Anything is possible...as the date can be open to meet anytime and anywhere in the Chicagoland area. So start throwing out some dates.....and the beginning of March for Joey is definitely doable!!!

Let's plan on Sunday March 3rd, 2013(when Joey will be here in town) and we can meet at a restaurant/bar for drinks, conversation and food. Last summer we met at a neighborhood bar/restaurant in the City and had a fantastic time. To me this would be more fun and interesting then visiting watch stores!!!

Good point as we do need good light.....who has any suggestions of where to meet? I do not get into the city very much so I am not that familiar with great places to meet, eat and drink. The only place I can think of is Hugo's Frog Bar and Fish House on Rush St......

Take it easy.....Leo

March 3... can't spend all day with you guys, probably only a few hours because I have limited time visiting Chicago 5 days only. I will plan on meeting for food and a quick trip to a dealer. Can't do dinner that day, we have a reservation at RPM Italian at 9pm. Maybe lunch?

Are we meeting in the city or somewhere in the suburbs?

What about CD peacock in Oakbrook? We can go to Gibsons across the street? They have Patek and Panerai on display in addition to Rolex.

Hi everyone,
Any place, anytime or any date is fine with me. If March 3rd is not good for most everyone than pick another date. I just threw that date out to get the conversation flowing. ....but I was hoping the feedback would be better and we could pin down a date, time and place. So what does everyone want to do?

Take it easy.....Leo

Hey guys, I could do Oakbrook CD Peacock as that is much easier than dealing with Chicago. March 3 works for me. I'll keep checking back here to see if anything comes together.

March 3rd, 2013 is good for me as well...please everyone interested.....give us some feedback as to the date and what you would like to do. As for me just meeting up at a restaurant for food and conversation is good enough!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

I could do 3/3 as of now, would be driving down from north of Chicago. I could care less about a dealer, so a restaurant or coffee shop is ok.

I'm glad to hear some feedback for just meeting up for food, drink and conversation. Now let's decide on a place to meet up at for let's say roughly lunchtime through the early afternoon(I do not want to interfer with members who go to Church Service in the morning). I do not drink alcohol but I'm not against others imbibing the Spirits...so where do we want to meet up.....I'm fine with in the city or suburbs...which ever works best for the majority of participants. But as Hairdude1 suggested let's decide through PM's or Emails on a place as it's best not to make the location publicly known.....Thanx!!!

Take it easy....Leo

I could probably make it on March 3 if it is in oak brook area. I'd prefer restaurant and no dealers. Let me know what is finally decided.
