Thanks, Star. I'll have to see if I can lasso my man into coming to this. It sounds like it's gonna be a hoot

Come to think of it, I'd probably have a better time with just the girls.

Since all participants are adults, there will not be “leaders” for each itinerary.

Any get-togethers on Sunday will be informal. I’ve been told that there will still be plenty of people in town if they would like to meet to go to restaurants together or more sightseeing. The hospitality room is not currently scheduled for that day, however.

Noon- For anyone still in town, the Bears will be playing the Washington Redskins at Soldier Field. Tickets range from $45-$315 and are available at www.ticketmaster.com

Paulie · 08-17-2004, 01:50 PM

Great job setting up the schedule, Stargazer!

It's really exciting to see everything all mapped out in black and white. You've done a lot of hard work setting everything up for us. Thanks.

oneTVslave · 08-17-2004, 01:54 PM

to Paulie. SG is da bomb.

Looks great!

I can't wait to find out who the reality contestants will be...

**Amanda** · 08-17-2004, 02:01 PM

Does the room turn into a pumpkin at midnight?

I'm just wondering if jack-booted thugs are going to crash through the windows and kick everyone out, or if people can continue to ~~drink~~ mingle beyond that time. If they want everyone out of the room, will the hotel bar or some other place still be open? It just seems like a pretty early night is all.

Although I guess people will have hotel rooms, so that's somewhere to go. Meh. Don't mind me, I'm just thinking in text here.

And I can always just go home.

Jewelsy · 08-17-2004, 02:53 PM

Excellent job, Star.

I am *so* looking forward to this.

Amanda -- you can crash with me and Libs.
