Also I am more than willing to do my part to get this up and running!!! Caroline and I cooresponded on "what next"...so maybe someone who know chicago can pick a good hotel..B&B or something and we can go from there :)...

Sounds great Neve! I just "invited" you. I am sure one of the 50 or so people who voted for Chicago will know something about the area. I don't know anything except what I read this weekend from a travel book! ;)

Thank you for starting the process!!!

Thanks so much to all of you who are planning this.

Here is a site that lists conventions -- a great place to research which weekends to avoid:

Could you send the link to us at flagger /at/ stayathomeparents.us

As we will be in Dallas, we were thinking of driving up depending on the weekend.

Thanks Bethany! One of the books I flipped through had a list like this, but only through May 2004, so this will be very helpful!

I just sent you all a link! Flagger- I accidentally sent you two- sorry! The name of the group is 2004 BBB Chicago...
ETA- Teddy- I don't have your email, and there is no email icon on your profile.
Also- if you just said contact you and send a link, I sent one through email through the boards.

Do you work at Jones Day? Not sure I spelled that correctly- my best friend works for that firm in D.C.!

FYI, you can add 10 people directly each day. Or you can just e-mail an invite to join. Or you can post the link so that folks can ask to join.

My e-mail address is XXX .

Thanks Beth! I wasn't sure it was ok to post the link. I've just been emailing invites, and I had a feeling it wasn't the most efficient way to do it.

Trish -

I just applied to join the group, JIC we can make it to Chicago! FWIW, you are probably going to see a BUNCH of email addresses you don't know/recognize from BBB! Sorry!

The group has restricted membership in order to keep out advertisers/spam, etc., so once you request membership, it will be approved. It is helpful to have your bbb name, so I know. Thanks!!!You can email me at tahtah88 at optonline.net, or pm me through the boards! Thanks!

Even though we're here on the West Coast, I'd still like to try and meet up with everyone back east.

Trish, I applied to the group, but it wouldn't let me use my screenname from here. So I am applied as mom2jrp. I didn't know how to let you know it was me before getting approved. Let me know if there's something else I need to do. Don't know if we'll be able to come or not, but if we make any retreat, it would be one in the midwest (like Chicago), as opposed to anywhere else. Thanks!

I'm "phirey" here and "thetuttlez" there.

Thanks for doing this!
