Hi my brothers and sisters in Jesus!  There are a handful of us over here in Pittsburgh, PA that take 6 - 10 trips a year to Hampton Roads, or Philly, or Boston or other cities over on the east coast.  I just realized a couple months ago that we've never gone west of Toledo, OH even though Chicago is like the same distance (or less) than many of the other ministries we visit.  Soooooo we were thinking about taking a trip to Chicago from October 9th through the 12th just to hang out and meet some folks, maybe see a site or two.  But before we really plan to come I wanted to know if you guys have any big plans for that weekend that would make it inconvenient for anyone (like if you're having a campus retreat, or some serious campaign, or anything else that's outside of the norm).  There would probably be 3 - 4 of us coming, and if we could crash on a brother's floor that would be legit.  Carpet, tile, pavment in a garage; all are glorious.  Sooooo, let me know if this would be a cool weekend for us to come down (or up and over), or if we should think about a different weekend.

Thanks!

Jim
