Of course. :)

That sounds fine. On Thursday afternoon I'm tentatively planning to be
taking some photos for a non-Pinkfest-related project. I'll probably
meet the group out there then. I've never been there but I know where it
is.

I'm sure any of the above would be fine with me, as long as that's what
the group wants to do. However (comma) ...

I enjoyed Hunters and I wouldn't mind going back there again. I know that
Tina will like it, and I think most of the group would like it too.
Only problem is that it's way out in the toolies. If we're out in Oak
Park for dinner, carpool or taxi would make it easily do-able though.
For the trip back, if somebody drives me to the El, I think I'll ask
for O'hare instead of Rosemont this year. :) :) :)
> Commentary: I think Winberies is a good place to meet on Thursday.
I agree that it's most likely an excellent choice for Thursday dinner.

IMAO, Hard Rock is not a must-do. You can go to Hard Rock anywhere. It
was kind of a spur-of-the-moment idea of mine to get as much of the
group together on Thursday for dinner as we could. It was someplace I
knew in the area that I knew everybody would be comfortable with.
Another one in that area which I think the group might like is
Portillo's, but that can wait for Pinkfests to come. :) I've also
always wanted to try the Chicago Chop House, but that can be spendy,
from what I've heard.
