Chicago Spring Meetup

particulardude · 03-15-2015, 03:38 PM

You guys should keep an eye on this for the next date - http://www.rise-and-drive.com/event/

Fahrvergnügen · 03-15-2015, 04:01 PM

Looks like we are getting quite a few Sunday only members, at least 6 or 7. I am all for more attendees to the meet up so let me ask this question:

For those coming out Saturday, April 11, how many could not make it Sunday April 12?

If there aren't that many people that care to change to Sunday then I will move it.

As for a May meet, I'm all for that; however, the Autobahn CC is having a car show out at their track May 16th. I know it's a bit of a trek but it should be worth going. http://savethedate.windycitybmw.com/car-show/

Also, I am awaiting Rise & Drive to post their dates, as well. I didn't go to any last year because I found out about them kinda late in the game. Looks fun and much closer than most suburban meets.

Can anyone here do coding or recommend somewhere to go for that?

Sunday works too.

Yes I can arrange for coding, depending on the date. I should be ok for Sunday April 12th if its around the same time.

Schmohawk33 · 03-16-2015, 07:02 PM

I can make it on Sunday also.

In order to accommodate more people, the date of the Spring meetup has been changed to Sunday, April 12 @ 10am. I haven't heard anyone say they could not make Sunday so I hope this doesn't leave anyone out who were planning to join.

Me too. Leaving town for a conference, and my car will probably come in that week too most likely, as it's just waiting for a boat.

gazosnic · 03-20-2015, 08:05 PM

Thanks for moving to Sunday. Looking forward to it.

marrk · 03-20-2015, 10:47 PM

If my car arrives by them, I'm in.

drmts · 03-21-2015, 10:28 PM

Appreciate the update on the change of date. I have to work Sunday so can't make it, but look forward to meeting up with everyone for the next one.

Hey, really sorry to have to change the date after you replied 'yes'. Seems a good amount of people are free Sunday compared to Saturday. Hopefully, we will see you out at the Autobahn car show, Rise and Drive, or another BimmerPost meet.

Looking forward to this! I'll inform @chitownbimmer instagram page for this event.

ucla95 · 03-24-2015, 09:19 AM

lunch at a spot in River North or South Loop?

bmwMcrzy · 03-24-2015, 09:22 AM

I'm down but what restaurants will have parking for maybe 20+ cars?
West Loop is another option.
Jason's Deli on Roosevelt comes to mind.

Good point. Parking in the West loop is usually a biatch, especially for 20+ cars. Another option is the North / Sheffield parking lot where Best Buy is located, i believe there are a few restaurants around the larking lot.

Anyone else know a good spot?

bmwMcrzy · 03-24-2015, 10:12 AM

That Best Buy parking lot is usually packed.
There's also Connie's on Archer.
