Default Chicago Crew Abidged Cruise In Plans

Since our South Dakota trip fell apart, some of us are taking about doing a shortened version of Cruise In this year.

These are the tentative plans.

Thursday, May 26

8:30 AM: Depart Chicago area
5:00 PM: Arrive Hampton Inn BG
Evening/Night: Drink in parking lot, dive bar down the street, White Castle

Friday, May 27
Day: Visit museum, plant, etc. for those that are interested, drink by the pool
Evening/Night: Drink in parking lot, bar downtown BG with hot college girls, White Castle

Saturday, May 28
Depart AM
I am heading down to Nashville to see my buddy Dave Hale from Madvette Motorsports and party downtown on Broadway and 2nd Ave. Anyone is welcome to join me.

Otherwise, head back to Chicago or do whatever you want.

Sunday, May 29
AM: I will be departing Nashville for Chicago.

Hotel I am probably at in Nashville: http://www1.hilton.com/en_US/hi/hote...UBPWCSGBIYMVCQ It is $359 a night, but I am using a Hilton free night award.

Cheaper hotel options close by in Nashville: http://doubletree1.hilton.com/en_US/...UBPWCSGBIYMVCQ

http://homewoodsuites1.hilton.com/en...UBPWCSGBIYMVCQ

There are probably others, but I only checked Hilton properties.

I doubt I'll bother registering for Cruise In or even go to the museum or factory. The Hampton pool, the liquor store down the street, the couple bars and restaurants are going to be my CI experience this year.

Drew, Franks got the details posted at the top of the thread here...we will leave at 8:30am that Thursday. Once the date gets closer I am sure we will finalize a meeting place.

I am looking forward to checking out the Museum a bit this year.

Should be good time

I am booked at the Hilton downtown Nashville. I am using a Hilton fre night certificate that I had. Otherwise, it's like $359 a night for some reason. Tank is booked at the Doubletree up the hill for $169.
