> Another thing to look into is what events could take place for the get together- fun things to do,
The Art Institute? Museum of Contemporary Art? The Field Museum? There is a river tour guided by the Architectural Society that is way cool (OK, so I'm a museum person...)
> maybe find a nice hotel that's nt too pricey that we could all stay and have a bar to schmooze in,
Maybe we can negotiate a group rate if there are enough of us coming in from out of town?
> a restaurant to eat in and somethings close by to look into (sporting events, a play, museums)...
Food, mmmm. Chicago blues music, mmm.
> another idea is to address some good issues to talk about- maybe assign a few attendees to getting something together... like a slideshow of pictures that different babblers could send in (even ones that couldn't make it)... someone could gather good stories about how Babble ha helped them through bad times and good friends that they have met...
It sounds like a great party :)
> maybe a poetry slam for those on the writing board... a book gathering- meaning babblers could bring books with thier favorite excerpts that they find meaningful, moving, helpful, specific to certain mental health issues...
>
> And of course a party! food music maybe raffle prizes a comedian (I think we should all give stand up a try- we all have SUCH good material- it's obvious we are a funny crew :) )
>How about nominations for a Best Thread or Post of The Year?
> I think it would be wise to keep it all on a positive note, seeing that we'll be travelling for this, we all want something positive to look forward to....
>I agree!
Who wants to come to the party?
