Good question, is anyone still interested?

I'm interested, but I think it would be unwise of me to commit to help plan it at the moment.

No problem, what if we just started here with ideas? Which anyone could contribute?

Ok, here's my idea.
We keep it as absolutely anonymous as possible. Which may make staying at the same place completely optional.
I'd like to go as Dinah. My husband would never let me go as anyone else.

But money might be needed for a deposit on a reservation or something, so I might need to ask for checks?

although since i'm not opposed to Babble for fee, it must mean I trust you.
I hope you're properly honored.

I'm still up for it and wanting to help plan. Should we decide upon a venue first? Just as a central meeting place?
And yes, I would be willing to offer a deposit to secure a location.
I would be happier to keep it anonymous.

Great, that makes sense to me...

I just wanted to pop in somewhere in this thread....
My circumstances are too subject to factors that I can't control, and as a result, I cannot commit to coming to the gathering. I would like to come, but I may not know if I even can come, until even a week before it is scheduled.
I like that it's going ahead.

I was thinking we could have a central meeting place - what do people think about
a meeting hall like a VFW or Legion? ($)
or
a more formal room like for a party in a hotel? ($$$)I assuming this will be a very casual meeting, or will we have to arrange for the crowns for the King and Queen of Babble to be commissioned?

What about burgers (including veggie burgers) and dogs at an outdoor site. Maybe a picnic?

May I suggest the Lincoln Park area if anyone is interested in drinks and/or dining in the evening?
I've seen many different suggestions, but is there a clear consensus on what everyone would like to do?

I think a park is a great place to gather together and have a picnic. I guess I was thinking of quirky Chicago weather (having been surprised a couple of times there) and having a place where we can officially loiter.

There are some great spots on Lake Michigan, if you can wait until the weather gets less quirky. (May?) I live too far away so I can't come, but I did go to school there so I know the lay of the land a bit.

Um, yeah, if we can ever figure out which way is forward! So far I think we are having a picnic at a park in Chicago around the 10th of June for Babble's birthday.

Can I suggest if you decide to have it outside, that you not disclose the exact location publically? Perhaps only disclose it to those who have paid via some method which ID's them to Dr. Bob? Sorry to be the house worrier.
99.9% of the people I've met online are great....but just to be on the safe side, I think it would be best if it was kept confidential.
Additionally, who wants a photo taken of the group taken and posted on the web somewhere? Bob HAS kinda ticked off a few people over the years (sorry Bob....I'm sure you have more fans than foes).
Since I'm not attending, I shouldn't have a voice....but I will be the official party worrier.

Ooh oooh, good worrying, TE! I never thought about that. Yucko, imagine our event being invaded by trolls!
And did we talk about a group picture? Yikes, so much for privacy. Maybe we could all hold Dr. Bob pictures in front of our faces?
Still in favor of the gathering, but feeling a bit nervous about privacy.

We could also just hire a private security person?
