I think we should just meet up at Steak N Shake due to the fact that it's a "sit down" restaurant, but it's fast food, it's cheap and we should have no problem getting a table big enough for all of us to sit together. There is one located right off of I 74 in Champaign which would probably be the best and easiest location for everyone to find.

Steak N Shake
2010 N. Prospect Ave. (I 74, exit 181)
Champaign, IL 61882


We can meet at Steak N Shake at 1:00 p.m. and grab something to eat. From there we can head to a park to hang out, check out cars, etc.

@ Sdwndr2: Since you know Champaign, would you do me a favor and try to find a park for us to hang out at after we're done eating, preferably one that's as close to the Steak N Shake listed above as possible. I would appreciate it so much Steve. Thanks a ton .

Well...That Steak N Shake is in the middle of our "business district" basicly, so there isnt really any parks relatively close to there. There is one park thats about 5 miles away from there that has a big parking lot, but there isnt a guarantee on there not being anyone there in the lot. Also it would depend on how many people you would expect to show up. I can try to think of other parks but there really isnt any around here with lots or anything of that nature. Ill try my hardest tot hink of something. Let me know if theres any other places that you would want to try to go, and also. what made you guys decide to come to champaign? I've waited forever for people to come here and no one has, its very exciting!

The park that's about five miles from Steak N Shake would be fine. As far as other people being there, that's fine too. We'll be hanging out by the cars so we'll be able to keep an eye on them and all. I am thinking there shouldn't be more than 10-12 cars total. Basically what made us decide on Champaign is it is pretty much in the middle between Sandwich where me and two other members live and Paris where Kurt lives. Kurt and I were talking the other night and decided we would just meet up in Champaign since no one else was really showing any interest in getting together anywhere else. Definitely let me know if you come up with any other places, but I think the park that's about five miles from Steak N Shake would be okay. Thanks a ton Steve. Can't wait to meet ya .

Don't forget about me, I live in Lincoln its bout an hour half drive but I will be there. I have yet to get to a j-body meet even one just local s this should be a blast. Also, is that the Steak-N-Shake kinda by the campus cuz if it is there we could jus go over to the Assembly hall parking lot and chill there. If that isnt the same steak-n-shake then there is one by the campus jus for info purposes (also very easy to find)





Re: request for another IL meet
Thursday, June 29, 2006 2:48 PM
that is a very good idea brandon, I totally forgot about the assembly hall even though I live here.


Re: request for another IL meet
Thursday, June 29, 2006 2:54 PM
dont worry bout it i have season tix so i kno my way round Champaign, plus the fact i was born in Urbana, but ne way. I think it would be a very good idea and that S-N-S isnt mucxh harder to find at all. Plus a very spacious parkin lot at U of I and good photo op with Assembly hall. Let me kno.


P.S. wat is the date set for?





Re: request for another IL meet
Thursday, June 29, 2006 3:04 PM
its set at saturday july 29th. And we will meet for lunch around 1. The onyl thing we're worried about right now is whether or not cops will give us a hard time at the assembly hall. My uncle is a U of I cop, and im going to ask him to make sure, and if that falls through were gonna shoot for lake of the woods in mahomet.



Re: request for another IL meet
Thursday, June 29, 2006 3:10 PM

Awsome, are you going to be able to come hang out for a little while, and by the way, I think were meeting at the steak n shake on neil street by the assembly hall, then hanging out at the assembly hall parking lot, my unclke said we should be all good there as long as we dont cause attention to ourselves which I doubt we will. So come on people....give me times on when youll be in and if you need directions

Okay, so any idea what the address for the Steak N Shake we're going to meet at is? And after we eat we're going to go hang out by the assembly hall? Sounds good to me. Thanks again for helping with the planning and locations and all Steve .

Alrighty. Thanks again Steve. I can't wait to meet you .

I have three chairs I'll bring with me. We'll have to figure out what everyone has and is willing to bring with them, so we know what we'll need. We also may want to bring a cooler or two with some soda, water, etc. in case it's hot out.

Awesome! We could definitely meet up at Hahn seeing as Nick and Joe both live in Yorkville. I just entered the directions from my house and it's looking like we could meet up at Hahn and then just head south down Route 47 until we get to I 74 and then we'd be right by the exit for the Steak N Shake. Keep in touch so we can plan ahead.

1. Brandon
2. Carrie
3. Steve
4. Kurt
5. Joe
6. Dave - maybe
7. Nick - maybe
8. Matt - maybe








Re: request for another IL meet

Yeah, not bad at all. Possibly 9-11 if you factor in Kurt's non-J-Body friends. I will definitely keep you updated on stuff .

I will keep the information that I just posted on every page so other people can find it if they need to.

Nah... I'm not a fan of all sorts of quizzes all over the place and stuff like that. It makes it too hard to read the page. Besides, I'm a simple person which is why my car is pretty much stock .
