    This is looking more and more like something I want to do. Is there a common hotel folks are staying at?

    @NorthsideSmoke  Best Western in Countryside, IL is very close to the lounge and many stay there.  A few also stay at the La Quinta in Oakbrook, IL.  That once is a little further from the lounge but from what I understand usually a bit cheaper.  I booked at the Best Western and I paid about $85/night.

    I chatted with him a bit. We didn't even talk Chicago.

    I heard he's not smoking much, so we probably won't see him this year.

    so I'm debating guys, I was chatting with jiunn and cant seem to figure out if I should try to do a new cup, or a sticker this year?

    roman had the sticker for 2013 done

    I did the cups for 2015(that took months to complete)

    this year I'm not sure what to try to do, stickers are quicker then cups, but cups seem to be useful in my opinion,
    I was going to buy a laser etcher for wood like cigar box's, but cant seem to find one that big enough to do a box top or smoething,
    so I'm back at looking at stickers and cups, only prob with cups cant seem to get enough of the same type to do the lot of them, then transporting them get's delicate.


    so figure I would ask what people prefer?

    I figured the color would wash out, even though it stated it was permanent,

    Alrighty. My buddy nearly died a few weeks ago. The Whiskey God's have eaten him inside out. Gall Bladder gone and minor Liver damage if there is such a thing. He is recovering and has quit smoking and drinking. 

    I am going solo now.

    Oh and D-run, who knocked your ass out of the playoffs last year???  I should bring my Bollig jersey. It's still legal, he is still my cousin.
