This is an Unlawful Gathering...'09! Chicagoland

We're taking over the manual lanes so we can stay close togethger.

Everyone will pick a lane & "Not" Line up behind 1 another.

Well at least the folks w/o I-pass

I gotta get up extra early and make sure the ride is washed and waxed. I will see u guys on Sunday! If there is enough room in the parking lot, I would love to get one huge panorama shot of all the cars if possible. Maybe even an elevated shot if there is a rooftop or something nearby.

OK so just to recap (more for me than anyone else LOL)

Meeting @ My house @ 12:30 Jesse, Adam (moparcharger06), Nick (Darknight), Tom (IL Chaos)(?)
Then going to Fratellos (corner of 120 & 12) meeting Drew (Hoodie)
Finally going to Giordano's (corner of 12 & 22) meeting up with Brian (irishrt)

Do I have this right? Anyone else?

I'll meet at Giordano's so that way we don't have to stop twice.. It's less time overall by about 12 minutes for me that way too.. Plus you can take the quickest route to Giordano's instead of having to tailor it to Fratellos and then Giordanos..

Hey Eric-

There's a really large parking lot just North of Rocky Vanders' parking lot. Everyone's parking there, not in Rocky's lot, correct?

I just asked Billy as that map pictured there is different from mapquest. He said it's in the big lot that is circled between Palatine Rd. and Apple Dr....which is how mapquest shows it.

Wow...Google Maps FINALLY got something wrong!

I will be there for sure, not sure how long I will stay.

Message from Billy over on the Jeep forum:

Quote :

hey guys, here's the scoop......

I'll be out there early to rope off a HUGE portion of the parking lot so please don't worry about room.

Food will be placed out between 2:30-2:45 to allow everyone to meet and BS.

The owner of Rocky Vanders has made up greeting fliers for us and spent a $h@t load of money on the food spred.

Please show alittle kindness and purchase a drink or two (even if it's only a coke). He'll have plastic cups so we can go outside and admire each others rides.


Hope to see everyone out there and I can't wait. It should be a great time!

Awesome thanks for the update.

This is going to be a fucking great turnout lets hope that everyone shows up... and that they have enough parking...

I was told by Billy (Jeep guy that setup the location for us....#42 on the list of attendees) that it is in a strip mall so it has a rather large parking area. I guess the owner of Rocky Vanders has an annual car and bike show with an even larger turn out. So space shouldn't be a problem

if you look at the map that someone has posted Rocky's is a couple blocks from were they want us to park....do i have this right?????? I thought it was going to be on Rocky's premises so we can party and check each others rides out.

High props for eric who put this gathering together

X2!

The lot behind isn't big enough for us or are they setting up for us in the Further Lot?

I think the map that is posted has Rocky Vander's Cafe labeled wrong.. Mapquest shows it differently and this post makes me believe it's in the shopping center that is circled on that map from Google..

Yes Jackie u got it right, hopefuly it goes as planed.

Rocky Vanders lot is on the southwest corner of Palatine and Milwaukee.
It is the large lot that is on the west side of Milwaukee Rd, just south of Palatine Rd and north of Apple Dr.

Google has it marked incorrectly. Mapquest has it marked correctly.
