WI / IL ZUG Meeting

[derekp]

I\'ll be there too. I just got my SL-5600 last month and am a relative novice to the platform. Also, if I have to haul out to Schaumburg from Evanston, I\'ll for sure be eating at the Todai sushi buffet  at Woodfield Mall while I am out there. Anyone else interested in that afterwards?

I think they close just after the lunch hour (arounc 2:00/2:30 or so), and re-open around dinnertime.  If we\'re meeting at the coffeehaus at 1 - 1:30, we won\'t make it to todai in time.  However, there is an excellent Thai restaurant a few doors down from CoffeeHaus.

The hours posted on their website list Sunday 1pm - 11pm. So it appears we\'ll be ok, always good to have a backup plan tho

Which web site did you look at?  According to http://www.todai.com/pages/todai/generalinfo/hours.htm lunch is 11:00am to 2:30pm and dinner is 5:00 to 9:00pm.  I called the schaumburg number, and they confirimed this.

If you want another good sushi place, if you go north-east, to algonquin and arlington hights road, there is Mitsua Maketplace (an asian grocrie store), which has packaged sushi available (fresh and cheap too) and a food court (with other japanese dishes) to eat in.  Also, there\'s another sushi restaurant on 53 & algonquin.

lol, the problem is not what website I looked at, but that I didn\'t read the previous poster\'s and your message carefully!  :oops:

I thought you were saying the CoffeeHaus was closed during those hours.

Never mind...

BTW, now that I actually read the posting instead of glancing at them, I\'d be  up for Thai (or sushi)

Well, I have a particular Todai jones (I can only eat there when I get to the west coast or to Schaumburg, which happen with about equal frequency) but that needn\'t bog down the discussion here. I\'ll probably go there for lunch before the meeting then.

I\'m pretty new to the platform, so I\'ll have lots of things I want to learn from y\'all! I\'ve never flashed my ROM yet, so I might do that Sunday. I like that having free WiFi we should be able to download packages and images and generally go crazy. Should be fun.

See you all there!

Sorry guys I\'m having to drop  out at the last minute. Have a kid that isn\'t feeling well.

If you get online I\'ll try to participate remote!

[VivianC]

I over slept (wife took the kids to breakfast) but I\'m on my way.

[VivianC]

We are here.

[tapjpa]

Sorry again for not showing how many people made it?

[VivianC]

Five of us so far.  All 5500 and 5600. Good connection and good coffee.

[tapjpa]

Well enjoy it while I clean up behind a sick kid

[tapjpa]

Hey while we have an audience how about making this a monthly thing?

[VivianC]

We are up to 7.  Good showing. And Jerry is here with the 750. He has become very popular.

[VivianC]

We all agree on a monthly meeting if we can find some WI/Rockford places with wi-fi.  We need to follow up on locations.

[tapjpa]

Ok, I\'ll start hunting around up WI way for places, I\'ll be near Rockford in the next few days, I\'ll poke around there as well.
