Being innovative and totally cool, I thiought I would start a "share a ride to IGOLD" thread.
I am headed down early Wednesday morning. I have room for three. I live west of Sandwich and will use I-80 to I-39 down to Bloomington and then I-55 to Springfield. I will be returning the same night, reversing the route.
I do not smoke (and nor will passengers in my wife's car because I fear her above all others)
Want me to pick you? Send me a PM or use my profile to send me an email

If you're going to be in Springfield after IGOLD, think about coming out to the after-IGOLD reception at the Vinegar Hills Mall. It's a few blocks south of the Capitol, and there'll be buffets and live music.

What time will that be starting?

Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks"

My wife and I would be willing to meet in Mendota. It looks like I procrastinated too long on getting a seat on the bus as it says no more sales, or something to that effect. That is unless someone from the Sterling/Rock Falls/Dixon areas is up for carpooling. I'm willing to throw some money in for gas.

Nevermind, it must have been a fluke. I was able to get us seats on the Mendota bus just now. Thanks for your offer though BudMan5

Any details on the after IGOLD reception? This is my first IGOLD, and your post was the first I've heard of the reception. I'm taking Amtrak from Chicago, and my return train doesn't leave until 7:30 pm. This sounds a lot better than grabbing dinner at a restaurant!

Can anyone give a ride down to someone from Villa Park? I can bring him back home afterward, but I'm going a day early .... He is able to meet you downtown chicaqo or anywhere along the metra up-w line. Thanks if you can!
