I'm sure there are plenty of people who would be willing to pick folks up from the train.  For reference, I've mapped it, and the Mt. Prospect Metra station only just over 2 miles north of Mr. Beef & Pizza, at 83 and 14.  Here's the map.

Edit: Here's the correct Metra line to take from the far MW 'burbs and the city: Union Pacific District Northwest Line

Damn, girl - slow day at the office?  :-)

For those of you in the city with access to the CTA's El to O'Hare (The blue line I think?) the last stop before the airport is Rosemont on River Rd. 

Again, not forever from where I live, so if you'd like me to pick you up, PM me with your travel particulars & we can work something out...

Sort of.  I'm just a bit burned out right now.  That, and a lot of what I have to do involves uploading files, scheduling emails, and... nothing hugely intensive.

I don't have the wherewithal to print & post flyers, and it's a total mystery to me where I might post them to good advantage, but...

I took a bit of liberty with Caity's image, resized it & posted it to both my profiles below the thread link...

I am beginning to believe that Rachel is psychic. Every date that was picked so far this year I had already booked with various commitments that couldn't be changed.

My friend is getting married on Oct. 25 and she will never forgive me if I don't show up.

Can't wait to see what I have committed to for the next M&G! =P

Rachel invited me to come out. I'd love to but its a three hour drive from Michigan and I have a shoot the next morning. sad

However, I'll keep an eye on your shindigs and try to make it to another one. If I come out I want to have a shoot or two lined up as well smile

Alright Rachel you can add me... between all the offers i'm sure to get there lol... i think maybe we should have one person go to Metra and another go to the EL and also should probably put it in the main post so people can see without having to read every message to find out... Well Let me know if this happens and if not i'll contact someone for a ride lol...

Ok, I'll add you.

I'm not going to have people waiting at the train stations though--that's not fair to them.  Let Hal or I know what your plans are and we'll work out getting you from the train.

Anyone else interested in taking Metra or the CTA should contact Hal or I as well, and we will arrange something.

I will add it to the main post.

I didn't mean have them waiting but if there happens to be people coming from both it would be easier to have one go to one and the other to the other so the one person isn't driving all over the place.. wink

Ahhh ok wink  That makes more sense then.

I added the info to post 1.

Get with Hal or I to exchange cell phone numbers and get your travel times to whoever so the person picking you up can be there when you get in smile

I've been tagging people randomly, when I have the time.  Here's the tag I've been leaving (more or less... I try to change it and make it somewhat personal if I can), in case anyone else wants to tag people:

Hey!  You should come to the M&G in Mt. Prospect!  It's going to be a ton of fun!  More info can be found here: https://www.modelmayhem.com/po.php?thread_id=358486

Hope to see you there!

And if you'd like to link it in your profile, use this code (remove the spaces after each [ to get it to work):
