Time for one last d-_-b trip?... When's the weather good in Chicago?

When's the weather good in Chicago?

 

Usually between May 8th and 10th, and then again from September 28th to the 30th. Unless it rains.

Where will head casers get their encased meat fix for future sausage fests!

[Dusty Chalk]

We need to convince Jacob that it's worth the effort.

[nikongod]

I think the best way to convince him would be to bring him there. 

 

Just saying. 

[Dusty Chalk]

No, I mean making sausages is worth the effort.

[Aura]

I'm very likely going tomorrow for lunch. Just horrific news.

[Voltron]

Now I am bummed that we didn't go on the recent Chicago trip.     Sad, sad, sad.

[shellylh]

I've never been there.  

[skullguise]

^^^ Sabbatical and no closing until October = Chicago visit.  At least for those nice two days 

[Aura]

Shelly let me know when you book your flight.

[shellylh]

Hmm, I will be flying to Wisconsin in September... maybe I can get a layover in Chicago. 

[Voltron]

Dew Eet!  For lots of reasons...

[Absorbine_Sr]

If you come to Chicago Shelly either Bryan or Debbie and I could most likely put you up. Think about it. Lots to do here (Dreadnaught.....). 

[recstar24]

I'm going Friday !

[Wmcmanus]

I can never understand these kinds of things from a business perspective.  You're making money hand over fist.  Just have other people run the place for you, for fuck's sake.  It's not that hard.

I'm going Friday !

Ryan - what time? Work's getting in the way of my plans for today but Allison said that maybe we can go Friday. Would be great to see you.

That does sound like a good plan. I'll have to look into the details. It maybe difficult to do because I wont be paying for the flight.

I would think that if it was actually a highly profitable enterprise that he'd be able to find a buyer for the business.  My guess is that he's not making that much $$.  Given the short window of time that he's open the overhead might be killing him.  But I'm out of my league discussing stuff like this...

Argh... This!

[recstar24]

Probably 12:30-1 ish? Going to try and get out there ASAP!
