You are welcome to join our small group for lunch on Saturday, at the Rock Bottom Brewery, on the west side of the Yorktown shopping mall. They have very good burgers and EXCELLENT micro-brew beer.
Thank you for the invite. I will take you up on that
Of course we'll be there with the Magazine and running the contest. Stop by our tables and say hello!
Hmmm maybe!!
Stacey, you should totally come, itll be awesome. Chicago on St Patricks day none the less
I will be there, just received confirmation of registration.

Hi Matt,
Is there a link that you can provide that gives dates, times and location? I would take Amtrak in if getting to the event from Union Station is doable...Thanks.
Try this www.marchmeet.net
The meet is at/in the Westin Lombard Hotel, at the Yorktown Center. Getting there from Chicago Union Station might not be all that difficult, as there is a METRA station not that far away. For additional information/questions you can phone (630) 745-7600.
I'll be there, I'm really looking forward to it.
I plan to be there. This is the best O Scale Show in the country in terms of variety and quantity in my opinion. It has a large number of dealers and private individuals selling stuff that we all need!
Not sure, I will think about it.
Right in my own backyard and I've never been. Maybe this year!?

trust me id love to come check it out!! Its not THAT FAR for me! haha. I might make it work!! Just hard time of season. hahaha
SCALE CITY DESIGNS will be there as well. We will be in our usual position right by the front door. Come and see us as we will have some new products available as well as reintroducing some items that haven't been available for awhile.
For all those that are unsure about going to this show how can you get any better than this: tons of O Scale, St Patrick's Day in Chicago, Chicago deep dish pizza, and Chicago style hot dogs and Italian beefs.
We haven't been there and we are thinking about going. I just mapped it and it closer then Dupage, so it should be an hour drive for us.
Jim, can I visit my CNW passenger cars?
Matt you are always welcomed to visit them!!!

I'm going for the first time. We're probably going to fly in. Table is bought and paid for. We're supposed to be placed next to the Jakls. They will be selling some of Lou's remaining collection.
Jay
I'll be there!

Jeff, just because the Cubs ended the greatest streak in major league sports now you too?
Yes, I am going. Am looking forward to the various allurements Satan will place before me, for my temptation.
I don't think those temptation will send you to hell!!!!
Wouldn't miss it.

Gee, thanks! I had this silly idea that the one that Melissa handed me might actually be good to share....
Then again, a new one just arrived in the mail....
I plan on being there with 2 tables of stuff to sell, structures and cars that have been either featured in O Scale Trains, or just somewhere in a forum in a universe far, far from here. I'll also have a full selection of back issues of the magazine and will be taking are of that business as well.
Stop by and say hello!
I would like to meet you Martin, not sure if I can make it. Jefferson and crew will be there.
Ed it would be nice to see you again. So tempting to make it this time around.
Be there or be square!

I'll get my shots and you'll be safe, 
Usually in a one far corner near a door where I can make my escape when the authorities come looking.....
Ok Martin!

Erik from Midwest Model Works might pull me towards the dark side with his SD45.

I plan to be in the Denver area in June, Erik, as long as that does not conflict with the O Scale Nat'l that's also scheduled to take place in June.
Eric,
I'll be in Chicago, made reservations yesterday. Short flight for you. Buy you dinner.
Dick
I will be there, it's been a couple years so I'm really looking forward to it.
John
I will be attending this year, Lombard is my neighbor town so I don't have much of an excuse not to go.
