    Fantastic, I'm counting six folk so far.

    Do we have a preference on where to meet, or I should ask is anyone vehemently against meeting on the smoking tent at Pheasant Run?
    The hielan' man he wears the kilt, even when it's snowin';
    He kens na where the wind comes frae,
    But he kens fine where its goin'.

    Honestly, a smoking tent wouldn't work for me. Pheasant Run appears to have a regular lounge/bar.

    Is that cool with folks?

    For whatever it's worth, I've spoken with McNally's and they'd be happy to have us. It's just down the road about 3 miles in the middle of town, just west of the river.

    I'm fine with wherever and whenever, my wife wanted to know if it's a wives too event as she hates being the lone wife, just need to make sitter arrangements if she is attending.

    So where we meeting? The run or the pub? And what time? I am wanting to get some time in the albannach casual kilt, I got it just before winter and want to get some time in it

    @Jordan, what time do you think they show will wind down? Maybe 5 is a good meeting time?

    The show officially closes at 5pm so anytime after that is fine with me.

    Mcnallys is apparently closing its doors on May 4th for a conversion to a hipster bar... Might be nice to see the place one last time, but will it be fully stocked or running a skeleton crew and bare bar?

    Yikes! This escaped me. There are other options in town. Let me make a few calls this afternoon and see about one of those places. Stay tuned.

    Visited Chicago just a few days ago. Was delighted to find Miller's Pub just under the orange line train stop at Adams and Wabash. It's worth checking out while you're sight seeing.
