    I'd like to test the waters and see how you guys feel about a X-Mas dinner at the O'Hare Outback (next to the Kennedy) on Saturday, December 3rd starting at 5pm?

    How does that sound?

    Here is my rationale: I'd like to do it on a weekend early in December because that month we all get busy with our social calendars. Also Outback was a nice place last year and it is fairly centrally located for most of us and has a parking lot outside.

    Aside from a nice get together with food and drinks I'll bring the 2006 Calendars and will hand out the FOC 2005 Gumball trophies.

    I haven't planned in door go karting until March, maybe we should do one earlier?

    As a side note: I was thinking about doing a slot car race at a professional track (in doors of course) in January. How is the interest level on that?

    Find a place, get enough TVs, and with the IT section knowing what to do, it would be easy to link up the maximum 8 player Forza game. Make it more impressive by giving those with the poorest laptimes originally cars like the 333SP or Prodrive 550 whereas the veteran gamers have to toil around in "lower performance" Ferraris like the Dino and 335.

    Did I open up a can of worms??

    I have a Xbox 360 pre-ordered so that plus PG3 which no one has played could be the ticket? Humm..

    I can see it now the FOC (winter) virtual racing championships!!
    Strap yourselves in this could get out of hand..

    WOW..

    Thanks.

    Who knows you might be surprised?

    I marked it on my calendar, but i have four other events happening that night too on the 3rd. I think everyone else said the same thing, have it earlier to avoid other xmas parties. HAH! So, when it gets closer, i will let you know, maybe i'll just run away from all of them??? hahaha So, mark me as tentative. Thanks...

    It is located somewhat central to many of us and easy to reach next to the Kennedy. Most of us are not from the city and prefer something outside it. Parking is another issue.
