Dinner with everyone/General gathering, around 6 PM or so. Location is currently TBA! (Krystyn is currently working on a reservation for a party group at Ed Debevic's, see this post at the Unforums for ESSENTIAL information!
Tickets are $7 + ($1 times the roll of a single six-sided die) or $8 - $13, depending on your luck! The Chicago Reunion Organization Committee for Better Reunion Organizationizing...Panel believes that this production would be appealing to ARGers and has it on good authority that it's also just pretty darn cool. |
Waters, Krystyn, and others will be heading over to Fogo de
Chao for lunch (hmm, let's set an arbitrary time - HIGH NOON. How's that?).
It's a Brazilian steakhouse, so be prepared to get your meat on! Some others will be shopping after, most likely. |

Several Beekeepers will be attending various events/booths at Animecentral
2005. Additionally, Krystyn and others will be attempting to catch
the Videogame Exhibit
at the Museum of Science and Industry. Karaoke! Location: TBA. Prepare for some smooth crooning from our very own Jinxie. Ariock might do the entire back catalogue of ABBA! </vicious rumor> |
There are various museums at your fingertips, as well as parks, boat
tours, and plenty of touristy shopping along the Magnificent Mile/Gold
Coast. Are people still wanting LAN play? |

There is a tentative plan to congregate at a cheap-good diner somewhere for breakfast, as people begin to head back homewards, from whence they came. There are several Golden Nuggets in the city, which can accomodate larger groups, sometimes with a short wait. As we get closer to the weekend, we can narrow down/coordinate this effort a little more carefully. Hooray for bottomless cups of coffee! (We considered a farewell lunch, but some people have really long drives back home, so it seems better to do this in the morning.) |
Have you seen the city from the Tower yet? Perhaps you'd like to check out Millenium Park, or perhaps take a stroll through Lincoln Park, and maybe duck into the Zoo, if the weather's nice. |
