Welcome to CP! Do you live in Chicago or out in the 'burbs? I don't know of any formal get togethers planned soon, but different members from the general area get together once in a while for some listening sessions.

Which we need to do here pretty soon. How's it going a_m? You and the misses have to get over to hear the SDA's soon. Summer is winding down after Labor Day so hopefully we can all get together soon. I want to hear dkg999's new HT and his Maggies as well.

Any progress on the 2-ch rig yet?

Ok, I might eat my heart out if you are golfing some of the courses down there :p . I was thinking late Sept. as every weekend is booked soild until then. Dave, you realize this weekend is WaterFront and while it's not my forte', I have lots of friends who want to attend so that's primarily where I'll be.

McLoki you are welcome anytime so if/when we set a date we'll let you know. Opus you are invited as well :) .

Long Bay,King's North,etc. Yeah, I know it's this weekend. My daughter and I are going to Daughtry tonight and we may go down a little this weekend. My wife will be selling tix at the Country stage 4-8 Fri. They're trying to sucker me into it,too.:( Have fun,maybe we'll see ya!:D

[Lowell_M]

Went to Daughtry also last night. Good show.. a little short, but I guess he doesn't have much to draw from. 12 Stones wasn't too bad either.

Right now though... I'm working from home today and have discovered Dire Straights (yea...never really listened to them before). Holy crap are their recordings sweet!

Brock, you up for any golf tomorrow morning if their's any T-times available anywhere?

Golfing at Macktown in the AM and we've been hit and miss w/a 4th but we have one for tomorrow (figures). We usually do the Saturday thing every Saturday and it seems we end up at Macktown or Ledges (all in your neck of the woods). I might be able to get you in next Saturday morning if you can plan that far ahead. I'll check and make sure we still have 4 for tomorrow if not, you are in.

Are you guys doing Waterfront any time this weekend? I'm heading down tonight to see the Black Crowes and will be down there tomorrow late afternoon/evening also.

Sweet, let me know. I just got back from golfing a (not-so) fabulous 49 at The Ledges. Rough nine..... Par'd the first hole...double bogey on the second...and so on.

I will be in Atlanta next weekend setting up for "Glassbuild 2007", the yearly window and door manufacturer's show. yahoo.

Let me know about tomorrow...I'm game if you need a 4th.

[MikeC78]

Maybe we can have a Polkie golf outing someday? Smoke a few cigars, drink a few beers, and maybe we could even hit up H9's favorite bar, the "PubII"?;)

Ehhh, golfing sucks, what a waste of good real estate.:p

[opus]

beer?

In please

[daboyz]

Aaron, great find on Dire Straits. Mark Knopfler can handle a guitar and "Sultans of Swing" is an awesome tune.Also,beer is always a welcome addition to the get togethers.

[heiney9]

+1 to beer, just got home from Waterfront and beer was #1 on my list. Saw a great Irish rock band.......pretty cool.

'cause Annie was! ;) :D

That right Annie was b-bq'ing away so our sorry asses could listen to all the rigs. :D ;)

[schwarcw]

I see that Teddy was also enjoying the afternoon with a little desert.

The Root Beer looks tasty, now I'm thirsty!

I chowed on some filets that I grilled on the patio for my brothers. Some corn on the cob, bow tie pasta with some fresh tomato and basil. Yum!

Glad you all had a good time!

[SCompRacer]

Annie is a good cook, no need for me to get involved.

Victor, you are too kind…it was great having you and Jessica over. Greg and Norm were missed. Thanks for bringing the fancy root beer. The Jones brand was kind of cool with different scenes illustrated on each bottle. You did forgot to photochop out the magic Epox clock though, the secret to making my system more musical.

Carl, as you know Teddy is on the ropes. On the day I have him put down, he will either get a small Giordanos pizza or a ½ gallon of Edy’s Vanilla Bean all to himself.

[daboyz]
