CRUISE NIGHT SEASON IS HERE!

 

And, with that, another change:

Nanner's has closed, so no cruise nights there on Saturdays.

 

 

Also with that ... ROAD CONSTRUCTION.

 

 

In the below revised listings, the start dates are included. MOST cruise nights last until the end of September or October.

 

 

Remember, I PLAN to attend the following 2011 season cruise nights. I will NOT be able to attend EVERY night or week.

The ones I intend to frequent the most have " *** " in front of them.

So, if you will be at any of them, please let me know...

NOTE:

I will be out of town, June 24 to July 11, and NOT at any Chicagoland cruise nights.

 

 

I have been attending as many cruise nights as possible, including a stretch of 4 in 5 nights (June 1-5) and 7 in 12 nights (June 1-12). Pictures I have taken thus far:

After returning from my road trip, it took about a week to get to a cruise night, but I then went to 5 cruise nights in a row, Wednesday (July 20) to Sunday (July 24) and took a BUNCH more pictures in the process:
