Don't know if anyone would be interested but on August 9th at 31st street harbor in Chicago they are putting on Aquapalozza. Looks like it might be fun, Music, Food court, Beer garden. You have to reserve in advance as they have limited spots. You get the slip for two days and four wrist bands to the event for $75. (that's for the standard package, VIP was more) You can get more info @ http://www.chicagoharbors.info/aquapalooza
I just reserved mine today.
FYI....If you launch from 31st street they make you drop your trailer at the McCormick Place lot which is down the street. No overnite parking at the harbor.

A bunch of us will probably be running down there for the day from Hammond to check it out

So did anyone go?

We went, had a good time. There weren't too many boats out on the water on Saturday, pretty nasty out. Winds were out of the NNE 15-20MPH

Ya that's why we didn't go. Didn't feel like getting beat up.

Sorry we missed you
