I have some business to attend to at the Daley Center in downtown Chicago that I can do Friday morning. Crash Bang, would you be able to do lunch Friday in the Loop, and how many people can be available?

Crash Band, I will email you directions.
prosecutor

they tell us to plan on being there from 9am to about 3 pm, so no, i wont be able to make lunch. but im glad to hear youre near public transport into downtown so i dont have to mess with driving and finding a parking garage
crash bang

i generally drive downtown since I so infrequently go there. i can work downtown until after 3 out of the office until you are done and then drive you back.

pros, i could meet you for lunch if you wish. when's the last time you ate at Perry's? c'mon man, give that lipotor something to really tug at! :)

thursday or friday or both works for me
crash bang

Dinner Thursday or Friday works for me too. Which date would draw a bigger crowd?

If you want a suggestion, for Thursday's dinner location, how about:

Tin Fish. just north of I-80 at Illinois Route 43, exit 148B, and go .8 mile to 18201 S. Harlem Ave, Tinley Park.

or

Venison fajitas at my house (just northeast of U.S. 30 and Wolf Road, Mokena, Illinois)
