Besides, why would you want to hang out with a couple of guys twice your age?

Lesson learned: Someone is always going to be left out in the cold.Can anyone say "BCS", "NCAA Basketball Championships", "College World Series".

And GG, Chi-town is the place as you can party with the "CHAMPS" of the NY-Chicago grudge match instead of the "CHUMPS". Never really enjoyed partying with losers. Not to mention we're all hoping C-Money shows up next year instead of getting Sean Salisbury to call in and draft for him.

Next year in Chicago Don Thompson, Rick , Billy and I are doing a golf outing on Friday morning as well as the 2nd annual Friday night hold-em tournament. We had about 9 or 10 guys last year.

So what do you think. Want to try a new city next year?????????????

to be honest, all the cities have their advantages and disadvantages.

vegas advantages - gambling, greg buying beers, ufs buying dinner, went there last two nffc's, friends

vegas disadvantages - costs (plane ride, parking, hotel, gambling), jetlag, need to take a few days off from water delivery job

ny advantages - no costs (plane ride, parking, hotel, gambling), no jetlag, friends, only need to take off 1 day from water delivery job

ny disadvantages - cost of amtrak ticket

chicago advantages - no gambling costs, friends

chicago disadvantages - "fun" factor of the city seems to be the lowest of all three

am i missing anything?

To support Chicago a little, I think their "fun factor" is right up there with NY (obviously Vegas is the most "fun", but it is also without question the most costly (for us "east coasters" anyhow- and especially with the gambling). I was in NY in 2004, and the hotel cost (along with parking) was the reason I didn't go back. Cost to to fly to Chicago (and stay an extra night) was actually about the same. Oh wait, that is because I stopped in Atlantic City on the way back! :rolleyes:

I did hang out in downtown Chicago on Sunday, and even though I was going "solo", I thought it was a GREAT city! The pizza (Lou Malnati's) and Garrett's carmel corn is worth the trip alone. Hopefully this year the Cubbies will be playing at home on the weekend, as I would love to go to Wrigley.

Don, Joe, and I did go to Harrah's in Joliet (about a 40 minute drive from the Marriott), and even though you had to pay $5 to get in (thanks again Don), we all walked out with $$ so that was a bonus.

Add in the Texas Hold Em game on Friday after the auction, and I think Chicago has enough "fun" to satisfy you Gekko.

Hopefully Rick, Jeff, DOn, Big Mike, GLY, etc. and everyone I missed can stick around in Sunday this year!!!
