Dan are you bringing your children with you?

Sadly no. I kind of wish we were but OTOH I'm not sure my wife would deal better with caring for two 1-year-olds out of a hotel room while I'm in meetings than she can at home with a friend staying with her to help out.

I didn't figure you would but I had to ask. USA Playdate FAP will have to wait for another day.
Where are you staying?

Intercontinental Chicago Magnificent Mile

That's not a great week for us for evening gatherings because I've got two work-related events already happening, but are you available for lunch at all?
― from batman to balloon dog (carl agatha), Thursday, 5 March 2015 17:31 (nine years ago) link
Probably? Depends on what meetings people throw onto my calendar once I get there (I know of two that are yet to be scheduled). Right now it looks like Wednesday afternoon is completely open, which of course means that's going to be the day everyone wants to meet all day.

I'll definitely be in the office on Wednesday, and will plan to come in Tuesday and Thursday, too, so if you're up for lunch, holler when you know your schedule and we'll meet somewhere near where you're working. gr8080 and NA work downtown, and I can usually talk Jesse into lunch if he's not too busy.
(Is your ILX mail accessible? I'll send you my contact info.)

I would show up to go swimming but I will be swimming in Hawaii. But srsly if not I would probably leave right now to join you all in swimming and destroying DJPs deposit on his hotel room.
