I have not proposed a draft schedule yet. Last year the first draft was in
late August so I was sticking with that schedule.

I am still researching some things but this what I am thinking about
right now.

Thursday: Shopping and/or architectural tour in Oak Park. Dinner at
Winberries. Then go to a nightclub such as Hunters, Temptations, The
Hideaway or the Nutbush. (I plan on visiting The Hideaway and Nutbush
to see what they are like. Both are gay clubs in Oak Park.) Note: Oak
Park is only about 8 miles west of downtown and has more urban feel to
it. It is not a typical Chicago suburb. If attendees would prefer, we
could stick with a Chicago resturant like Ed Debevics or Hard Rock Cafe,
then go to a club.

Friday Night: Open right now with Rudy out of Chicago. I am checking
for live entertainment that night somewhere in Chicago. Someone like
Honey West (a talented female impersonator singing in her own voice,
accompanied by a pianist) would be great. It is still a little bit
early with not many people booked that far ahead. The Baton is also an
option. Dinner would be before at a restaurant convenient to where the
entertainment is.

Friday or Saturday day: Maybe a boat trip along the Chicago River and
Lake Michigan. I am asking friends for companies they would recommend.
I will get schedules for ones which sound good. Diane M. has
volunteered to help with this too.

Saturday night: Maybe dinner at Ann Sathers again, then go bar hopping
in Boys Town. I am asking friends what are the good bars in Boystown,
although I do like Sidetracks.

That is what I am thinking. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Elena
