Happy Birthday Jim! May there be many wonderful cocktails consumed today. And excuse my shitty typing. Can someone fix the thread title please?

Swordfish and asparagus fresh off the grill.

Set up the Wintek receiver and KLH Model Six speakers I generously received from Kevin. To put it mildly I am gobsmacked. Happy ears and a big shit eating grin. Thanks again Kevin. I have some work to do on these but man are they starting out with promise.

I've only met Todd a couple of times and he is a great guy. My condolences on this tragic loss.

Went up to Dr. Gilmore's to pick up some gear and got a chance to hear his astounding speaker rig. I now have much to aspire to!!

Best of luck Ken. Take care of that ticker.

It's your place and if the remnant note pleases you, then feck anyone else. IMHO.

GABF '11 is sounding like a staggeringly good idea. Adding it to the calendar.

Happy Birthday!!

You owe me a keyboard since I just spewed tea all over it. Too funny!

Hopefully not this.....

Hell yes. Though I think the bunny/wizard/dress thing might scare Debbie, he is more than welcome!

Happy Birthday Deepak!!

I'll set an arbitrary start time of 10 AM, but if people get here earlier, or the night before or whatever, no big deal. I have taken the Friday before and the Monday after off work so if someone does need a ride or anything, just post and we'll work it out. As we get closer I'll PM address details and phone number where I can be reached in case you need to.

Combine them and see if you can achieve the Cheese Event Horizon.

Love to have you attend. Lots of good folks should be here from the way it's looking.

We do have a Metra train station within 10 minutes of us and we'd be happy to pick you up and drop you off. How to get to that station (University Park) from Midway or O'Hare I'm not sure of. But it looks like you can take the CTA Orange Line into the city and then catch Metra from there: First Itinerary - MIDWAY CTA to UNIVERSITY PARK METRA Take CTA ORANGE LINE TRAIN (ORANGE LINE - CLOCKWISE) Depart at 05:00 PM: MIDWAY CTA Arrive at 05:20 PM: ROOSEVELT CTA Take CTA RED LINE TRAIN (RED LINE - NORTHBOUND) Depart at 05:25 PM: ROOSEVELT CTA Arrive at 05:30 PM: STATE/LAKE CTA (BRN/GRN/ORN/PNK/PRP/RED) Walk 0.3 mile SE to RANDOLPH ST METRA Take METRA ELECTRIC LINE Depart at 06:08 PM: RANDOLPH ST METRA Arrive at 07:08 PM: UNIVERSITY PARK METRA Regular Cash Fare: Cash: $ 7.75 *Find out how to reduce this fare Reduced Cash Fare: Cash: $ 3.60 *Find out if you are eligible to register The RTA Trip Planner is here: Plan Your Trip - Regional Transportation Authority

You have a place to crash sir. Including shovel storage.

Hail! Hail! Rock 'n' Roll.

Where were your seats in Indy? We went every year. We started with seats on the main straight but after two years moved to the North West Vista. We could see everything from turn one through turn seven. I will also be trying for Austin. Let's hope it all happens.

No spoiler on Monza but didn't realize you were an F1 fan. Tifosi?
