MANGIA! MANGIA! and Celebrate Active Rain in Chicago-land this June 16th

By
Industry Observer

Don't FORGET the PAR-TAY RAIN CLOUD is moving to the MIDWEST on June 16th!

We picked a site that would be easy to access from surrounding states of Indiana, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa.

In my original announcement post I pretty much knew none of the details.

BUT!!! No we've finalized the location at a Restaurant ICON that originated in Chicago as part of the Lettuce Entertainment Group of restaurants.

So taaaaa daaaaa! We will be celebrating Saturday afternoon for lunch, adult libations (if you want) and rain soaked Birthday Cake at: Maggaino's Little Italy in Oak Brook... where being loud and festive is a good thing.

  • Address: 240 Oak Brook Center Oak Brook, IL 60523
    240 Oakbrook Center Oak Brook, IL 60523
  • Phone: 630-368-0300
  • Date: SATURDAY June 16th
  • Time: 12:30 to ?

NEED A MAP to the location? Click Here!

I have to thank Maggaino's... as they went out of their way to accommodate us. All they asked is that we be patient as they are quite busy that day. I assured them it would be no problem as we were all there to have a big gab fest anyway.

So PLEASE RSVP (and earn 25 points)... below in a comment.  I need to get a final count to the restaurant.

RSVP LIMIT: 30 TOTAL!!!!!! RSVP COUNT: 26 (as of June 04, 2007 9:20 AM CDT) LL

PS: THANKS Eileen Landau! This Naperville UBER' REALTOR sure knows how to coach someone and snap one of these things together.

I'm really bummed.  Both my kids made the All Star baseball team (happy for that) but it's on the 16th at 11am and 4:30pm.  I will do a drop by after the 11am game and stay as long as I can before the 4:30 tee ball game (all star tee ball??).  So, I guess there is officially an extra spot open.  If I can't just do a quick drop in, please let me know.  I would really like to meet everyone.  Sherry

Craig,

Thanks for the invitation. I will unable to attend. I will miss the great food and most of all I will miss meeting everyone. Maybe next time will work out for me. Hope another get-together is planned in the future.

Buon appetito!

A wonderful venue, a feast for a king, and the company superb!

Special thanks to Craig for making the arrangements, to Lydia for making all the plans for these events, and to Matt for being the hardest working, kindest CEO I've known!

Gena,

I am in a hotel with a new laptop that takes me forever to maneuver.

When I get home tomorrow I will upload.

Ours aren't as exciting as the California event, but we enjoyed ourselves just the same!
