I'll probably walk somewhere for dinner (gotta do the cuisine while I'm in town).

 

However, I'll definitely be in Knuckles most the evening, not sure how I'd recognize anybody here though.

 

 

 

We don't usually go there. We gather upstairs at the Atrium Bar.

Well, I don't know if I can walk that far.

 

Any particular area? It sounds like you have a large contingent.

We're easy to spot. Just look for a group of people with several tables moved together. Usually near the back of the bar (furthest from the check in desk closest to the stairs going down to Knuckles). Or just ask for the Soxtalk or WSI group. We all hang together up there.

gage, you'll just be following me, i know my way around

Mom...i mean Steff...I'm in for the Houlihan's gathering, thanks for the email.

 

I'll be holding on to Steff's hand all weekend, as i have never been to soxfest before.

 

If there is an under 21 gathering, i guess i could attend even though i'm much older than that crowd, lol...the 3 people in my room are all under 21 anyway.

Good to hear you will be there Krush, it was good to meet you at the tailgate and it'll be nice to see you at the fest.

 

Maybe we can even talk some college hoops.

You're welcome sweetie.

 

I got a cool Sox leash for you...

 

I assume this would be a good time for all of us to gather. Unless you guys plan on having one of those super secret underage hotel room drinking partes.. I think I read that SS5 offered to bring beer earlier in this thread..

Aboz, definitely look forward to seeing you there. There will be plenty of college hoops to talk...Illinois plays at NW on Saturday at 3:30, so i'll have to catch that game in the room.

 

I can't wait to see how tight Steff has this leash on me...

 

Under 21 people are welcome in my room to drink if need be

This will be my first SoxFest, but I'm not going until Sunday. Do the players that are listed to be there appear on all 3 days?

No they don't. Usually they appear for a couple of hours, for a limited amount of autographs twice a weekend.

We're up to 17. Just a reminder that if you want to join us you need to let me know by tomorow..

I'm coming from out of town, taking the train in from Midway....   OK, fine...   That was for people who are driving in from out of town.   Ya pain in the ass...

I want to know if I can hang with some people at soxfest...if that's cool, flip me a PM. Don't want to be alone in the autograph lines or at the lobby...

I'll be there all weekend...have the hotel package. Looking forward to it.

has anyone ever gotten the hotel package? if so, how is it? I've only gone for sox fest never stayed in the hotel.

I forgot, when do they normally release the schedule for soxfest?

Reservation is set for 6:30pm on Saturday January 15th. It's under Stephanie. If anyone else wants in please let me know. They will be unable to accomidate more people unless I let them know in advance.

Cool. Thanks for setting this up Steff

The hotel package rules. You save a ton of money and you don't have to go out into the freezing cold after staying up all night at the bar.

 

Is there anyone who is going that is going to wait in lines for autographs or be there til late friday night...I'll be there friday for sure...

 

Maybe we could meet in the lobby and go on soxtalk with my wireless laptop later on...

 

The White Sox Welcome...

 

Right Fielder, Jermaine Dye

Left Fielder, Scott Podsednik

Reliever, Louis Vizcaino

Reliever, Dustin Hermanson

Starting Pitcher, Orlando "El Duque" Hernandez

Catcher, AJ Pierzynski

Second basemen, Iguchi

 

Wow! Can't wait to see all your happy faces there!!!

Wonder what the chances are that AJ gets added to the Soxfest lineup.

 

Would definitely be a great thing to see.

 

If not, I'll have to try and get him to sign out in Tucson.

That be cool if he were to make it. I want to hear some interview of him tomorrow on the major stations.

Does anyone happen to know the schedule for next weekend?

 

I'm going on Friday and just wondering who I'll be seeing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Hope to see some of you there.

No announcement on schedule yet, but I have been checking in anticipation. I will be going on Saturday and am trying to figure out the best time to go.

 

Also, I received a bunch of Sox gift certificates for Xmas this year and SoxFest info indicates individual game tickets will be on sale at the fest. Does anyone know if these gift certificates can be used there or only at the Cell box office? Besides next Friday, what are the hours of the box office?
