A few people will be getting to Joliet a day early and there's talk of dinner Thursday evening somewhere in the 'hood? I'm in for this and if anyone else wants to join us, post up here and Scotty can get an approximate head count. Nothing fancy and we'll have some pre-event fun.

I would definitely be in, but I have to work on Thursday and will start driving from Pgh, PA to the event at around 6pm..... I'd take Thursday off also, but I'm starting a new job this Monday and am already a little embarassed to be taking my first Friday off!

Sorry the family comes back on Thursday from Iowa with the inlaws so I'm out for dinner, but I will see you Friday afternoon.

Cool and the more the merrier. Stay tuned to this thread for more updates and the closer to Thursday we get, the more info we'll have. Scott's looking into a restaurant somewhere near the host hotel.

Chris, it will either be AT the Holiday Inn (host hotel) bar/restaurant or very close (Rte 52/Jefferson St.). If you are interested most likely 6:30ish.

Heroes West Sports Grill down by Empress and I-80 is really good sized and has great food. A bunch of us went there last year during GoodGuys. ???????

Chris, that's perfect, I forget about that place as it is slightly off the beaten path!! But it is a great place, link below shows location and details.

......from the host hotel (Holiday Inn Banquet & Conference Center)
go out the access road between the Shell gas station and the Motel 6 and take a left on McDonough St.
go West on McDonough St about 2 miles to Houbolt and turn left.
going south on Houbolt about half mile to light at Riverboat Center Dr. and turn right
past the 7-11, take an immediate left onto Commerce Ln.......Hero's West Sports Grill - huge parking lot!!
