General Directions from the city:

The Community center is basically at Cermak and Mannheim. From the city, take 290 west to Mannheim south to Cermak east. Make a left on Westchester Blvd and follow it to the right until you hit Bond Street which is a block or two up.

Mapquest says to exit at 25th St and go south to Roosevelt, west to Westchester Blvd and go south on Westchester Blvd to the Community Center.

You can also hit Westchester Blvd from Roosevelt but you will go south on Westchester Blvd until you hit the Community center.

Mapquest puts the drive from the center of downtown at 25 minutes.

This is nearly a home game for me. Nice.

I've got a buddy who lives in Westchester. I've e-mailed him to see if he'd want to play.......and get us the discount

Tell him to at least come out for the discount..and then leave once everyone is there.

He's a meatball fan of the Bears and Cubs so he'd fit right in....

I grew up in Westchester and my parents still live there. Maybe I'll swing by. I don't know if one of them would be willing to get you a discount though.

I've been upgraded to a 99% likelihood of attending.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

SWEET! We've got a newb. SOmeone remind Hawkeye Vince and Hack to bring the initiation "equipment"

Seriously?

I will, for sure. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow about my arm, and I hope to get medical clearance for this - Of course I won't mention the activity, but I'll ask the doc if it's okay to move the arm a bit. Translation: If this thing ain't broken, I'm playin'

My Westchester connection has failed us.

I guess it's up to Spaulding's dad...

So no room for excuses about how long it took to get there...how you went uphill both ways

So...are we meeting at your place before hand for lunch or afterwards for dinner?

Lucky for me, I am a UW Badger Band alum... so I've lived through my fair shair of hazing.


Can't be worse than that.... can it?

All depends on your pain threshold.

I'd say it depends on if Kid Cairo and W_Z are there...I think one of the rites was a between part in the man sandwiches those two create at every Hoops event...

i've got so much anger inside me right now from all the pot shots i've taken from all of you, especially spmack who has been really down on me. i plan on dropping at least a thousand points on all of you, and will be distributing hard fouls equally. i'm like a tidal wave of rage that's ready to explode. a volcano of ire that will avalanche all over you.

get ready for hell. i'm bringing the madness.

Um, planning a growth spurt in the next day or two?

my angst has given me 5 inches of vertical growth in animosity.

Nothing is worse than being a Badger.

My dinner plans for tonight were cancelled, so I might be able to accomplish the work I need to do tonight and might consider being there tomorrow. Continue to count me out though until further notice.

Given Zack's anger management issues, I am also reconsidering my attendance. He scares me.

BRING IT ZACK!!! YOU BRING IT!!!

Seriously?

this is going to sound funny in this thread - but does anyone have a little daughter that would like a vanity? It's not fancy, but it has a mirror that lights up, couple of drawers and a little stool. It's probably best for the under 4 set.

I can toss it in the car tomorrow and give it to you. My daughter is too big for it.

I'll take it for myself....I mean, my daughter....yep....for my daughter.

If Killer was kidding, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.

Cool Vee - I'll throw it in the car tomorrow. Just remind me.

Hey what did I say? The only smack talking I've done was accude you of being that fake british guy the other day on the afternoon saloon.

I'll have it with me and if he doesn't look good sitting at a small pink vanity, you can have it then. It's become a clothes holder.

Hey Vince!

Don't forget to throw that vanity in you car for tomorrow!
