffee Warlord · 03-16-2006, 08:47 AM

Best metra route is the BNSF to the Belmont stop in Downers. (Not the Main St stop - downtown downers sucks).

I concur.

dervack · 03-16-2006, 01:30 PM

Dola,

And if you get off at the Belmont stop, you won't be that far from Woodridge at that point either.

Coffee Warlord · 04-19-2006, 07:46 PM

Bump.

This is still on, assuming there's interest.

JeeberD · 04-19-2006, 07:48 PM

I still want to come if you buy me a plane ticket.

hoopsguy · 04-19-2006, 07:52 PM

Still planning on being there.

Logan · 04-19-2006, 08:16 PM

Does anyone else find it really interesting to read threads that don't apply to you at all?

Logan · 04-19-2006, 08:17 PM

Dola...

Or am I the only non-Chicago person (and non-begging-for-a-plane-ticket person) who is reading this?

JeeberD · 04-19-2006, 08:18 PM

Dude...

Oh, wait.

Pick me up in Tulsa

Passacaglia · 04-19-2006, 08:42 PM

I'm in!

Passacaglia · 04-22-2006, 12:01 PM

This still going on? I can give a ride to whoever needs it.

What can I bring?

Coffee Warlord · 04-22-2006, 12:51 PM

This is still going on. I'll PM directions / phone number to those going soon.

As for what to bring....hmmm.

I'll have a decent supply of beer, and will likely whip up something simple. Burgers, most likely, or snackin' type food. So, if you want alternate beverages (or want to increase the beer stock), bring em, and some other mass quantity food wouldn't be a bad idea.
