US: Midwest Chicago Mini GTG, Sunday January 6th - CANCELED

[Eilif]

UPDATE Planning has begun for Spring GTG.
US: Midwest - 2019 Chicago Spring GTG. Date Poll is up!
Please head on over and vote for potential dates.

UPDATE 1/3: January GTG Canceled due to low interest. Will begin planning the Chicago Spring GTG in a week or so.

Sounds great!

I'll research my calendar!

All dates good for me except Dec 16. No shave/haircut. But I'm *always* up to TalkBass!

 

[MattLplaysBass]

Sounds good to me. I don’t think I’d be down for the barber.

I could do amy of the dates in December or January, and would be fine wirh the $12 cover charge. I’d also be good with helping with set up and tear down.

One thing of note- December 16 is Bears vs Packers, and knowing @basspraiser ’s allegiances, things might get heated

 

[Eilif]

Looking at schedules and holidays I decided to narrow it down to the first 3 Sundays in January. I've added a poll to that effect. Please vote for whatever days you can attend.

Finally- I feel like my vote counts for something

Hey Folks,
I'm bumping this to see if there is any more interest. If we don't get near 20 people interested ahead of time then I'm going to just close this up and wait until 2019 when I'll start planning the April GTG.

 

[GregC]

Just saw this, Karl. I'm definitely interested. I voted for 1/6 but should be available the other two dates as well.

 

[Eilif]

Thanks GregC,
Still not much interest but we'll see what happens.
As a backup, now I'm considering doing a small gathering at my house (a stone's throw from last year's location) and then everyone heading over to Lou Malnati's. I don't have a ton of space, but I could probably accommodate 12-15 people. We'll see what shakes out.

 

[eli]

I'd be down for that, too. Let me know what I can do/bring to help out.

 

[Eilif]

Good to know Eli.

If I do the house gathering it would still probably be one of those days on the poll so folks can keep voting for all the days they would be available.

 

[Gearhead17]

I can do January 6 & 20, not the 13th. I will gladly pay. Sorry for the delay on my end. I am glad the dates were changed. Lou Malnati's afterwards and a smaller event sounds awesome! I am not interested in a haircut or shave.

I would like to attend, but that time of year the weather can be very unpredictable as like last April when we up here woke to an Ice storm.
Would like to be kept in the loop for your spring fling weather permitting I would like to attend

The only day that might be tough is the 13th

 

[gkbass13]

I can make it!

Same here

 

[Eilif]

Thanks for the input folks,
At this time, with only 5 folks signed up for any particular day it's looking more like the Jan GTG will be at my place. I'll let everyone know the where and when this weekend.

Scoop-n-Duke,
I'll post an update to this thread (and probably last year's GTG thread) with a link to the April GTG thread when it goes up.

 

[Eilif]

All right,
Big change of plans. Switching this to a mini GTG at my place for Jan 6th. Will update the first post with information.

 

[GregC]

Sign me up! I'm in. Thanks for hosting, Karl.

Oh, and I'm happy to bring whatever is needed most.

 

[eli]

I'm in too! Let me know what I can bring.
