Hoping that Hodinkee does another vintage watch pop-up flea in Chicago this Spring. If so, would be great to organize a GTG at the same time.

That is awesome, thanks for the reply. I actually missed it last year, which was really a shame because I live and work so close to haberdash.

I know there are more Chicagoans on here, so hopefully we can get a nice group together!

Hairdude1 · 4 February 2014, 07:55 AM

I work right by Haberdash as well. We just had a little gtg not to long ago. Maybe we could get another going.

bde · 12 February 2014, 11:25 AM

If it's on a weekend I'd drive over from IN.

RolexJNJ · 12 February 2014, 01:31 PM

Absolutely, a Saturday would be ideal. Hoping that the Hodinkee crew announce something soon. Even if they don't, would be great to organize an event. Let's get past this polar vortex first!

dddrees · 12 February 2014, 02:38 PM

I'd be interested if the timing were right.

Cesium133 · 12 February 2014, 03:10 PM

I would be interested.

Hairdude1 · 12 February 2014, 03:37 PM

Lets start inking something guys!

Hairdude1 · 13 February 2014, 03:26 PM

How about March 1????

Lion · 13 February 2014, 09:35 PM

Hi, I'm interested in getting together as well but the weekend of March 1st is not good for me. If it's decided to be held on a different weekend I'd love to meet up with everyone...Thanx!!!

Pix · 14 February 2014, 12:40 AM

I would drive down, Sat/Sun maybe later in March if it ever warms up?

unclesallie · 14 February 2014, 12:44 AM

If you guys wait for a warmer weather, I will come up and stay with my friends in River Forest. It's been a while since I've been in Chicago, always enjoy my visits....
BTW, right now we have 12" and snowing like crazy here in S. Central Pa......

RolexJNJ · 14 February 2014, 12:49 AM

How does everyone feel about mid-late April? I'm suggesting for 2 reasons: 1) warmer weather; and 2) maybe Hodinkee will be back in town for another vintage watch fair?

Also, does anyone know Quartino restaurant at Ontario & State? Could be a perfect spot for us as they have great meeting spaces, excellent food and drink and really reasonable prices.

Please let me know your thoughts!

Hairdude1 · 14 February 2014, 02:15 PM

Joe I am meeting with the rep from haberdash who arranged the last meeting tomorrow. Lets see if we can get them back.

Speaking to my friend I discovered that Hondinkee reached out to them. I told her that we have a lot of people who would like them to head back. She will be reaching out to them soon.
