THE CHICAGO GROUP FIRST MEET N GREET.

Hello all

I hope everyone had great holiday filled with joy, family and food...lol Well just wanted to get a meet n greet started for the Chicago group. I know of a nice pool hall off of randulph near greektown. its nice and clean and not no ghetto pool hall. we can meet there, have a drink and also have some food and of course play pool or in my case pretend like im playing pool. The place is called G cue and if we do it on a friday or saturday night we can also walk to the near nite clubs , there are a few near there. Ok so i just wanna get feed back from others, i also would like to know of any ideas you may have . know of any other fun places? or great ideas of how we should meet ? let me know.

Rick

On a side note...question for anyone...is there a difference between NSHP & HispanicPro? I'm new to both, and it looks like they are the same. Just curious as to why they wouldn't be consolidated to 1 site.; ▶ Reply to This

Also, a pool hall sounds good; it's different and also works as a fun ice breaker activity. What's the parking situation? Is the venue willing to give us our own area or will we be mixed in with the regular crowd? Will we need a minimum of participants? Lastly, would it possibly be better to have it on a Thursday? In my experience, Friday and Saturday are prime "going out" days and people often have commitments. Just my thoughts...; ▶ Reply to This

Thank you for your reply and questions. ok this much i know , the parking is street parking, randolph st you should be able to fine a spot. you can google G cue billiards and there site looks good. i know of a certain fee we can reserve a spot for us with catered food or we can do ala cart . i think and im too sure yet but i think we can have a spot for us in the lower level. i know fridays and saturdays are busy times , just figured if we all have a good time we can all go to the nearest club on lake st. just a idea. ok the club is on morgan st between lake st and randolph. I tried doin a xmas gathering with my co workers and i believe with catering an pool use it was coming out to be something like 20 bucks a person. i might be wrong.; ▶ Reply to This

I do not know the place called G but give me the address and I see if I can attend- If some one has better suggestions I am always open to meet people-Last year I used to be the operation field Manager for (singles ) for a company from Toronto Canada. The "ice breker" game is very easy to when you have already the group. I can send you different games and links for anyone to enjoy, even if I am not there.

I'm game for what ever the majority decides. by the way great initiative Rick.; ▶ Reply to This
