Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
Fellow Herpers,
This Tuesday, March 6, Brian Potter will again be travelling to Springfield, IL to fight for us in court. Today at the Expo, I was placed on a list to go with a group to show our support. The woman from the Expo will be calling me later in the week with further details. I don't know if there will be a bus involved or if we will all be carpooling or what will be arranged for the day. I know it's a four hour drive and we will be leaving around 8.
If you are interest in showing your support, in a courtroom where it matters most, AND CAN MAKE THE TRIP, please PM me and I'll be happy to share the details.
Let's to this!

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
I'm really excited and feel proud to go represent!! I hope we have a huge turn out.
Where's all my sSNAKESs people at?! Come on! I need a ride! Lol jk. I think can get a ride.
Seriuosly, no one else can go? Who has a Sick Day left, or a Personal or Vacation Day left in 2012? Raise your hands.
Some jobs will even let you trade a day off with a colleague, or even just for another day of the week. If your day off is Wednesday, try to get it switched to Tuesday.
Sometimes you'd be amazed at the available options.

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
I used to live in Illinois (north Chicago suburbs), but don't anymore. I've been to Springfield, though. I really enjoyed the surrounding area (New Salem), but Springfield itself was a bit run down. If I still lived there, I'd gladly take you. Enjoy your time there and take pictures.

I'm in the Northwest Suburbs! Yeah, Springfield sure doesn't look to be a capitol city!

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
I know where Elgin is.  I grew up in the Skokie/Evanston/Willmette area in a tiny town that nobody's ever heard of.

Well if you ever come back to the area for any reason, you've got an open dinner reservation at our home. Remember, Marcy's a chef..

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
That sounds awesome. I don't know when I'll be back, though.

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
I lived forty-five minutes NW of Springfield and can honestly say the capital blows chunks. Good luck Roy.

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
Update: This hearing has again been postponed, so no trip to Springfield tomorrow. I'll keep you all up to date. Hopefully more of us will be able to band together and attend on the new date.
'Til next time,
Boid Boy

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
Another Update;
Hearing is now back on! 401 S 2nd St., Springfield, IL. I also have the room & time, but left that downstairs. Bummed cuz we only have 1 car now, and with Marcy found daycare, I can't leave her without it. No one is carpooling, and only one person that I know of is going. NOT HAPPY!

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
Final update in this: I AM GOING! I told all of you I'd be there and I don't lie very well. I'll take some pics when I can...
The one thing I've found the need and passion to fight for is my hobby! am not going to allow a four-hour ride keep me from exercising myvright as an Americen.
I've also been wanting to see my dad, so it's just another few hours south. I'm making a few days of it.
Sincerely,
Boid Boy

Re: Roadtrip to IL State Capitol
Springfield and fun don't quit belong in the same sentence. Unless you like watching corn grow.
