Chicago on NYE? GTG?

[llsteve80]

By now, you all know this is a big deal for me. Tomorrow, I will be checking in to the hyatt regency on wacker, and attending the NYE ball on, umm, NYE. This is going to be a bash, 4500 people! Yikes. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else from the area, or travelers are going to be around. Maybe we can have an impromptu get together. Flash some reps, drink some booze...whatever. If this sounds cool, shoot me a PM, I'll give you my gmail address to my BB, and we'll take it from there.

Wow, that sounds like a blast. I did one of those big parties at a hotel a few years ago, and it's just too much excitement for me. Our new tradition is throwing a party for friends at our house. Some people use it as a launch point for going downtown, some people as an alternative, and some as a place to go after the ball drops. Anyone in the Austin, TX area feel free to drop a line and get directions.

I will be working in the Emergency Department one of the busiest trauma centers in the Chicago area on New Year's Eve. Dare I say I hope I don't see you.

Happy and Safe New Year

I hope I don't see you either.... What do you do there?

I just stayed downtown at the Wyndham Hotel on St Clair for a few days, but am back with the inlaws in Oak Brook for two days before returning to Seattle on Wednesday. Enjoy the downtown festivities, have a drink on behalf of all your RWG friends.... and above all, stay safe.

Have a good time. I just sold my house downtown and had a quick closing, with nowhere to go. I am unfortunately stuck in the suburbs tonight in Glenview as a result. Happy New Year to you and all the other members.

Done the big downtown party thing many times, over it.

We're hanging out in our vacation home in Indiana, 2 blocks from Lake Mich.

The two of us will have a nice dinner, some champagne. Maybe a walk along the lake afterwards. Doubt if we'll see the fireworks at Navy Pier from our shore since it's so overcast and humid today.

Happy New Year to everyone, enjoy and be safe.

Well, it was a total blast, it seemed the whole hotel was a big ass party. Unfortunately, I got "lucky." When I woke up in the morning the girls were gone and it appears they liked my watches and wallet and decided to keep them. Other than that it was a riot.
