Some of us local Chicago area split bus guys are kicking around the idea of an informal get together this January.
PM or post here if you are interested in coming out of hibernation for an afternoon of buses and good cheer.
Bus driving on salted roads is at your own discretion.

Neil

I think Schaumburg is a pretty good neutral site, at least between Jack, NP and I.

Maybe we could get together at RAM or Buffalo Wild Wings?

Hey Josh,
Thanks for the reply. I am fine with Schaumburg as a location and with RAM of B-WW, the beers are cold and the food choices are good.

Cheers,
N.

Less than a month to go and 188 views in the forums. How about a shout out from folks planning on rolling out so we know how many tables we need to reserve.

to any chicago area split bus guys ive got a friend in marketing that asked me to see if anyone in that area would be interested in their bus being used in an marketing campain. i dont have the details of what it will involve but i believe you will be paid for the bus usuage and possibly your drive time. my friend is out of town right now till after the new year. im/we are located in florida. so when he gets back i should get some more details on it. its suppose to be in the spring if it happens and i think he was looking for like 15-20 buses for this marketing project. if you are interested please pm me or if you know someone that maybe interested. like i said as soon as i know more i will post it.
sorry for the high jack but i though this would be a great place to ask about it.
thanks for you time

Looks like we will only need one table though I am sure everyone in Chi-town is getting antsy from being inside so much for the past few really cold days.

See you guys next Saturday.
