For those coming to Friday event(s), here are the details:
12:00 noon Lunch at Thyme and Honey which is at 7525 W. Madison (just east
of DesPlaines) in Forest Park. Phone is (708) 771-5752. There is some
street parking in front and additional parking in the rear. It has good
food with a fairly standard american menu with some vegatarian dishes and
moderate prices. The service is very friendly.
You can also take the CTA. From downtown, take the Green line west (not
toward O'Hare) to Harlem avenue. It is about a mile walk. First go south
down Harlem to Madison, then right on Madison to Thyme and Honey.
Aftrwards there is some good shopping in nearby in Oak Park. There is also
Frank Lloyds home and studio and other buildings built by him in the area.
We can decide at lunch if want a daytime activity. Janna had to cancel her
open house because she is moving. She will be at Winberie's for dinner.
Winberies (starting at 6:30): Please RSVP if attending 151 N Oak Park Ave

6:30 Happy half half hour at Bar. Then dinner at 7:00. Winberie's is a
fairly fancy so dress up some if you want. They have very good american
fare and excellent service
9:00 ish - Velvet Rope, 728 W. Lake (north side of Lake and just east of Oak
Park) - This is a new LGBT bar that has recently opened up. It is very
stylish inside with a good selection of high quality brands. They also
serve good but expensive food. It is across the street from Winberies so it
is perfect for a drink or two.
Later -Hideaway: 7301 W. Roosevelt Forest Park, Illinois It is on the north
side of Roosevelt a little west of Harlem Avenue (708) 771-4459. Everyone
had a good time hear last year. The Hideaway is a neighborhood gay/lesbian
bar. The first floor is a nice place to talk. The upstairs has male dancers
and a dance floor.
If you are planning to meet us at the Velver Rope or The Hideaway, just show
up.Call my cell phone (847) 361-2891 to see if we are on schedule. I will
be with Pinkfest all day Friday.
