Hey any PBHers currently in Chicago...

Hi:

I live in Chicago (Lincoln Park) and saw your post. I usually just read what people say. I travel to Bogota for business and pleasure every six months. Lots of stories to tell! I'd love to join your party...

Take care,

Milanojps

I live in Chicago too and have been to Colombia 4 times. Similar to milanojps I don't comment much on the forums, unless I have a specific travel question. The multi-cultural BBQ sounds fun!

Everyone is invited, but umm..if people are going to be flying in for this I think I need to do some major work here I would not want to disappoint. Maybe some flame throwers, belly dancers, at least a band.

So far I got Chi, Milan, MDEtraveller and Gomez all on the list and waiting for further details.

Yeah go bears... We actually have tickets for oct bears v steelers. I am pretty excited.

dwmte7... Thanks for the suggestion but no thanks. I actually already have met, several times, the couple we speak of, actually just the male half. I used to have a membership to the club they "work out" at. Hardly anyone really uses this club for reasons other than social. Chicago people, you know which I am talking about.
