I used the search funtion and found nothing...also checked the Sox website and found nothing, so i figured i'd post this. If there's a thread out there somewhere or this is old news, sorry.

 

During the game tonight DJ announced that Soxfest 2006 will take place Jan 27-29. Just thought i'd throw the date out there for those that need to plan things out way in advance. I think there was a number to call to start making reservations, but i wasn't really paying attention to the details, just the dates.

 

I'll be back at school at that time (last year soxfest fell on the last weekend of winter break), but i'm hoping to make it up from Champaign with Steve for the entire weekend.

i havent heard. can anyone tell me how much are tickets?

I couldn't fit the 2005 one into my schedule, but 2006 will be different. Can't wait to see my world champion White Sox at Soxfest!

Is that Super Bowl Sunday again?

what else will we have to do?

 

 

it should be a blast, especially if there are a few more fellow soxtalkers there this year. So me and keith won't get made fun of so often.

Jas wants me to come, but airfare is RIDICULOUS.

 

I'm not sure why he wants me there, but he's strange like that.

This is all we've gotten so far.

With the car that doesn't exist? Didn't bring one to Ames, plus it'd be a HAUL.

Ames to Chicago???? I've done that trip on three seperate occasions. It's far from a haul...plus its a very scenic drive

It is when you get lost in Chicago.

This is almost southern Iowa I'm living in. Northern Iowa, maybe, but down south here they are a bit strange. Too close to Missourah.

I'll steal a nice bike here on campus. It's not like the weather will be too bad in mid January....

Is that Super Bowl Sunday again?

 

No.

There's a small inkling that I may be actually able to go to this, depending if I'm in the States of course.

This might help Sox Fest 2006

Can't you take a train to the Quad Cities and then connect to another one to Chicago?

No Amtrak thru Ames. If I was gonna go, I'd want to fly because of free shuttles to DSM from the campus.

Oooh, I'm sorry. I lived (almost) in Iowa for 4 years. It sucks big time.

Hey I never fell last winter

I'll be there.

Ross, you going this year? I oughta be there.

I just hope they don't try to charge me more money if I get the 2-night package and have a group of 4 like they did last year.

 

Supposedly the price is based on 2 people in the room even though they give you 4 passes...

Hyatt says the packages can't be booked until October 15th.

 

This conflicts with what the Soxfest hotline and website says.

 

I emailed Brooks on this and am awaiting response.
