I'll be attending Control4 training this week in Chicago, and I'll have Wed and Thurs evening where I could meet up with one of you guys.

PM if you are interested, and I can get you my phone number. I'm leaving early Monday morning, but I will be able to check my email with my phone.
Tschüss

    If you're looking to go out with people and you like Brazilian BBQ, you should check out Fogo de Chao in downtown Chicago. It's one of only 10 US locations and originated in Brazil......My sister first went there in Dallas, and then was in Brazil for a few years and checked it out down there as well.........the food is GREAT........

    If anything, go for lunch since dinner is $50 each and the only difference is one or two meat options. Lunch is either $25 or $30 if I remember correctly. Otherwise, you get the same salad bar, and all other sides/courses are the same.

    It would have to be dinner, as we are having lunch provided to us on-site. I'm staying fairly close to Ohare, but my training is downtown, and have a rental car, so most anywhere is fine.

    I could meet with you on Thursday, if you'd like. Are you a big beer fan or not? If so, there's a fantastic brewpub that I frequent. Tell me what you like and I can provide recommendations. The best places to go out are in the neighborhoods, not downtown, IMO.

    42 miles door to door from home in Belvidere to the office in Schaumburg, the first 35 miles of the commute are at 80 mph without much traffic. So it's not too bad. I usually work from home 1 or 2 days per week. I'm just not a suburb type person :cool:
