What do you think?

I will post again when they schedule everything.
Hoping all can make it. Maybe we can even get some of the people in surrounding areas to come. Like the Wisconsin people. After all, they need something to celebrate

1. Don't know if I'll make it down to the parade but there's a party on the streets tonight!

Fireworks and cheer around here
The Mighty Hawks

[marym625]

2. Oh it's everywhere! !

Good thing it's raining or the city would be on fire!



Do we know when the parade is yet?

[Person 2713]

4. Well this week is all they said on TV . They may want to look at the weather forecast

Weds Thurs or Fri- which has less rain predicted?

[marym625]

6. Friday

They're going to have a parade, celebration at Grant or millennium park for 3 days! ?

[Person 2713]

24. Looks like Thursday is the parade details below

[marym625]

25. I wish they had made it Friday

I think the tickets are already gone. Maybe this is not a great idea for a meet up. We should do it on a regular weekend.

What do you think?

[Person 2713]

28. July or August? Anyone else interested? Any noble causes we can rally around perhaps

happening around town this summer?. A gotv gig? Or hey just be decadent and meet at a TOC stage
None of the acts at the shell interest me this year but the Bud light stage has many options
Coffee/ tea /juice somewhere to meet up & just to say Hello is good too!

This whole hold it on a rainy day and confine everyone to SF is BS imo. Could have used an area near McCormick that is paved and block it off or something but what do I know

[marym625]

32. It'll have to be July for me

June is filled up and I'm moving in August.

I'm good with anywhere. I will try to post something.

When I posted about a get together at the Hawks parade, I hadn't really thought it through. I also didn't think they would pull the stadium stuff . Not sure why they did that.

We can make it about a ton of things. Did you see Rauner already has commercials against Mike Madigan? Never saw a Governor do that before.

And kirk has already started his campaign against Tammy Duckworth.

Or it can be just for fun and to meet each other

[Person 2713]

34. I am here off and on .can you post a place or event in or near Chicago . Maybe taste of Chicago

Just for thE bread
and circus background then sit or walk somewhere to speak to each other
Or july 5th with all the deDhedsin the loop. Your farewell Deads farewell?

I enjoy your posts andknowyou are well respected
Chicago needs to send you off DU style!

[marym625]

35. awe thanks!

On my way downtown. Will reply more later.

Appreciate your comments!

3. What sport is that? Nt

[marym625]

5. I don't know if you are serious or not

So I am just going to answer. Hockey

[pinboy3niner]

9. For a lot of us, we're lucky if we can handle Hacky Sack

But if you want to talk elbow-bending, you have an audience of would-be Olympic champions.

[marym625]

11. Awesome! I can bend an elbow with the best of them

Are you around here? , join us!

[pinboy3niner]

17. I'm guessing the parade is in Chicago? I was born there, but live in far L.A. now.

I won't make the parade, but I'd love to visit aqgain sometime. I still remember sitting on my grandparents' stoop and watching the lights flash at Commiskey when the Sox scored when I was little.

I hope you get some DUers out to meet up and that you have a blast!

[marym625]

19. Look like we will

Comisky! I miss that park. Got Ron Kittle's autograph there.

Well, when I move to California in august, we'll have a get together there!

[pinboy3niner]

20. You know you'll be welcomed with open arms by CA DUers

There was some planning for a state meetup here a few years back, but I think that fell through. Maybe your arrival will fire us up to do a DU meetup here soon. It's a big state and we're flung far and wide but there's really no excuse for not having a CA meetup. And you're going to need to have a housewarming...

[marym625]

21. I will be staying with my brother at first, up

Sort of between San Francisco and San Jose. But my nieces and nephew live in Torrence so I will be bicity.

Thanks so much. You're just awesome.

I am so excited right now

[pinboy3niner]

22. Torrance is in my SoCal region

I'm in the North tip of L.A. County, in the high desert Antelope Valley (Lancaster/Palmdale).

Welcome to the neighborhood!

[marym625]

23. Thank you!

I used to live in Harbor City and worked in Manhattan Beach at the Steel Workers Union.

My ex sister in law, who passed away last April at the age of 49, lived in Lancaster for years. Been there often.

So excited! What a great new neighbor to have!

8. Ice Hockey

7. Just stopping by

to say congrats. I haven't been following as closely as I used to (Oilers fan here, LOL. It's been awhile. I was more interested in the draft lottery this year than the playoffs) but it's nice to see a team win a few cups in a short period of time. Congratulations and I hope you enjoy your parade!

[marym625]

10. It's always a blast! and thank you so much!

This town really supports our teams. And the Hawks have been our crown and glory for years now.

Btw, first win at home since the 1930s! As bad as it is that it's storming on and off, I bet the cops are glad.

[laundry_queen]

14. At home cup wins are the best :)

And yes, I bet the cops are.

[marym625]

18. Yay!

Thanks for the congrats! This can be such a great city!

[Blue_Tires]

12. Have the dumpster fires and overturned cop cars happened yet?

[marym625]

15. It's really bad weather

Even tornado warnings while people were outside waiting to get into the game. Pouring rain, warning signs going off and doors locked.

They finally opened the doors and let every soaking one in.

So I am guessing that stuff will be minimal

[tritsofme]

13. It was so INCREDIBLE! #Dynasty!

[marym625]

16. Damn straight!

Awesome stuff! A DYNASTY is perfect!

26. Im working in a condo building by the Hancock.

I guess I'll have to take an early and extended lunch and stroll on down to Monroe street to watch the cup roll by. Don't tell my boss.

[marym625]

27. The first year in this round of Stanley Cup wins by the Blackhawks,

My team received an email from our VP. It was a mandatory 10am meeting at Washington and LaSalle.

Looks like trying to get together during this madness was a bad idea. But now that I know so many of us are so close, we will have to have a DU Chicago meet up this summer!

Enjoy! And I promise I won't tell your boss!

[Jefferson23]

30. I live too far away..but have a great time..enjoy. n/t

[lovemydog]

31. Man, if I were in Chicago I'd join everyone.

I'd love to meet some DUers in person some time.

Have fun!

[marym625]

33. Obviously today won't work

But let's plan on something in July!
