So is everyone ready for the first great PLEBA convention? (may there be many more in the future :yes: )

We Twin Citians sure are getting excited. :D Should be a great weekend of fun times and hopefully we will make good memories and good friends. I think all the details are set. Lilly has done an excellent job of helming the planning and sorting. The hotel is booked...I'll be re-confirming with them today hopefully. Lots of fun party favors are being created...ooh yeah! And there's even a few local Chicago interferencer boys that are going to drop by and say hi hopefully (Foxxern and Dethveggy).

See you all in a few days!!!

THANKS to Lilly for doing so much work! We love you! :D
*packs bags early in anticipation*
 
YAAAAY!!

This is going to be SO MUCH FUN!!! Thanks to all those who helped this come together, especially Miss Lilly. All your hard work is about to pay off. :)

GAH! I can't wait for you guys to get here!!

*makes giant WELCOME TO CHICAGO BANNER*

*drapes it across Sears Tower and John Hancock Building*

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
As part of the Welcome Brigade, I echo Gina's sentiments. Bring on the PLEBAns!!!

:) By the way, I LOVE the "tragic" signature! As a recent first-time viewer of "Entropy," I can now fully appreciate it.
 
YAY YAY YAY CHICAGO
YAY!
that's all I have to say

sula, since you won't answer my pms, I'm just going to put some stuff on your cd and hope you like it :D

doh! :silent: bad sula busy sula. :huh: Well, what I meant to write back and say was that I don't have a computer and prolly won't be living in the country much for the next two or three years and have access to a good one...soooo...I dunno if I can even view yon lovely CD. All that to say, don't worry if you can't make one for me. I may not be able to give it proper usage anyways. :huh:
 
btw, anyone who thinks this might be fun, lemme know...but for those of you who really want to be there and can't, I was just thinking...we could call ya from the hotel room some evening and you could say hi to a big ol' bunch of PLEBANS. :D Ok, kooky idea perhaps, but it just struck me, so I thought I'd throw it out there. Actually, I intend to call zoney on my cell phone and have him say hi to all of you while we're there. :yes:
 
Here's a possibility for the group!

I have some friends in another U2 group who live in the Chicago area. A few of them are interested in getting together with us. We came up with meeting Friday night around 8:00 at Fado Irish Pub. Here is some info about it:

"An authentic Irish Pub ! Designed and built in Ireland; it was shipped to America in several different pieces. Three levels of ornate woodwork; level three is available for private parties. Food served includes Shepherd's pie and Irish stew."

I will be going to meet them and I hope a few others can join me. It's a pretty fun place, I've been there a couple times before.

The address is 100 West Grand (at the corner of Clark and Grand)

Also I thought any local Chicago Interferencers might want to join us there, too! Party, party!
 
That's a great idea about calling some of us!!! You've got my number now, sula! Don't forget about me!!!!!! :D

how old must you be? a couple of us (UNFOTUNATELY) are still 17.......
 
Have no fear!

From what I have been told, you do not have to be 21 to go to Fado. I think this is because it is also a resaurant and not just a bar. I know a 19-year-old who has been there with no problems. They just won't sell you any alcohol.

I will do some further checking, but I think we'll be jsut fine!:yes:

woo! sounds great....*packs more nice clothes*.....i guess i'll have to stray from my normal tshirt and jeans.....:sexywink:

i CAN'T WAIT!!!!

t minus an hour and a half and counting...........
 
oh, one more thing.

ladies, should I bring my vcr or not? It's pretty small and easy to hook up. I don't know if anyone is bringing vids or wants to watch some in the evenings, but I thought it would be worth tossing the idea out. I do have Outside It's America (soooo fun) and this awesome bootleg of Popmart Santiago. (Meringue and Ali Rose can back me up on this one...we died)

i think kristie was planning on bringing her vcr.....but bring those vids! i'm planning on bringing a couple of mine......the one bc sent me and maybe the tape of death....err....the vh1 special....(that one was for you, ellen :sexywink: )...so yeah....you may want to check with her though.......

see you tomorrow!!! :D :D :D
 
which Vh1 special? (just to make sure I don't bring the same stuff. lol)

Make sure that someone is definitely bringing a player if we're going to bother to bring vids. :yes:
 
Oh, sula. You have NO idea what you're in for. ;) I am bringing so very many videos... :D

Btw, I really don't think it's necessary to dress up to get into Fado's. I've never been there, but as far as I know it's pretty casual. :)

DOODS! TOMORROW!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
Just as long as we make it a point to sit down together and watch both WGRYWH and Numb and :drool: all at once. :yes:

:D

eeeeeeek, it's tomorrowwwww! :D:D:D:D

The "tape of death" (as laura so eloquently put it :)) has...ehm....
Leno from the day before Thanksgiving
VH1 Legends (w/the ATYCLB part)
Elevation Pre-show
The edited version of Boston (twice)
...and I think there might be something random at the end, but I can't remember...

And I think we're cramming Kristie's VCR into Lies' backpack.

Woo! Now the GRers are off to Indiana! *Hamish dance*
See you all tomorrow!!! :D
 
Then I'll be sure to bring the VH1 "Beautiful Day video premiere" special and some other fun things. :D
 
Ahhhhhhhhhg!

Oh yeah. Everyone has to see that Popmart video!!! *faints*

I am bringing my little SONY boombox so we can play some tunes.

And just for fun...I have a U2 Karaoke disk with 10 songs on it. This might be pretty amusing. :lol:

Fado is a casual place, no need to dress up. You certainly can if you want to.:cute:
