Last time I checked Grand Rapids was most definitely NOT in IL... quite a trek in fact.

Read my post, idiot. I was responding to the poster that said it wasn't in Chicago, but in Illinois. Nowhere was GR mentioned. Gee get a handle on it already it is whithering from neglect.

LOL Well Chicago is in Illinois.

Maz didn't mention Grand Rapids and in fact I never said the meet up was in Chicago, Illinois or anywhere for that matter...I said the folk from the Chicago area were having a meet up.

I didn't say you had said any of those things OR that Maz did... Maz mentioned that she thought the meetup was in IL... the link eventually tells you its in MI

Rete answered glibly that she thought Chicago was still in IL... I said Grand Rapids was not.

simply a case of people NOT reading the posts they are commenting on.

It certainly is! Calm down peeps

Hey US Bound, I'll be over the border in N'ville early on Saturday evening. Without hubby but with 5 1/2 year old in tow. Up for a swift pint? We'll be heading over to Blues on the Fox after that to see Robert Cray play on the island in Aurora.
