Post by: bpd1151 on April 04, 2015, 05:24:41 PM
I know it's last minute notice, however, I wanted to post up for all of you CHI-Town SHO owners, there is a pre-convention meet up tonight, Saturday, 04/04/15 at the host hotel's bar, which is located at the Holiday Inn Chicago/Elk Grove Village, address as follows:

1000 Busse Road
Elk Grove Village, IL. 60007

Meeting up around 7pm, and will likely end up motoring around the Schaumburg area at some point.

Please feel free to come along, and bring your SHO's with too!

Small group. But a lot of the tride & true SHO owners, all having been in the SHO circles for decades.

I'm the newest one to this group, having begun hanging out with these guys in late 2010.

This image captured from within the bar attached to the Holiday Inn (Elk Grove Village) which is the Official host hotel for this year's 24th Annual SHO Convention.

This was kind of a pre-convention meeting of the minds to help express ideas and somewhat solidify previous arrangements. Fun time had by all, but we didn't stay out to late, as most of had Easter plans with family.

Well hopefully it invoked some sense of humor.

Yea, we took that second shot as a joke to those few who stated they were coming out, but then punked out at the last minute, and texted members of our group with all sorts of excuses.

We were all like......  https://youtu.be/dKatJ3spnDc (https://youtu.be/dKatJ3spnDc)

Glad you got a kick out of it.

I actually found the link to the bar (posted below) and I must say, I was impressed with the sheer size of it, the hospitality of the staff, and their wide array of micro brews, both Domestic & International, and both on draft, as well as bottled.

Burgers are a must, and they've won awards for a couple of them.

Definitely will be a great convention forthcoming if this is to be a preview of events forthcoming.
