Saturday evening reunion dinner at GreenRiver Chicago
Address: 259 E Erie Street
Time: 6pm wine/beer reception, 7-10pm dinner.
Dress: Work casual (I will not be wearing a tie, but you can!). Evenings have been chilly lately, and our reception has an outdoor terrace option with great views, so wear a jacket if you get chilly. Make sure to put on your nametag, which I will leave near the reception entrance.
Parking: The GreenRiver Restaurant is on the 18th floor of the Northwestern Hospital Lavin Family Pavilion. Beginning at 5:30pm you can use Nortwestern Parking Lot B, right next door, across the street from the Emergency Entrance. Get your ticket validated by the restaurant before leaving, and you will pay $11. If you prefer Valet parking, this is done from directly in front of the Lavin Family Pavilion, and will cost $18 for 4 hours.
Friday Cocktails and/or Free Concert downtown--all welcome!
Meet in the lobby bar of the Palmer House Hotel, 17 E Monroe
Time: I will be in the bar 5-6:15pm--come join me whether or not you plan to go to the concert. At 6:15 concert-goers will grab some picnic food at a local shop, then walk to Millenial Park; 7:30 free concert should be over by 9. Text me if you are late and I will let you know where we are.
Dress: warmly, and bring a blanket to sit on (I will "borrow" one from my hotel).
Saturday morning Architecture Tour---spots still available
Address: Chicago Architecture Foundation, 224 S. Michigan Ave.
Time: Meet at 9:45am in front. I have your tickets if you prepaid. If not, go inside and buy a ticket for the 10am "Historic Skyscrapers" tour, or get a ticket online. Lasts two hours.
Dress: Walking shoes, outdoor clothing (it's on foot, outdoors).
Saturday afternoon picnic--all are welcome, even if you did not prepay for Giordano's Pizza!
Address: Meet in front of Chicago Architecture Foundation, 224 S. Michigan Ave. We will walk over to somewhere near Buckingham Fountain.
Time: Meet by 12:15. Text me if you are late and I will tell you where we are.
Dress/Details: Outdoor clothing. Bring a blanket ( I will have a couple extras). If you did not prepay for pizza/beverage, bring your own food--there is a sandwich stand near Buckingham fountain to get food. Email me back by Thursday 5pm if you want to add yourself to the pizza/beverage list, and then prepay on the website.
Storing stuff: If you are also going on the architecture tour at 10 and want to store picnic stuff during the tour, go to and text/call me at the Palmer House hotel (17 E Monroe, 5 minute walk) between 9-9:30am, and you can leave things in my room.
