These people will all be in Chicago on Saturday, September 19th. I would HATE to come home and have someone say, "OMG! You were in Chicago this weekend and you didn't tell me? If I'd known, I would have come!"
If you want to join us for lunch and some general silliness, please site mail one of us.
... There is one person who isn't on this list but we wish were here. Bill (bmac62) was a big part of the original plan, but he's home with his feet up, recovering from surgery. Bill, we love you, and will miss you like crazy this weekend! ...
And because there are SO many songs that have been written about Chicago, here's one of my favorites ...
Crosby, Stills & Nash: CHICAGO
..........
The bell is from MooseRidge Gardens. If it looks familiar, it's because I posted a really closeup shot of just PART of the bell a few weeks ago, and promised one day I would show you the whole bell. See? I CAN take a picture of ALL of something! :P

If one day I go to Chicago...Sure I go see the Black Hawks :)
Wonderful shot! I wish I could afford to go to Chicago! Have fun!
A fantastic image! What a unique and antique looking subject, and wish so much I could go to Chicago now! I love the texture, and the rust on this bell..... makes me wonder about the history of this.... most inspiring capture!
I heard your bell :))) Thank you SO MUCH:))I`m ENVIOUS!!!!Enjoy the most you can, you all:))) and your photograph is wonderful as always!
Thanks for the invite. You guys will have a blast! If I hadn't gone to San Diego LAST weekend I would have planned to join you guys. My bank account, my family and my sandpaper eyeballs would mutiny against me if I was gone 2 weekends in a row. You'll just have to plan the second annual writer's/photographer's meeting so I can make it!! By the way, this photo of the bell is absolutely beautiful. You captured it well - awesome textures. Is the sound as rich, deep and somber as it looks?
The bell and the summons are both great! Have a wonderful time, and please take many photos of our R'osity friends!
I am so looking forward to this. The bell is great and we are looking forward to meeting everybody who can make it.
Chicago,.....rolled through it a few times recently, but it's been a while since I've stopped. I'll have to make sure I have on the proper Packer attire for this epic occasion. My mom will be accompanying us as well, she's read so many of the comments left on Cheri's and my posts, and is completely intrigued that people we had never met could possibly be so warm and caring. I'll try really hard to be on my best behavior,....but I'm not promising anything! This is going to be soooo cool! Okay, maybe I'll forgo the Packer stuff.
My kind of town---I can't wait!!!!!!
Sounds like a fun time will be had by all! Wish I could, wish I could, but I can't...got a trip to London coming up in three weeks :)
wonderful capture brought the smiles have fun and enjoy warm hug and love, Linda Kaye
very nice image my friend.
Wonderful close approach to this bell and I am sure the sound just as great. Have fun all of you on the weekend.
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town.....the Bears, Cubs, White Sox, the El, Sears Tower, O'Hare International Airport, Al Capone, Lakes HOMES.... How can you even afford to go traveling during this recession? Excellent shot of the Asian dinner bell. Come and get it!
Hope everyone has a great time in the windy city..
Enjoy your time and have fun.

Hope this nets a few more visitors to join your crew on Saturday. Thanks for thinking of me...I'm waiting with bated breath (that's the correct spelling:) for postings from Chicago or at least shortly thereafter. May the weather be sunny and warm!
