samandred 0 Posted September 9, 2003 Share Posted September 9, 2003 We cxoming to the states to see JW in concert on November 28th (Saturday). It'd be nice to meet other fans. There are three of us currently thinking about it... We could make such a meeting happen. My email is red.tiny@ntlworld.comMy name is Sam Wardhan. I'm 31, my wife is Ava Horowitz. I'm Indian, she's Jewish. We live in London and Lincoln in England. We're gonna be in Chicago on late Friday night, till Sunday night. We have nowhere to stay yet, it'd make sense if we could all stay near other people. We love having luxury 5 stars but we're also comfortable staying in youth hostels.I'm gonna start a new thread about getting people together...Are you interested in meeting? Who are you all? Where are you staying?Sammy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyclonusArmada 0 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Hey, samandred, I live and work in Chicago so I will certainly be there, hopefully at 2 of the three nights! I have seen Williams only once before, at a Chicago Ravinia concert several years ago. My wife and I will be attending this year. We live downtown, near the Hancock Tower so the CSO center is close by for us. Do you have reservations somewhere yet? Let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclonusArmada 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Share Posted October 21, 2003 So, should we all reply again to this thread, just make sure we all know who will be meeting before/after the concerts and where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari 279 Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 So, should we all reply again to this thread, just make sure we all know who will be meeting before/after the concerts and where?Why not? I'm Kathy and will be attending all three concerts. Meeting at Bennigans is fine with me, either before or afterward.Mari, looking forward to meeting other JWFansp.s. I just found out that the guy who was going to attend the concerts with me can't go after all and I now have an extra ticket for the Tuesday (12/2) concert. If anyone is interesting in purchasing it, let me know via PM and we can work out arrangements. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CyclonusArmada 0 Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Agreed, the excitement is certainly building! I look forward not only to the shows but to meeting fellow JW fans. I guess we will have to choose a time at which to meet as well, according to others' travel plans and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QMM 4 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I'm a shy guy along with my twin(we're 15 so yeah), and we probably wont want to meet in a restaurant you know (you're all welcome to) I'd be find with just a meeting before or after the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclonusArmada 0 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 That's fine, no one will ask you to join a conga line or anything, we'll just meet up and chat, whether it's in a restautant or in the symphony center. Either way, it's just a public meeting place. Now since Williams is not leading a pre-concert discussion on Friday we don't have to worry about making it to that. The concert starts at 7:30pm, right? We could meet at 6pm, that way we have an hour or so to chat, then make our way to out seats around 7pm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari 279 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 What?!?!?No conga line ... I'm devastated! Seriously CyclonusArmada, your idea is good. I don't think the Rhapsody restaurant in the Symphony Center has been mentioned yet as a possibility. I ate in the dining area the last time I attended a concert (excellent food, but a bit pricy), and I know there is also a bar area where we could all meet.BTW, I think the Friday concert starts at 8pm. ~Mari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclonusArmada 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Good call, Mari, I forgot about Rhapsody as well! It's been awhile since I was there, but it is a fine place to meet, since it is connected to the Symphony Center itself. There is a nice bar/lounge area, perfect for a meeting place. If 8pm is start time, do we think 630pm is a good time? Too early? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichabod 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 HI!For me it's ok! at 6.30 pm in the bar area of the Symphony CenterI've just a little problem with english (i'm italian, and it will be my first time in the U.S.A) but i want to be at the meet; I hope thisn't a problem for you! i mean my bad english Bye Fabrizio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclonusArmada 0 Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 Cool deal all! I think my wife and I will be having dinner there, probably around 5pm,so when you guys arrive you can just stop by our table! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QMM 4 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I'll try to post a photo or two of me and Nick. Also, for the concert, do you wear suits, or is it just nice clothes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari 279 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I'll be wearing a dress if that helps. Seriously, this is what the CSO website recommends: What should I wear? Attending a concert at Symphony Center is always a special occasion; therefore, most patrons enjoy dressing up a bit. Today's standards for business formal dress or business casual dress are both acceptable for concerts at Orchestra Hall. Jeans, shorts, and t-shirts are discouraged. After all, the musicians will be wearing their finest (tuxedos or suits on the men and gowns on the women). It is also recommended that patrons refrain from using strong perfumes and colognes so as not to distract the patrons sitting around you.Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QMM 4 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 Suits and ties then? or just like a fine shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyclonusArmada 0 Posted November 25, 2003 Share Posted November 25, 2003 I think just a short and tie will be suitable, that is what I will be wearing. I will try to post a picture soon. If that fails, I am 6' tall, 150lbs, short brown hair, glasses and goatee. And I am 30 years old. I will be wearing shirt and tie most likely, my wife has really long blond hair.

CyclonusArmada 0 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I do not plan on wearing a suit. Other than Rhapsody, we could meet in the front hall of the center, near the main doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mari 279 Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 Saturday, 6:30 in the lobby works for me I didn't attend the pre-concert talk at the last CSO peformance I attended, but believe it was open seating.I was able to get seats on the main floor for all the concerts ... row G tonight, row E on Saturday and row F on Tuesday.Kathy, writing this on the TV in the hotel room!
