If all are in favor for Durty Neillies then maybe set a reservation for 6pm or 6:30pm even if some come at 7:00 we will make sure a couple of us are there to hold it till everyone arrives, that gives us about 3 to 4 hours to talk in Bass Clef until things start to get a little noisy, then it's stay and listen to the music a bit or move the party and Crash the Day's Inn.
 
So if we are settled on this location by Majority than let's get a head count and I can call in the reservation, so  just post your name and how many coming along with you and we will add 6 xtra just in case Bag end decides to come along.
Ok lets try this..

We should all promise to be on our best behavior. I wouldn?t want Dave to have to ?moderate? in person.
 
You just have to remember to breathe . . .  
 
:-)

Darn, and I was planning to leave my lungs at home!
 
Bill, tgo

Wow . . . sure wish I was able to get away and be there for the Chicago gathering. . . my old stomping grounds - Durty Nellies is three blocks away from where I grew up.

Guys,
have lots of fun at the meeting.
I am really down that I cannot come as I will be in London as said...
But next time.....

Something else to think about is does Durty Nellis have a dress code. ie. no shorts, shirt must have a collar no flip flops....

Heres what I hope will be some helpful travel tips.
For those motoring to the gig:
Having not been there for a long time I took a run over to BagEnd to refresh my memory earlier today.  
If you get directions from Yahoo, Google, etc..ignore county road numbers given, look for the street names..as an example, it tells me to turn on to CR-30..you wont find a sign like that..its marked V49..but you knew that. Illinois is kinda cute that way. Blago spent the money on haircuts.
When you turn into the little industrial complex..go to suite E all the way down on your left..I saw no signs saying BagEnd anywhere. Theres a big E on their dock door.
And for those who may build a hankerin for a hops infested beverage the Onion Pub is darn near across the street..ok, maybe a block or so. Could be a temporary hangout before Durty Nellies.
 
Bill..travel light, just bring one lung, I'll borrow you one of mine.

Just so everyone knows I am holding a reservation at Durty Nellies for right now in the Mezzanine for 25 people but I can go up or down on the numbers just as long as I have the tally by friday night give or take...NO DRESS CODE ENFORCED  BUT PLEASE BILL DON'T SHOW UP IN YOUR UNDERWEAR !  FLIP FLOPS, SANDALS TEE'S ARE FINE!

AWESOME, you the man John!
 
Definately no underwear or thongs please, unless your thinging a thong.

Olie, you mean... I cannot show up in my black-red-gold GERMANY undies ?
 
please consider my seat cancelled :-)

As long you've got a matching cape it'll be OK.
 
OO
I stopped wearing my thong because everytime I ate mexican food I sounded like a duck call.

Blago spent the money on haircuts.
He paid for that look?  
 
I will have a camera and maybe a video camera. Not sure if my wife will make it to do her best Linda McCartney imitation. Either way there will be footage of the event . . . Bassist Gone Wild  :-)
