We are going to go to Chicago......

Vicky Vette
Sara Jay
Siri
Deauxma

Confirmed so far.... not sure about the rest of the girls yet...

No wrestling but with no show with Adultcon until 2014 and our decision not to get a booth at the next AVN, we are heading to Chicago this year to test the waters.....

Anyone interested in heading there?

Considering I live here and have the advantage,I would be willing to help with set up and be a "booth bitch" if necessary. I'm not sure about Carmen,it depends on what she has planned,but if she doesn't make it,I'm offering my services to whichever VNA lady needs it. Putting it out there first. Transportation shouldn't be a problem for me this time around. I'll keep my eye out and make sure I take those days off work to help out.

Biggest question Byron... is there a Saddleback type place for a large gathering of peeps on Sunday night?

Lemme know....

This sounds awesome! Definitely want to go to this. Ill see if I can make it happen! Should be a fun time for everyone who makes it;)

Awesome sauce,Carmen! If you do go,that would be sweet! It'll be nice to hang with you again and be your "booth bitch"! We'll be in touch about this. Rokkerr,I'm sure there is something like Saddleranch,depends on the area and how many people. Are you looking for something in that area or farther out? Let me know and I'll see what I can do to help you out there.

I hear from Gabby Quinteros that she is IN.... that makes 5 so far.....

I imagine Byron something close to the convention or something super cool in the city.... I don't know Chicago...
House of Blues maybe?

I am in! I want to taste the biggest, fattest hot dog chicago has to offer lol

I have always wanted to see Chicago. Hhhmmmmmm

Rokkerr,if you want to do House of Blues,that is possible. It's in Downtown Chicago,and as long there isn't a concert that day,you should be fine. The food is really good there,affordable. There is also a bowling place across from it,if anyone is interested in that. That's a little pricey,but just putting it out there. They do have glow in the dark bowling,if anyone is interested. CGYMike,you'll like it here,during the summer is one of the better times to visit and sightsee Chicago. Any questions let me know,I can give you some suggestions on where to go and what to do depending on when you come out and for how long. Consider me a Chicago hook-up,if you will,to you guys.

Gabby,that won't be a problem for you,lol! I can help you out with that,and you'll have an original "Chicago Style" Hot Dog,the way it's supposed to be done.

What exactly is a chicago style hotdog? I'll put that on my list of things to do as well!

.... a wild guess?!

A Chicago Style hotdog is an all beef frankfurter on a poppy seed bun,with mustard,chopped onions,sweet pickle relish,dill pickle spear,tomato slices,sport peppers and celery salt. You will enjoy it,Vicky! Also,people in Chicago do not put ketchup on hot dogs. If you ask for ketchup,you will be laughed at and looked at crazy. Just kidding. They'll probably give it to you separately.

there's the Gibson's steakhouse right in front of the stephens convention center, that is where google maps street view takes me when i type in the address posted in the 1st post of this thread.

36$ for their cheapest cut of steak, but most better cuts start at 50$+

expensive but not bad if you take the cheapest which is still steak. After a long weekend, if you want to splurge, why not.

There's no dress code. Except no sleeveless shirts.

Hmmmm, I just might have to look into a trip to Chicago this July.

Sounds awesome Byron! Take away the onions and it's perfect! I must partake!

Looking forward to meeting some VNA'ers for the first time!

I agree...no ketchup on hotdogs !! Ketchup is only allowed on the plate if french fries are involved and only if the fries are dipped...not the dog !!!

You can order it without onions,although that's what gives it a little extra kick. I can't wait for you to enjoy it! I'll have to have my camera ready for you when you eat it,lol!

i hear to get rid of onion breath you can put them in vinegar, we used to do that when i was a kid in the summer but i dont remember if it worked.

its been way too long since i was a kid and i can't remember that far

i'm gettin oldmanitis , gonna need to have the dr check that out

Color me thrilled that the VNA will be out in force in my backyard this coming July. It was a blast to meet Sara Jay and Sunny a few years back and I can't wait to meet Vicky, Gabby, Siri, and whomever else will hopefully be in town for Exxxotica.

Pretty much across the street from the convention center (easy, easy walking distance) is a fairly new development that features all sorts of restaurants.

See here: http://www.rosemont.com/the_park_at_rosemont.php

There's a little of everything there and probably any of them would be fit to handle a large group.

Seriously cannot wait. If there is anything I can do to help out, please let me know!
