Ok guys, lets try this again. Vote early and often.

This time I vote for the pay for play gym in Evanston, and a possible BBQ at Coast's afterwards if the offer is still on the table.

And the 19th is the great soccer viewing party. We wouldnt want a conflict for that.

I voted April 27. I'd rather do it on a Saturday so I can hang out afterwards without worrying about waking up for work the next day.

I checked for available Saturdays at the gym and there are exactly none. So, Sundays are the only option...

Well, disregard my previous post. I didn't see this post from Killer V in the other thread.

So I didn't see this until after posting in the other thread. Saturdays were booked at the gym, so Sundays are the better option.

If a Saturday is chosen as the best day, I can double-check to see if that day has opened up.

Also, it's pay-for-play. I think we figured about $10/person last thread...


May 24th is definitely out for me as I'm going to the Indy 500 (button 48 ) that weekend.

Sundays are definitely better for me, as it is my only off day from 2 jobs.

Is Sunday May 18th good enough to get 10 guys? I shouldnt have even done a poll, I shoulda known the last 2 dates would automatically be the most popular.

Evanston is a little further than Hyde Park, so I'd say I'm doubtful for this event.

well i'm doing the chicago marathon in october, so...i need to get into competitive shape and i'm starting with that. i may do another in the summer, but i don't want to spend that much because the marathon wasn't exactly cheap.

i may sign up for either another 10k or a half marathon too. depending on the cost.

It sounds like we'll get more people if we played in a more central location. So, who lives in or around the city and is near a Chicago Park with a gym?

I found on the Chicago Park district site that there are over a hundred parks with gyms for basketball. They are rentable, but apparently the fees and schedules vary.

Here's the link to the list from their site of parks which have gyms (EDIT: OK I have no idea why there's an asterisk in their web address, but it's fucking up posting the direct link here. SO, here's a link to the list of parks. On the right side, click on "Gyms" to get the list):

Take a looksee and call the one that you're near to check price and availability...
