There's a couple restaurants close by. The last couple years we have hung out at Hooters for a few hours friday night, then hanging out drinking in the parking lot and meeting people, etc. Saturday is like an all afternoon meet and photoshoot, then usually people of age go to a bar for a while, then maybe a strip club or whatever people want to do, the under 21 crowd usually heads off to do something as well, and we all usually end up back at the hotel drinking in the parking lot. Hotel does have a pool, I've never seen anyone use it though, they have been really cool with letting us hang out outside and not get hassled or anything. I believe there is a go-kart place nearby, but I've never been to it.

There is a group of MN guys driving and meeting up with a bunch of guys in Chicago I guess. I think they may drive to Chicago on wednesday or thursday evening, crash in chicago, then finish the trip the next morning.

(I'll be flying in most likely, as I'll be out of town a few days that week, and will fly from there straight to Ohio on thursday night)

If I'm able to swap my shifts at work, I can be counted "in". I'm still a newbie in comparison to most people on here, and can't help but feel a little like the class dork asking, "can I haaang out with you gouays?"

To add a little irony, I'm young but a total "dad", so I won't be gettin' smashed in any parking lots, getting body parts smushed in my face at a strip club, or flying down an interstate at 110mph. But, a beer or six, Hooters, and a couple late nights wouldn't hurt!

If I still may, who would I contact in the Chicago crowd about a meeting place/time? Driving with a group of guys sounds cool.

cool Matt, no worries, theres lots of noobs that come every year, its a great way to meet people. there are people that are up for doing anything, not everyone sticks together all the time, so there will be people wanting to go wherever and have a good time in the evening doing whatever they enjoy doing.

Not sure who you'd contact here, most of the guys I know are from the IS forums. I can keep you posted here about where they're meeting. I'm sure it will be in chicago somewhere but not sure when or exactly where yet.

I drove myself the first year I went, and knew nobody out there. I had a blast once I got there and met tons of cool people.

I posted this in the Chicago section also. I copied it from MY.IS and posted so there may be a few more interested over there. You guys should post over there also to see if we can get more interest. There are some very nice ISx50's in Chicago

Sounds good! Yeah--keep us posted, I'll keep checking the Chicago forum, too, though.

Thanks!
