The very far Northwest side, next to Park Ridge/Des Plaines.

[yellowdogmi]

6. Northwest hwy and oliphant.

[mopinko]

If you don't watch out. :D

[mopinko]

11. what a way to go.

i'll take it.

[riderinthestorm]

7. Where is Prairie Rock? n/t

[mopinko]

8. by woodfield

meachem & golf. or ram, which is on the other side of the mall.
anyplace else in the burbs where they don't sell budlite?

[riderinthestorm]

12. Yep, I could get to Prairie Rock

I would be happy to pick up any Wheaton area people who may need a ride if it ends up we meet there.

I can't remember the last time I went to a bar for a beer, any kind of beer, so I don't have any firsthand knowledge but I know there are some great Irish places - one in St. Charles and another in Glen Ellyn. I'm going to guess they don't serve budlight in a place like that.....

[Cadfael]

14. Wheaton person here who would be interested

Keep me posted...I've always wanted to go to a get-together!:D

[riderinthestorm]

15. Great!

Once Mopinko sets the date and time we'll make arrangements. I too have always wanted to go to one, but they never worked into my schedule. This one (I hope) will finally be it!



:hi:

[riderinthestorm]

25. Hi Cadfael!

I sent you a PM. I can make it to the Lunar Brewing tomorrow night if you are up for it.

[genie_weenie]

13. Is this open to Illinois DUers?

Or is this a closed party?

[mopinko]

16. well, i see you are a cub fan. we might hold that against you

but other than that, come on down.

[genie_weenie]

17. Do you have a time/place decided?

I saw Prarie Rock listed as a possible loc? Has it been decided?

Go Cubs... 100 years is long in geological terms...

[mopinko]

18. waitin' on kevin

he's the guest of honor, and also the one with the busy schedule.

[Kevin Spidel]

19. Saturday night??

Tomorrow night I think we are meeting up later at Lunar Brewing Company to listen to some good blues. this after a day of canvassing. wanna join? or is that too soon?

[mopinko]

20. where is lunar brewing?

that would work for me. i was hoping the ground was soft enough to plant signs. although i think i will bring an ice pick and a hammer, just in case. but, yeah, i was planning to be out that way.

[Kevin Spidel]

[mopinko]

22. hubby the beer critic says 'don't miss it'

so, i am there. trying to get him out there, too. it's on his 'must do' list, so maybe he will come along. he doesn't do politics, much, but he does do beer.

[Kevin Spidel]

23. from one beer geek to another...

[mopinko]
