Have no idea about IL, but you have to wear one in MI.

what, am i swinging by to get you? thought we were meeting in CHI.
Never mind. I thought you were asking about the helmet laws in IL.
I'll be in Chicago the first weekend of May.

Not for a show, I should clarify. Family thing. But I'd love to meet up with anyone who wants to meet up.
Uh oh, Mothers Day weekend. I probably will not be able to make it, unless you get in on Friday.
What's mother's day doing so early??? Friday lunch can possibly be arranged. I'm thinking of driving instead of flying, in which case I would drive on Thursday most likely.
Jim, I owe you a big thank you. There's a festival that I was supposed to play on mother's day weekend, and I hadn't even considered the fact that mother's day might be the same weekend, since it's usually later. I still have time to gracefully bow out. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you.

I've got a lot of stuff planned for the early summer but if it ended up being later in the summer, I might be able to join you all.
Chicago is too far to drive and too close to fly, but if anyone is heading westward and wants to break their journey at Casa de Jammies, he, she or they is/are welcome to stop over.

Where are you playing in Chicago, Pi? It might be cool to organize the meet around one of Pi's gigs, don't you think?
i thought hugh hefner trademarked the name house of pajamas?
He may have, Kevin, but Casa de Jammies is MY house no matter what that decrepit, disgusting weasel thinks.

I'll be there for my cousin's Bar Mitzvah. Then I started musing about seeing if I could work a show into the weekend, though it would have to be solo. I used to play at Uncommon Ground, so I'll probably check their schedule first, once I found out which evenings the family events commit me to.
Would your cousin mind if all of TC crashed his Bar Mitzvah?
Ha! This is going to be a very small Bar Mitzvah, not one of the fancy big ones, so you'd probably be noticed. Hey, what relationship is he to me if he's my father's first cousin's grandson? It means he's one generation off from mine. Is that second cousin, once removed?
I never remember how the second cousin and/or once removed thing works, Sarah, but it does sound like a pretty distant relation. I haven't been to a Bar Mitzvah since I was a teenager and had friends who were Bar Mitzvah boys. It was always a lot of fun. Enjoy it.
Thanks, Jonathan. I wasn't actually trying to emphasize the distance of the relationship. His parents and I are good friends. I just feel weird saying "cousin" with the implied same-generation thing.
I know what you mean. Some of my cousins' younger kids refer to me as their uncle because saying cousin seems somehow a little off.
Sarah, I think he's your first cousin twice removed. I think.

I delegate this task to someone who knows how to do this task."
Is this task still up for grabs? I could do it.

Go for it, Gail!Sarah, my brother plays at Uncommon Ground every time he comes through town. I used to live right by there.
if your common ancestor is your grandparent, it's your first cousin; great-grandparent, it's your second cousin. The generational thing comes in as once-removed, twice-removed. Does that make sense?I use people in my family to remind me what the difference is.
I have made a start. I PM'ed a copy to RA but he hasn't replied yet.

Ahhhh, I forgot he likes to go to bed early. Would you like me to send you a copy?
no he doesn't....i mean....errrr....he prob doesn't
Heh. Gail, that map is awesome! Post away!I was asleep by about nine last night. We're in the first week of classes, twelve hour day today...
Ok...June, July, or August? Let's narrow this sucker down.

I'll be near Chicago in October. My niece is getting married in Barrington, world capitol of the mega-mansion.
My brother in law is a divorce attorney there and in Crystal Lake. He makes pretty good money, I understand.
world capitol of the mega-mansion huh? that is pretty interesting. kokomo is the world capitol of the "white trash house with broken down AMC Pacer in yard with porch falling off and visqueen on the windows"

There's no rule that says a car has to be beautiful to be eligible for Collectible Classic status. The AMC Pacer isn't beautiful. It's definitely different, though, and people notice it. Behind the wheel, you're an instant celebrity. Other drivers honk, wave, and smile.
Great pics of a restored Pacer here:

My BIL owned a Pacer as his first car. A yellow Pacer. It still makes me laugh.
who famously drove a 1977 Pacer in a movie?
It sounds like the answer should be "Shaft!" based on the phrasing, but I don't think that's true.
