I plan to attend, but I sorta wish there was at least a small HHR S/S in the pic, then I could wear one...

08HHRSS5spd welcome to CSS.net, and you won't be the only HHR there by any means.

UgliestTurtle, yes saw the map, I have someone coming in tomorrow who lives right down town so I want them to see if they have any suggestions, but do please call tomorrow afternoon if you can.

I think its too late to mod the shirt any more to be able to get it done in time for the show but I do like your idea SSBLKBTY.

I have been talking to a few people who travel to Chicago from Grayslake almost everyday. They said that the best way to get to Chicago with out hitting any tolls is to take Sheridan and N Lake Shore drive.


CLICKY
if anyone wants, i might be able to bring a bunch of two way radios, just incase the cruise gets broken up by traffic lights or something. We could distribute them to people spread throughout the cruise so that if one group gets seperated someone in that group can radio to the guys up ahead

I would be glad to handle it. If you would like your more then welcome to help me with the route.

I liked and disliked a few things about your idea for the Sat cruise route. Im going to edit mine a little to try and get some of your ideas in the route.
Give me feed back on it.

Holiday Inn Express
77 W Buckley Rd
Libertyville, IL 60048
847-549-7878, block is under "css.net"

Check in time is 3pm so Id say meet anytime after that but not to late into the day...We'll be going on a Dark Knight Cruise of Chicago Friday night so you don't miss when the group leaves. The time for that cruise is still TBD.

hopefully the dark night cruise will start later in the evening, as i do not get off work until 6pm. maybe if the cruise started at 8ish or so...that would be great. also, that would avoid most of the rush hour traffic too.

Thanks...i just thought about that after reading the post about the time being TBD. It would be a horrible idea to start the cruise before 8pm. anything before 8pm gets real bad with traffic everywhere around here, and the city itself is an absolute joke. if you're downtown before 8pm after work, you might as well just pull over, cry, and smoke a cigarette. once 8 rolls around though...everything is much smoother sailing.

I might get stuck at the Rock setting thinks up so I might not make it to the hotel until after 6 or so either.
I also talked to my contact who lives down town and had a few ideas about the cruise. Of course I don't remember what they were lol
