For us non locals... where are Lake Forest Oasis and Lake Geneva?? 
Address please!
How long is the drive between the two, I'm hoping atleast 30 mins. Can't wait to see the AMG's rolling together
I really hope I can make it up.

Thanks Vader.
Would you guys be opposed to inviting some BMW M's?? ...or do you want to keep this a Mercedes only meet? There are some cool guys on m5board from chi-town.

Ok guys, the Oasis/Geneva Lunch looks like is out in front, we'll give this Poll until Thursday I think. Does anyone have suggestions for good lunch places in Lake Geneva with plenty of parking?
Here's a link to the Lake Forest Oasis. You will want to goto the NORTHBOUND side of the oasis, and you cannot cross over from coming south to going north. "A" on the map does not point to the actual oasis, the oasis is directly off the highway and is essentially a structure that is suspended above the highway. If you look at the map closely you'll see the roads to the oasis, labeled "oasis service"

I have been to CHucks and Houlihans...they are on opposite sides of the lake...parking is always a ***** but I think these both have their own lots...albeit a bit crowded on a Sunday for sure. It's looking more and more like I will not be in town for this...

Gentlemen:
I am excited for this meet but I don’t really want to get to bed early Saturday and drive for hours if there isn’t going to be a good turnout. Looks good so far though. I am planning on bringing my brother to videotape. Also, if rain is in the forecast I’m out.
Can we please get an updated list??
Here is what it looks like thus far, please confirm or deny.
Updated Attendees:
Marcus Frost
hydeaway
Antero
eugeneC55
ENDSMTG
SolidGranite
Nij
nick 55
Dsmed
X55
AMG-Jerry
J 2OOI
m5smoker (?)
vader (doubtful)
SaMaS (maybe)
Wolverine55 (out)
Also, does anyone have a problem with inviting BMW M-cars? I am a fan of all nice cars but if you guys just want this to be a Mercedes thing, I understand. What do you guys think??

I would prefer to keep it AMG personally - for no reason other than being able to talk smack about ///M cars without starting a fight... 
I don't think the poll is going to change, so I'm going to call it - Lake Forest Oasis by 10am for Starbuck's Coffee. We will then leave from there and hit Lake Geneva for lunch. I will look into places to eat today and hopefully post that later on in the day.
Thanks,
Marcus

Marcus: True, but I'm sure they wouldn't mind a few friendly jabs. 
Keep in mind you are talking to a guy (me) who has never seen an M5 or M6 on the road and only 2 other W211 E55s on the road in 2 Years! Why do you think I am driving 4 hours
(one way) for this meet?!?
What does everyone else think about inviting the M's??

I was just down in your neck of the woods for F1, I forgot that you are from there. I drove the E55 there. It's not too bad if you miss traffic. You need to move up here to Chicago, lots more automotive eye-candy out and about.
I'm cool if the //Ms come.

Unless there is a big objection, I think this will be the best place for us:
http://www.chuckslakeshoreinn.com/
I didn't want to goto a chain, and this place should have adequate parking for us.

Marcus: Yes you should have told me, we could have met. I posted a thread on m5board/m6board.
