I'll be staying at the hotel what with running it and all it is good to be close. I hope you can make it in all four days. Sometime you should go to the pen club meeting - I could even pick you up.

    Sorry to hijack your thread. Where and when are your meetings? I'd love to go

    We announce them all the time - 3rd Sunday 2 PM pretty much every month - currently in Hillside. We have about 12-15 regulars now.

    I just found this group after hearing about the Chicago Pen Show on the latest Pen Addict podcast. I was very happy to hear it will be so convenient for me to go there so I can attend my very first pen show. I too live way west of Chicago on the windswept plains outside the city. I'm north of Belvidere and about 7 miles south of Wisconsin.

    Wow, I have all these pen neighbors! Maybe we should have a Rockford or Belvidere get together. I've always been willing to do the hour to hour and a half for the Chicago club but, I know most people aren't. We had a get together at Old Orchard for a group that wanted to meet more northeast of Hillside and we will probably do this again (Laura?). Finding a place is the hardest part for a group.

    So far there are three of us but, if we put something out there maybe we can find a couple more. Terie, don't know if you caught it but, I can't make the regular club meeting this month so maybe February which would be on the 21st if you are interesting in going to Hillside.

    Yes, definitely! That was so fun, and I will dig out my email list or start a new thread for another Old Orchard meetup.

    Well if it is on a Sunday and not too big, our tattoo shop is closed. So we could use it

    Terie;

    I would think it would be 6-8 at the largest so if you have a table to sit around that would work. We'll have to see if Sunday works but, that has been historically the best day. I'll start publicizing it and see who all we turn up.

    You guys are killing me. I wasn't going to try to go, but now I really want to! Especially if Vaness1938 is going to be there...I stalk your pen club meetings on Periscope!

    Any other down-staters here? I'm really in Central Illinois, but as we from Illinois know, anything that's not Chicagoland is "southern Illinois."

    I'm in 'southern Illinois' but we drink pop up here, not soda (or sodee, as the case may be). BTW, I drink neither.

    I have lived north for a very long time but, I'm from Mt. Zion/Decatur. My fellow downstaters - you need to come up to the show!
