Alright then, it seems Friday is best for most. So if there's no serious objections, then Friday it is.

Jeremy, I have a 4am wake up call on Saturday, so I understand where you're coming from.

Paulr, if you're comfortable getting there early to get a name on the list, please do.

Again, this is open to anyone....Also this should be restated.

There will likely be some drinking involved, so it probably couldn't be a sanctioned CMMC event, but that doesn't mean we can't have some fun.






A thanks to Jeremy for throwing this together.

I'll be there about 7:30. There is generally good spots to park nearer to the Gap (were I'll probably be). Hope to see all of you there

So Friday is the day! I'll be there and I'll make sure I remember to bring my camera too

Do we want to exchange phone numbers by PM or email in case someone can't make it at the last minute??? I have Paul's and Taylor's already...

that's unfortunate they wouldn't let you in w/ a minor... if you think that law sucks, i can't purchase alcohol on sundays in IN! that's just not american and i'm saying this b/c i grew up in downstate IL. there's nothing better than buying a case of beer on sunday afternoon before going to a v-ball game however the claddagh does have very good food...

Food is always a secondary consideration when frequenting an Irish Pub. However, I'll be sampling the culinary delights Friday night.

Claddagh called about 30 minutes ago to confirm. We're set for 12 people.

Can anyone guess what name the reservation is under?? It's really original and no cheating Francis

Traffic notes:

For those coming from the east, stay far away from Rt. 64 (North Ave.) between Kirk Rd. and Randall Rd. Too many lights in downtown St. Charles and construction on Randall backs up the turn lane really bad.

Alternative if you're heading in on Rt. 64 is to go south on Kirk Rd. then west on Rt. 38 (Roosevelt Rd. / E. State St.) when you get near St. Charles. A map of the area is here.

Let me know if anyone needs any assistance.

I was just going to shoot out 88 to Orchard then pick up Randall coming from O'Hare.

I'll be there a tad after 8pm, I'm playing office boy till then.
