I'm not much of a gambler.  I once bet on a horse race and it won, so I've tried to maintain my 1 and 0 record for life.  I'm up $5.  I probably blew it on beer.  If I had just bought one share of Microsoft stock with it instead...

Title: Re: Meet & greet IL
Post by Cerberus on Oct 17th, 2003, 2:28pm
Ok , here's an idea.....

Since there are a couple of us who are actually thinking of traveling. Even though Chicago seems to be the closest, maybe we can find a more central location that everyone would be able to make a little more easily.
 Not that Chicago is a bad choice, I was just thinking maybe there is something a little more south-west that would be easier for Cat and Jim to make and save us ALL the hassle of driving in Chicago. That alone is enough to make me cringe in fright.
 Not volunteering to organize , but, maybe we could meet in IOWA say the Quad Cities. It would cut down driving time for those west (like nebraska, and minnesota), and only lengthen it an hour or so for those who are south of Chicago like St. Louis. its only one or two hours west of Rockford where Woobie and I are. And its alot less of a hassle to get around since woobie and I are originally from there we would know where to go. :)

I AM A GENIUS!!!

While I was in the shower just now, I had a BRILLIanT idea.. (if i do say so meself!!)

I used to work at a casino in Bettendorf, IA.  It's now the Isle of Capri (was Lady Luck) ... but I still have LOTS a juice there.. and could pull some strings..

They have a hotel... they have restaurants.. they have gambling (gambling BAD!).. and it could be a place where the out-of-towners could stay.... the hotel is awesome!!   They also have meeting rooms..

anddddddd... i could maybe pull some strings and get cheap hotel rooms...... especially if it's not on a weekend...

whatcha think??

Oh and BTW JDH........The Sox fan in me is laughing hysterically, the baseball fan in me is weeping like a little bitch.......had ta root fer the home town team ya know.  ;D Hell, the cubbies deserved a shot.....too bad the clutch hitting wasn't there. The four man pitching rotation didn't help their cause either. Who the hell wants to see the skanks play the marlins anyhow........its football season time to move on.......GO CHIEFS!!!!

BW, sorry to hear you're a Hawks fan. Maybe if they could bring back Hull, Espo, Secord, Savard, Chelios, and Roenick they could restore some of the glory.
I really miss those Blues/Hawks games of yesteryear.
What a great rivalry that used to be when they played in the old buildings...anything could happen AND it usually did, lol.

I Know a guy in Davenport (1 Min. from Bettendorf) That owns a Super 8, I just called him and he said if we wanted to do something before March he would give us rooms for $39.99 two beds, Normal price is $54.99.

This is not a fancy hotel, there is no pool, restaurant or bar But it is clean, newer and in a good location just off I-80.

Let me know if this helps.

I don't know when would be good, First part of November is too soon, the end of November is Turkey Day, The first Part of December is Ouchfest in Alton, IL the end of Dec is Christmas, I'm thinking Middle Of January, But then we need to think about the weather

I agree Lee, that time of year the weather may be a factor...but wtf, I'll give it a shot whenever ya'll decide.
A little getaway in January might be nice after vegatating during the holidays.

Tina, Sue and I both work 9-5,  Mon-Fri so a weekend would be our best chance to make it to anything.

Keep me posted.

I'm going to go ahead and pick a date, Jan 17th & 18th, I think that would be a good weekend because Monday the 19th is Martin Luther King Day and some people may be able to take that day off.

Now we just need a place.

WTG, Lee,
Jan 17th & 18th would probably be a good time for us as long as the weather's ok.
But where?
Personally I was liking that Peoria idea but that's just me. Anywhere within about 3 hundred miles s/b ok for us.
Just put an mp3 player in my truck so a road trip is definitely in order [smiley=jammin.gif]

Title: Re: Meet & greet IL
Post by River_Rat on Oct 22nd, 2003, 3:15pm
OK OK now we have a date.  January 17th and 18th

NOW WE NEED A LOCATION, lets quit jacking around here, Bettendorf sets right on the Iowa/Illinois border if you didn't know.

If Tina can get great hotel rates there, then it might be a good spot, but we need to make a decision so we can move forward and start getting it planned.

Jim likes Peoria

Tina likes Bettendorf

I like Bettendorf,
Mostly because I live 1 minute from there, so it works for me, Plus living right would better position me to get things orginized. But, I'm wide open.

Gena, Did you have a place in mind.

LEE




Title: Re: Meet & greet IL
Post by Woobie on Oct 22nd, 2003, 3:39pm
LOL!
Peoria is very centrally located ... and isn't it right off
I-80?  easy to get to..............  so I dont mind doing it there.  

BUT - does anyone KNOW anything about Peoria??  I dont know where to go, where to stay, if there's anything to do.. nothing????

I don't know about the hotel rooms yet in Bettendorf.....- haven't heard back ......... but as sooon as I do, I'll let ya know.   But we may as well forget it  - because on the weekend.. they wont give comps... so there's no point.

but that weekend sounds good to me... Way to go on pickin dates.........LOL!!!    Ramon and I are good for that weekend........  

Just gotta pick a place..........

tina

Title: Re: Meet & greet IL
Post by gmlevenhagen on Oct 22nd, 2003, 4:08pm
Thanks for asking, but I have no preferance.

Both places mentioned are about equal distance from me.

So those two are great.

Does anyone know if there is any thing to do in those towns?

I say we find out whats up with those town and then pick, or which ever offers us the best deal on hotel rooms!!!!

Gena

Title: Re: Meet & greet IL
Post by Woobie on Oct 22nd, 2003, 4:32pm
Ok Check it..........

No one here knows diddly squat about Peoria.  I'm sure its a nice place.. but when I did the game in Chicago without knowing squat about where to go, or what to do, it was a fiasco.(to say the LEAST!!!).. so I REALLLY REALLLY dont wanna do that again.  

I think that someone should HOST it in their town...... so that SOMEONE will have an idea of where to go eat.. what to do... etc,  It only makes sense.

So......... since Ramon and I are here....... why not do it in Rockford??   That way - some Wisconsin Cheese heads can come too!!  And it's away from Chicago's traffic.  

So.. i think that it should either be in Rockford.. with Ramon and I hosting..

Or In bettendorf with River Rat hosting...........and he can get 99$$ rooms for 64$$.. .on the weekend even.  And the hotel itself has everything we need to MEET AND GREET.

As far as Bettendorf........I KNOW that I cannot get free hotel rooms on a weekend...... so that's out.   :(


So, unless anyone else has any better ideasssss......... [smiley=referee.gif].

VOTE!!!   [smiley=thumbsup.gif]


Rockford / Bettendorf / or some where else?

LOL!

OK

GREAT NEWS TINA WILL BE HOSTING THE MIDWEST MEET AND GREET, I might give her a hand.

WHEN: January 10th and 11th (Check in at 2pm)

WHERE: SteepleGate Inn (100 W. 76th st. Davenport, IA)

I Spoke with the GM at the SteepleGate For about an hour today and got us some great rates, This is a very nice hotel, with a great bar, very nice restaurant, large indoor pool with alot of tables and lounge areas, I explained the purpose of our meeting and he was very helpful, not to mention I personally know the owner, who never goes there, but I did drop the name LOL

http://www.bestwestern.com/prop_16083

With the use of this type hotel the won't be much reason to have to leave, everything we need will be there.

Rates are $99.00 single occupancy, However I was able to negotiate these rates

Hows $64.00 double occupancy sound and that includes a killer breakfest buffett.

Here's the catch we need to book 10 rooms so I need to know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE how many of you will be in attendence.

I'm going to post this in general post as well

I thought maybe we'd see which town would work better for everyone......... wait a couple days to see who replies.......


It matters NOT to me which town it's in.....and I dont care who hosts it.........but dontcha think we should give it a minute??

Love ya man.......
Tina   :-*

ps - just so everyone knows..... the Steeplegate Inn is a very nice hotel..... used to work there also.  Lee is correct, we would never have to leave if we didn't want to.... it's got everything we need ....

Tina, I understand but I'm very driven and when I get started doing something I never quit until its done.

I also sometimes get myself in trouble doing that. LOL

I never intended it to be carved in stone, I figured that if it didn't work for most people, I'd hear about it.

So lets just call this tentitive, and wait for feedback.

Woobs,

Thanks again for the email "heads up". We'll have to check our schedules but I think that Jan 10,11 would work out. Oh yeah, did somebody mention pheasants? ... Hey Bus, I'm in ... have shotgun ... will travel!

BTW, I grew up in the Peoria area and still have family around there. It's been 15 years since I've lived there, and things have certainly changed since then, but Peoria does have some nice places too.

Take care

Post by Yos on Oct 23rd, 2003, 1:41pm
I might be able to make this too.  Personally Peoria would be good for me too since it is a lot closer, but Davenport is only a couple hours, so no big deal either way.  And I don't want to influence too much since I'm new to both the board in general, and this thread.  Unfortunately not new to CH though...

Hello all Terry here in Davenport Iowa only 5 blocks from Steeplegate Inn. If any thing i can do to help if  in this area please feel free to ask me ok. I am unemployed but getting disability because of my chronic cluster headaches. Just started disability last week. So i am free most of the day. But I ussally can not drive cause of meds I am on. Mainly the pain patch I wear 24/7. But have wifey and son and daughter and best friend to take me places if need to. Nite all and if I can help please ask. Also any place you all decide is ok cause I could do the Rockford or any other IL town close to here.
P.S. Looks like River Rat is closest to me I could help him if he works o-tay Ü

Kinda drunk right now so I hope this post doesn't sound stupid:

Gore, You live right here? In the Quad Cities? Thought I was the only clusterhaed around here.

Anyway< I hope your Ok (Not chornic, or in cycle right now)

Do you plan on getting a room, IF not, that's OK I think were going to be alright as far as room count is concerned, I think we have 7 for sure already and I'm sure there will a few more.

Welcome to the cluster family and I'm looking forward to meeting you.
