  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Fellas, I will be in Chicago on the 20th. Hoping to make it down to Casa de Montecristo by 2ish that afternoon. Should be there for a couple hours before the Blackhawks-Canucks game that evening. Would be cool if I could meet some of the Chi-town broskis, but being so close to Christmas and late notice, I understand how it could be tough. LMK.
Thx..

I might be able to make it around 5:00 or so as well if that's not too late. Are you going to the game at the United center or hoping to watch it at CsM? I'll PM you my cell number so you can text me.

Casa's a great place. I try to make it there two/three times a year. Have fun.

I might be able to make it Doug since I have to go into the office for a morning meeting which is relatively close to CdM.

Cool. My plane arrives at Midway at noon, so I was thinking 2 hours to get to the hotel, check in and swing over should be enough. I'm a country boy too so not familiar with traffic in DT Chicago. I'm staying at the Westin River North or something like that.

Just a heads-up... You'll travel on 55 to get to the CdM from your hotel in the city. Traffic outbound from the city is mind-numbing on Fridays. I'm not sure about the traffic at 1 PM-2 PM like you're planning. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some traffic. Maybe someone else from Chicago that commutes at those times can fill us in. I would be quick with your check-in.

If there is moderate traffic, I would expect a 40 minute commute outbound. I take this route a lot but just not at that time.

I thought Casa was your office :). I know it would be mine if I lived there.
