Here’s the information for the Midwest Meetup.
(Thanks, maryb, for doing the planning)

Midwest Meetup
October 7, 2006
Chicago, Illinois

CAF CHICAGO ARCHITECTURE RIVER CRUISE
10:30 A.M.

Meet at 10:30 at the SE corner of the Michigan Avenue Bridge and Wacker under the blue awning.  This event costs $27.00 and you need to buy your own tickets.  Advance purchase is recommended. The River Cruise starts at 11:00 and lasts 90 minutes.

PICNIC IN MILLENIUM PARK
2:00 P.M.

Meet at 2:00 p.m. at the Park Café.  Bring your own picnic or you can purchase a “picnic bag to go” at the Park Café.  

If you have ideas about the picnic portion, please post them here. If rain is predicted we’ll skip the picnic and meet for lunch somewhere – probably the Park Grill next to the Park Café. We should have a better idea about the weather that week so we can alert everyone to the plan.

A number of us are going to arrive on Friday and leave on Sunday.  Ideas about what to do with the rest of our time are welcome.

The cheapest rates in downtown Chicago we could find were at the Congress Hotel. There are lower rates around O’Hare and Midway and if you stay in that area, you can take the train into town.

So who is coming?
