While i won't be joing this railfest is it possible I could just meet up with you guys for the Chicago stuff. I would come in on 351 the wolverine which if nothing goes wrong arrives around noon. then catch 354 which leaves at 6PM.
I know I'd like that
Technicalities suck and legal name changes are a mess after it happens.

I don't know you, but we've never turned anyone away! We've met up with many people over the years who just showed up and joined us on the trains not being on the published list of expected participants. So yes it's possible; just show up and you can join us. However.... as I've declared this Fest over once the group arrives in Chicago, you do run the risk of not riding trains with us should anything go wrong with our inbound City of New Orleans, or your inbound train. As I said earlier, past experience has been unkind to us in Chicago as planned activities didn't happen because of limited time between inbound and outbound connections.While i won't be joing this railfest is it possible I could just meet up with you guys for the Chicago stuff.

If something in Chicago does materialize, then we can give you credit for being part of a "post-Fest".

I don't know you,
If it helps I could wear my nametag from the other forum. Would that be a sin or not. I been to 2 of the get togethers on the other forum but i just joined this one.

It'll help that you'll theoretically be able to recognize about half the people that are currently slated to appear, I think, if your memory behaves well enough. (What, I know mine behaves selectively well at its best). But if you think it'll help us find you, I say go ahead.
EDIT: Ideally, I'll be wearing this hat during at least part of the week. The pins may or may not still be there by time of travel. They may migrate to something else I have with me. http://www.flickr.co...olr/5530120897/

This is the tentative (a word I can't stress enough!) intinerary for Chicago assuming we have the time. The CTA trip could be earlier, but most likely not much later to allow time for lunch in advance of the Metra trip, which is more static based on its schedule. Apologies for all the pink, but that's just the way things worked out best.
