Here is my final e-mail on details. I am breaking it up to avoid
sending out one huge e-mail

Saturday:

12:30 p.m.: Lunch at Hard Rock Cafe Hard Rock Cafe - 63 W Ontario (312)
943-2252 all lunches are being hosted by Ginger. If you want to come,
just show up. Last year I was pleasantly surprised by Hard Rock Cafe.
The food and service was quite good. The prices were OK. And of coarse
you get to see all the rock and roll memorabilia.

10 am to 8 pm: Open house at Rachel's Wigs and Beauty Salon, 1833 West
Irving Park Road, Chicago, Illinois 60613 (773) 528-6960
www.geocities.com/rachelswigs. Rachel and Velma are having an open house
for the first time for Pinkfest. They will have hors d'oeuvres for us.
They will also be happy to teach us about make-up, have us try on wigs,
etc. Their shop does cater to the needs of MTF transgender people.
Rachel and Velma have been great supporters of Chicago's transgender
community.

The store is close to the CTA Brown line. I suggest calling the store
for directions. It is also a relatively short drive from both Hard Rock
Cafe (take Ohio east to Lake Shore Drive, north to Irving Park, then
west to store) and to Ann Sathers (take Irving Park east to Halsted,
turn right to go south to Belmont , turn right on Belmont and Ann
Sathers parking is a little past Clark on left side).

6:30 p.m.: Happy hour (Ann Sathers)
7:00 p.m.: Dinner (Ann Sathers)
9ish: Boystown Bars

Ann Sathers 929 W. Belmont (773) 348-2378 on the south side of Belmont
between Sheffield and Clark, just east of the El. Ann Sathers has free
parking in a lot on the south side of Belmont a few doors east of AS's.
Be careful if parking in the residential areas, as many of them are
parking by zone permit only.

If coming by train, take either the Red Line (State St subway) or the
Brown Line (Ravenswood El) to Belmont. AS's is just east of the station
on Belmont.

Meet just inside entrance by bar. Ann Sathers has no liquor licence but
BYOB is OK. I am will to pick up something if you let me know. Ginger
was also generous last year. Ann Sathers will supply us soft drinks as
mixers.

This is also part of a Southern Belle Society Social.

Ann Sathers staff has always treated us great. They have good Swedish
and American food at fair prices.

later: Boystown bars

Please phone to catch up with the group after dinner. My cell phone
number is (847) 555-5555. Keep trying, it may be loud where we are at
the time. :) I am suggesting starting at Sidetracks. Last year we hung
out at Gentry on Halsted.

Sunday

12:30 pm Lunch at Rainforest Cafe, 605 N Clark. This is tentative
pending Ginger's OK or an alternate suggestion. Cambridge is closed so
Ginger needs to final another Sunday lunch spot. This is the final
lunch hosted by Ginger.

5:00 pm Farwell Dinner at the Chop House, 60 W. Ontario This time is
iffy. I do not think I will be able to come so please plan it
yourselfs. The Chop House is a very good but expensive steak house.

I am looking forward to seeing you all soon.

hugs,
Elena
