Oh cool, we got a crowd. So, how about April12th? I'm hoping it will be a bit warmer. Intlset , i just turned 30 , so don't feel left out.

Yes, downtown (Michigan Avenue) for sure.

I have one vote for April 11. We could even do the first Saturday in May (May 3rd) if people want to wait until it warms up. Anyone else have a preference on the date?

boxermom · Mar 4th, 2008, 01:57 PM

OK, I don't live there anymore, so my opinions should carry little weight with the majority who live there, but here's my thought: since winter seems to be so long this year, would May 3rd be a good idea? Weather can't be predicted of course; just thinking it's likely to be nicer.

Whatever date you select, if I can come, I'd love to join you.

boxermom, I agree that May 3 would be a better date but whatever is more convenient for the majority here!

Chi town Chanel · Mar 4th, 2008, 03:34 PM

OK, I think we should go with May 3rd. Hopefully it will be a bit warmer by then. Please speak up and let me know if that doesn't work.

The plan was to meet on Saturday morning for coffee at a Starbucks on Michigan Avenue, then hit some shops. I'm not sure if the Starbucks near Garrett's is going to reopen, but there is a large brand new Starbucks by the Intercontinental (accross the street from Nordstrom). Other than that, are there any opinions on where to meet?

I'd like to join in, if that's o.k. - sounds like fun! and a Saturday morning would be great...

No one has replied to this, IntlSet. Honestly, I'll probably be the oldest there. At our Charlotte get together, we had 11 members, ranging from early 20's, 30-ish, 40's, early 50's, to myself (63). But get me on Michigan Avenue and I'll keep up with everyone!!

intheevent · Mar 4th, 2008, 09:47 PM

I would like to join. If that's ok, I mostly lurk but I have been waiting for Chicago to pop up. If I don't have to work I can meet up. Keep me posted!

missjenny2679 · Mar 4th, 2008, 09:59 PM

Count me in!! I am 28

I'm excitd to meet some new shopping friends!!

missjenny2679 · Mar 4th, 2008, 10:02 PM

The real question will be....what bag will I carry

Blue824 · Mar 5th, 2008, 01:01 AM

If I can make it, I definitely would like to. I don't have a date preference, that time of year is going to be pretty busy for me, but closer to the time I will have a better idea of how things are looking for me.

Kelly100 · Mar 5th, 2008, 11:07 AM

The May 3rd date sounds good, but as long as I don't have something come up at work, my schedule is pretty easy.

Oh! and I'm 41 (but very immature, lol!)..
