Here are the best directions:
(I used gameworks as the destination but I don't know if that is the correct destination; check the GPS coords for the correct building; this should put you in the correct parking lot)

1: Start out going NORTHEAST on DEPARTURES. 0.6 miles Map

2: Merge onto I-190 E. 1.9 miles Map

3: Merge onto I-294 N via EXIT 1C toward MILWAUKEE/I-90 W/ROCKFORD (Portions toll). 0.3 miles Map

4: Merge onto NW TOLLWAY/I-90 W toward ROCKFORD (Portions toll). 9.6 miles Map

5: Merge onto I-290 E/IL-53 S toward CHICAGO/SCHAUMBURG. 3.3 miles Map

6: End at 601 Martingale Schaumburg IL Map

wow. I never knew so many people here lived in/near Chicago. I wish I was still there so I could meet with you all

Curse the luck. Curse it. This would be without a doubt one of the coolest things I've done in a long while but I'm not going to be able to make it. I live in Rockford and work in Hoffman Estates... and get off at 2:30PM. There's not a chance in the world that my wife is going to let me stick around in Schaumburg all night. Everyone have a freaking awesome time and be sure to post pics so I can at least pretend.

Blast.

I have arranged a special training exercise for crewmembers 17 and older, utilizing squad-oriented combat simulation LIVEware, for Thursday, Nov. 4, from 18:00 – 21:00 Pacific time ...


I swear, since this went up last night, I thought this was all going down on Sunday ... on Halloween. I don't know why I didn't get to the part about Thursday. Anyway, I'll still bee there.

I would like to point out though I admire and even adore some of you - sit down and wipe that silly grin off your face angelo..... - I still am jealous beyond belief - I use my best, last George Castanza excuse to get yesterday off and coordinate - now.... no way to get to Chicago.

So, one request from all of you going - please take a pic of yourselves there, and pics/vid of the event and pass it along. If I can't be there - at least I can enjoy it vicariously through others

I'll do you one better man. The second I walk in the door and find the Goddess squad I will whip out my phone, dial your number and the ladies and I will give you the loudest 'Hoo Hah' you've ever heard in your life.

At which point I fully expect a loud uproar from all the Chicago-ian beekeepers chanting Buzz Kill, Buzz Kill...

Plus I'll get a pic with the ladies and send it to you.

Ok, I've been looking into ways to get to the event from O'Hare without taking a taxi the entire way, and I found the train schedule. They leave right from O'Hare, but the problem is there isnt a Train station near the event. I've also looked into the bus schedule but I cant find the event on the map http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/maps/F2004NW.html that I found. If anyone knows the bus system very well and can tell me what route to take, or if it isn't possible at all, that'd be great. I can always take a cab if I need to, but I'd rather not spend ~$25 each way if it's possible.

Just for the record, I think the 17 year old age limit is due to the game being rated M for mature.

Team Double Barrel ramping up for Chicago exercise

Well, from what I've found out about the bus/train schedule in Chicago, it doesn't look like any buses/trains get anywhere near the event. The event looks like it is about 10 miles west/northwest from the airport, and the buses don't go that far west. If anyone can confirm/deny this it'd be great, or let me know if they can think of another way to possibly get to the event from O'Hare It looks like I might have to take the $20-30 cab after all, which sucks, but it's worth it I guess.
