Thank you P12.... I am at the Chicago City Centre. I haven't decided if I am going to Elm Street Liquor ,yet. I didn't have a chance to go last time I was in town.The girls had a blast though. I might this time, but at this point I am just going to make plans as I go. More fun that way.

[p12]

Thats great Star, I'll definitely be there on Wed.
I will be bringing my video camera to capture the "scene".
Its very large (from the 80's) but has terrific image quality. Unfortunately it does not have a light, so I need to find someone to hold the external lights for me

[starcrossed]

We'll, more than likely I will go. Not like I go to Chicago often...LOL Good luck with the camera and lights!

[p12]

Thanks Star, you are as nice as I remember you on the cruise!
With any luck, we will be the only two fans there on Wed. What a pair of ladies we will make! You so petite, quiet and meek, and my large presence, loud and demanding! ;D ....because of our age difference, people will think you are my daughter (or even granddaughter ). Isn't it great how MC.org bring such different fans together!

Star, it's great that you're coming back to Chicago! It will be so nice to see you again.

p12, I hope to be able to make it to Elm St. on Wed. It's usually too long of a drive for me to do it every week, but it will be good to see the fans that are coming into town again.

[starcrossed]

Hello HY!!! I can't wait to see you too!!!!

[bostongirl]

Star - Wow. From a first time flyer, to a frequent flyer in one month. You are going to start to rack up the frequent flyer miles even more than me ;D ;D ;D. Have a great time !!!!

Hi Ladies and gents too! As you can see, sjjo1973 started a new thread called: From Dino with a post from LH.com with a letter to use to request donations.


Dear Friends,

Rockit Bar and Grill and Chicago’s Lovehammers are pleased to announce that we are hosting a Benefit for Craig Rife on June 21, 2007 from 6pm-8pm. Craig tragically passed away due to a snowmobile accident. Rockit and Lovehammers are hosting this benefit to help the Rife family cover all of the expenses and financial burdens left behind from this tragedy.

Enjoy Passed chef choice appetizers, complimentary Bacardi and Shiner Boch Beer Cocktail Reception, silent auction, and a live set by Lovehammers! Best of all, the $20.00 donations at the door and silent auction proceeds will go directly towards Craig Rife’s family.

As a supplement to the benefit, we are putting together a silent auction and are looking for any potential donations from your organization/business. If you have anything in mind, please contact Dan at 708.990.1711 or [e-mail] - Rockit Bar & Grill, Lovehammers, and the Rife family will be forever grateful. Any help you can offer will make a difference.

Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you soon!



The benefit is getting close really fast and donations are really needed. Dino has asked me to do an inventory of what I've collected for the silent auction here at the org. and I don't have to much to tell him besides Iwo and HY awsome confirmed donations! Lets pull together and get some great donations!

Thanks,
Kari (Debbie)

I wish I had something auction worthy to donate, Kari.

[HY]

RF, maybe you could frame one of your pics from the pre-show shoot at Hammercruise and send it to Dan so that the guys could autograph it! That would be a fantastic item to auction off.

Kari, has Dan thought about using e-Bay to auction off some of the items that might have wider interest amoung fans?

[Kari]

I thought about that too. I did throw an auction idea out to Dino a bit back, but I think he's been a bit busy lately. We can ask Dan.

You never know what someone will bid on and in the end every little bit adds up!

[Kari]

RF your pics are phenomenal! There would be great interest in them!

[starcrossed]

Did you get my pm Kari?

[Kari]

I did, thank you!!!!!

[starcrossed]

I sent a reply...think of it as done.

[Cheza]

OH how I wish I could go. I need to check my workshop schedule. I think I have one the day before...not sure about that day...

EDIT: I have a workshop the day before and the day after...so I won't even be able to attempt making it....maybe I will be able to someday soon.
