So I am flying into Chicago thursday the 25th. I get in at 6:45pm & I need to get my rental. Any teeners in Chicago up for a late dinner? I've got to head to Notre Dame & south bend after. The weekend is pretty much taken up with classes. Although my evenings there are fairly open if anyone lives in the South Bend area.
I leave Chicago on Monday around 2:30 & am flying into Oakland to pick up my Creamsicle from Mark. I dropped it at Original customs for some fine tuning & a new windshield |

Maybe, I have 3 exams this week, plus my wife and son just left for Ireland for the week. So I'm stuck at home with my 5 yr old daughter. This may prove to be a very tough week for me! Depending how my studying goes, and if I can find a baby sitter, maybe I can sneak out for dinner with a fellow teener.

Just throwing it out just in case. I haven't met to many teeners out east of me. Except for those that went to RRC or Route 66. My time is pretty limited so no biggie if I don't see anyone while I am out. |

QUOTE(gms @ Oct 22 2012, 10:17 AM) I will see who I can get together, are you flying into ORD? I'm flying into Midway & heading from there to South Bend. I do have a rental so hopefully something sort of in route. Whatever works though I have GPS so as long as I have an address we're good. My flight get's in at 6:45. I'd figure at least 30-45 minutes to get my car & bags. Hopefully it will be quicker but to be safe. I realize that get's a little late for dinner. So really no biggie if people can't do it. I do have evenings open in South Bend that weekend. I think we are done about 6 each day. So if that is better for anyone I am open to something in South Bend too. My cell is (five4one five1zero 00eight6) |

Well I can do both (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I'm 1/2 way between Chicago & South Bend. Don't forget South Bend is an hour ahead timewise from Chicago. |

I might have to make the drive for this, though not in the teener.

What route are you taking to South Bend, I assume the Indiana toll Road????? If so I suggest getting off at exit 23 (Portage Exit) and we meet at Quaker Steak & Lube here in Portage. Good food, car place, and on your way to South Bend. |

I have no idea on my route. I think it did have a toll road. Just tell me where to exit & I am there. I'll just plug it into my GPS & trust it to get me there.
Glad to hear I will get my teener fix while I am there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif) . Be good to meet you guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) & I love a good steak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

Thanks Garold I've got you in my phone. My cell is 5four1 5one0 00eight6 ( I put it in that way to hopefully keep it from spammers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Not to be annoying (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) ). Be good to meet the guy who's mom made me such a kick ass service cover for my 914 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
