We can also host this at my place in Schaumburg. I have done many meets at my place last summer, one of the best ones we did was an AMG meet, all the friends and customers brought thier Mercedes AMG rides. Plus every thurs. nights is DJ night so we host it that night. Beside its a little bigger then Dhuwans.

Dates... I haven't been hearing anything against July, only things against having it before July. So it's a good possibility. Besides, gives me time to come up with funds to rent a car to get my happy ass down there.

You've got to be 24 or 25 to rent a car, I think.

I thought it was 21 but under a certain age (maybe 24 or 25) you are required to get insurance.

Anyway July would probably be a good time for me.

i'm pretty sure MOST car rental places, the age restriction is usually 25, some places allow 21-24 year olds to rent, but you end up getting raped with extra charges that aren't neccessary, which it then can end up costing alot just to rent a car...

correct, as a 24 year old who just rented a car for a work trip, i can tell you they will charge an extra insurance fee that makes the price almost half again higher than what it is for people 25 and over.

Ive never been to Chicago, so Im looking forward to this. While im out that way, I want to check out Fermilab. If any Physics nerds out there would like to extend the trip for a bit to see a big assed particle accelerator, we should do that as well.

Anyway... what is the interest in having a jam session out there? If nobody wants to do that, then the Schaumburg place sounds better, but if there are musicians out there, the Dhuwans place sounds pretty rad.

Wonder if it's possible I could get my parents to do the renting for me... I have to rent if I'm going anywhere, because they won't let me use their car. (aka the only reliable car in our fleet of 6... We get emotionally attached to our vehicles *shrug*)

My piano isn't very mobile, but if there is one at the place we're going to then I'll bring some sheet music smile.gif

fermilab isn't much, or atleast what they let you see isn;t much. most of the stuff is underground, all they will let you see is the prairie and some buffalo

I don't really want to vote. Any time around then would be awesome for me. I just need the notice to take off work for a few days. Working at a bar and going to school online has its perks.

My preference would be for end of may though... thats just because I don't like waiting. Edited by JesusDoesVegas
