ITINERARY for the Whoniverse Photoshoot - The Fourth Regeneration
We finally have an itinerary! DRINK AT THE PUB! (JACK's BUYING!)
(Some locations had to be scouted, and the weather wasn't cooperating along with real life, but here we go!)
Whoniverse Photoshoot - The Fourth Regeneration
First of all, anyone is invited to come, whether you have a costume or not. Its just a fun day of geekiness and exploring different parts of the Chicago area.
10:00am - Meet up at Eli's Cheesecake World and Cafe
(6701 West Forest Preserve Drive, Chicago, IL)
Eli's has a cafe that seats about 50 people, and will have breakfast goodies such as sandwiches, sugar free dark chocolate lattes, and of course cheesecake. Prices are really reasonable. They also have free wifi. The cafe opens at 9:00am. We will be there by 9:30am for anyone who gets there early. A true Chicago tradition to start off the day.
10:30am - Wilbur Wright College (City Colleges of Chicago)
(Narrangansett Avenue and Montrose Avenue, Chicago, IL)
One of our favorite locations from the past comes back. Wright College has a lot of open land, a building shaped like a pyramid and architecture that looks like futuristic buildings from the 1970's - perfect vibe for the Whoniverse. It also has free parking. We will meet in the B parking lot located off Neenah Avenue. With this location, we also have access to the interior of the building with its tubular tunnels and bathrooms!
1:00pm - LUNCH BREAK! (Will be decided on location.)
2:30pm - Scoville Park
(Oak Park Avenue between Lake Street and Ontario Street, Oak Park, Illinois)
This park takes us into Oak Park (for those familiar with the area it is downtown Oak Park where the Harry Potter book release parties were held), full of architecture, some flower gardens, a gorgeous World War I Memorial and right next to the Oak Park Library. Bathrooms in the library, ability to move around the city and decent parking. Bring quarters for parking, there are limited free spaces. Meters are $1/hour.
Follow-up - Several of us were going to grab dinner at Flattop Grill one block down Lake Street. You are invited to come with. If you are a student, they have discounts with your Student ID.
Look forward to seeing everyone and hanging out again! All locations are accessible by public transportation, plus a couple people will be driving, so carpooling is available as well. You do not need to join us all day (work, classes, etc.), which is why we have the itinerary - you can just meet us at the next location. If you want to double-check where people are, please PM me for my phone number. You can also follow the insanity by following TheatreGirl79 that day on twitter.
Questions? Rides needed? Costumes?
