Chicago has a rather advanced public transportation system; we should consider an L-friendly location. |

Can any poor slob collector attend or does one have to be a wealthy collector like Fogel or have a personal account with Mastronet or Lelands ??? |

EVERYONE is invited. Even poor slobs with no accounts anywhere. I will say this though. The folks that rsvp will get preferential treatment if there is a seating issue. I doubt there will be but it's only fair if you rsvp that you should get to sit first. IF you are a total lurker just email me privately and that will also count as an rsvp. But you will need to come out of the closet at the dinner....also, still looking for a little help in finding/picking a restaurant. Any Chicago area folks here ?? I will call and make the reservations but need some advice....regards |

i'm a local yocal...and i know of some good steak houses in rosemont...but i'm unsure what to recommend. we can do some good pizza, probably 20 minutes east of rosemont (lou malnatti's). i might even be able to reserve the downstairs...but this will be my first net54 dinner...so i'd rather go with the flow than set up the show. if you want my help...just ask. |

I vote pizza. Personally, steak houses do nothing for me and tend to be overpriced for what they offer. I'm one of these people that when I go out for an expensive meal, I want to eat something I am not going to prepare myself at home. So a steak or other piece of beef is the last thing I want. I like the fact that pizza is more casual and there won't be any knives for people to play with :-p |

what kind of barbarian uses a knife with pizza? It's finger food I prefer Chicago pizza to Chicago beef. I come from a family that raised cattle, so I've had more than my fair share of beef. But if it's steak everyone wants, I'll be there. |

We eat so much pizza around here I would vote not to do it. A medium nice steak dinner should be under $20.00 and I would hope if you are going to the National you can spare an extra $10 for a decent meal, since ANY meal is going to be close to $10 anyway. If there is an issue with that send me a private email and I will look into the "Luckey Loan Fund" and try to help. This should be a decent eatery imo, not high end but not a dive either....and not really a pizza joint. At least those are my thoughts.... |

In keeping with the baseball theme, there is a Harry Caray's in Rosemont, not far from the Convention Center. Great Steaks, Chicken, and Pasta dishes. |

I'm in, but Harry's is quite pricey (maybe a PSA-5 T206 common per head) with steaks starting at around $40 and I'm not sure they could handle such a large group. At the last National, basically every place within walking distance of the Convention was packed. |

Harry's has expensive dishes and affordable dishes. I haven't been to the one in Rosemont, but I'm assuming that it's large like the one downtown. The downtown location could handle a group of this size, and would probably reserve a whole room to accomodate it. I was hoping this location could do the same thing. |

But will there be an email sent to everyone letting them know when and where? I would hate to miss the chance at meeting many of you. By the way a buddy of mine will be joining us as well even though he hasn't voiced it yet. So I guess I'll say it - add another one more to my resevation. I'm looking forward to it. One more thing. If we go too far away will a cabby know where the place is if we need to take one? We won't be driving in so a car is something we won't have. |

IF Harry Carey's phone system was working correctly it would already be done. That is going to be the place most likely. I am waiting on a call back from the reservation's person right now. It is in Rosemont, has a wide assortment of dishes that are $8-$32 dollars (maybe a psa 2-4 T206 common), and it does fit in with baseball, Chicago, etc......and is close to the National. I should know in a little while. I will try to make the reservation from about 7pm-10pm to give us time to eat and all. I would guess socializing till 7:30-8:00 then ordering and eating....someone has to take this bull by the horns....hope that's ok with everyone...again, not a done deal but working on it...regards |

Are we allowed to bring wives who have absolutely no interest in cards? Mrs. Tbob is going with me and plans on doing a lot of shopping, museum sightseeing and spending in Chicago. She is a fun person but could care less about anything card related. Just wondered if anyone ever took their wives, girlfriends or escorts to the dinner? |
