May Date for Chicago get together???

Now that the weather appears to be finally (whew??) breaking, how about a May 2008 date at the Streets of Woodfield. We can gather and eat (lots of places to go there). Good Parking, no door ding worries and its convenient for both the city dwellers and the burbanites. I just got my 2004 C32 (also own a 2001 ML 55) and am looking to show her off and get some ideas for mods etc. My drive from Lake County is about equal to the rest and Schaumburg is centrally located off WB I 90 and also north and southbound 53 near the Ikea and Woodfield Mall. Maggianos and may other food options are nearby too.

Not a bad idea...but I have to say please we need to get others on different model forum to subscribe to this thread also cause there are other members interested but I am having conflicts of locations so this way we can try to figure better on date and time

I'm definitely thinking about it. About 3 hours away. I'll need a locked in date and plan of action for the day before I can make my decision.

Real Cars
I'm in.

If this is just going to be a meet/eat type of thing, may I suggest Dave & Buster's in Addison - only reason being that Streets Of Woodfield can sometimes be strict when it comes to having cars gather in their parking lots, and may give us the boot. D&Bs has a huge parking lot, is very central still, and they don't care about car groups meeting there.
