What to do:
-Either visit the new rolex boutique or some watch store on jewelry street (wabash)
-Have dinner (Hugo's Frog Bar?)

Let's start the poll and get this going

johnny80s · 7 May 2011, 06:31 AM

Still depends on time.....thx for putting this together.

qualizon · 7 May 2011, 08:05 AM

I would think it'll more like a after 3pm kinda thing so that we can hang around at a shop or boutique and then go to dinner afterwards.

dddrees · 7 May 2011, 11:33 AM

I might be able to stop by on the 14th. I will be up there for a Bob Seeger Concert that day.

Lion · 8 May 2011, 11:54 AM

Any day is really fine for me and Hugo's Frog Bar is a very good place to eat at. But it would mean making reservations before hand!!!

qualizon · 10 May 2011, 01:30 AM

yes, I think we'll want at least 8 or 10 of us for a GTG, right?

tkc324 · 10 May 2011, 02:23 AM

Lets see if we can make a push for this Sat?? Lets strike the iron while its hot, so that we dont let this linger on....

I would love to meet up this Saturday if possible. I am getting married in 3 weeks, so the closer toward the big day will be getting busier and busier. If not, it would have be in June.

Christiaan · 10 May 2011, 04:10 AM

I will get weekends off in June, so sunday the 5th is my vote.

qualizon · 10 May 2011, 05:03 AM

Sounds like June will be the better time as far as planning goes and by the way, congrats to tkc324!

tkc324 · 10 May 2011, 06:38 AM

Thanks Qalizon... appreciate it!! Hope to see and meet everyone soon~

Lion · 28 May 2011, 10:48 PM

So is anything going to happen or are we just spinning our wheels...the month of April is gone and May is almost over as well???

qualizon · 1 June 2011, 02:23 AM

I know guys... but the response rate has been really low and I can only see 7 voters on the meeting date only...

bgriz · 1 June 2011, 10:04 AM

Hey guys, I'd be interested. Sounds like we just need a day in June. Hope it happens.

Well, I'd like to do a Chicago GTG with you's guys, but unless I have a large lead time, like the Pittsburgh GTG (I'm only gonna have 2 days off, now, before the Pitt. GTG, 2 in17 days),I have a hard time getting off work. That said, on short notice, I may be able to make it, but I can't be sure until Thursday around noon before the weekend.

A month ago, June was a possibility, but now I'm busy/tied up until June 25, at the earliest, as it gets closer, I will fill it. I know your winters are as long as mine, so every weekend in the summer gets filled, on purpose, know what I'm sayin'?

I'm only one guy, but my suggestion is to talk w/an AD and find a Saturday that would work for you and them and go for it!

Hey, I went to a GTG that only two other people made it, it was great. Got to know two new great people.

tkc324 · 2 June 2011, 11:59 AM

How about this, anyone down to meet up either 18th or 25th??? Maybe 4 pm at the Rolex Boutique, then we can go grab a bite to eat at a near restaurante. Even if we have just 4-5 people, I think it would be fun...

qualizon · 3 June 2011, 04:22 AM

I'm good on the 18th!

bgriz · 3 June 2011, 06:38 AM

Either the 18th or 25th works for me.

Lion · 3 June 2011, 10:48 PM

I'm out of town on the 18th but June 25 would be great!!!

tkc324 · 4 June 2011, 12:41 AM

Looks like we can get the ball rolling on this one.... but i just remember that I have to volunteer for the Chicago hunger walk on 25th, so 18th is my only option... sorry guys.
I am going to bring a friend who is just getting into watches with me, if we do 18th some times in the afternoon.

qualizon · 4 June 2011, 02:51 AM

Yea, 18th is the only day coz I already have commitment on the 25th.

mtrunner · 4 June 2011, 04:25 AM

Hey Chicago! I am going to be in town June 18th - June 23rd for a conference so if you guys are meetiing on the 18th I would love to join you guys. I land at 2:15 on the 18th but should be able to meet later that afternoon.

tkc324 · 4 June 2011, 07:35 AM

Gary glad that you can join us! So looks like this is coming together nicely... anyone else want to join us?

etp095 · 4 June 2011, 07:49 AM

I could join you guys on the 18th.

tkc324 · 5 June 2011, 08:17 AM

Looks like we got about 6 people already by my count. Lets see if anyone else might join us on the 18th??
Now we just need to decide the location. Looks like either Michigan Ave Rolex Boutique or James and Son in Lincoln Park are the two front runners. Does people have preference?

Gagebuilder · 5 June 2011, 08:52 AM

Have fun, all. I'll be in Pittsburgh the 18th.

At the other GTG.

tkc324 · 5 June 2011, 09:13 AM

Doug, have fun at the Pitt GTG... maybe we should teleconference the 2 GTG, that would be very interesting... lol.

qualizon · 5 June 2011, 09:18 AM

Great, I wish I can change the topic subject so that it's easier for other chicago member to look at.

bgriz · 5 June 2011, 02:10 PM

I'd vote we have this GTG at the new Rolex boutique. But either location is fine.
What time are you guys thinking?

tkc324 · 7 June 2011, 01:25 AM

How about we shoot for 3 pm in the afternoon? I may not be able to join the dinner afterwards. Down town location is fine by me.

qualizon · 7 June 2011, 03:51 AM
