[Coco] Glenside CCC Picnic/Outing

Tue Oct 15 12:17:02 EDT 2024

Picnickers,

The Glenside Color Computer Club, Inc. is planning a picnic/outing.

Portillo's (Fast food restaurant)

7740 Roosevelt Rd., Forest Park IL 60130

This is a good location with good parking.

Note: Portillo's is 12 minutes away from the Galloping Ghost Pinball and
Arcade.

Galloping Ghost Arcade, 9415 Ogden Ave, Brookfield, IL 60513

Galloping Ghost Pinball, 9211 Ogden Ave, Brookfield, IL 60513

Arcade is $25.00 for all day; you can leave and return.

Pinball is $20.00 for all day and you can leave and return.

Both are $30 for all day and you can leave and return.

For me, it is best to park at the pinball place and then walk to the arcade.

This is a family-friendly event. Bring your friends and the whole family if
you like.

We may want to plan a date when most people will be in town, like the 26th
and 27th.

One of our members may be in town only for the 26th to attend the TI-FEST.
So, I am leaning toward this date.

Glenside CCC may be willing to pick up some of the cost of the event.

Key Terms:

  TI => Texas Instruments

  TI-99/4a => 16-bit home computer of the 1980s.

  TI-FEST => Chicago TI International World Faire

  ab => about

We have two possible dates in mind. Please vote on this forum on what you
would prefer.

Note: Our 1st picnic choice conflicts with the TI-FEST somewhat.

I have a table at the Chicago TI International World Faire, Evanston IL.

The Faire mostly is concerned about the TI-99/4a, but

I am bringing a TI Silent 700 teletype computer terminal.

Come and check it out. About 20-30 people are expected to attend.

This is a club that just keeps carrying on despite low turnout. We can learn
from this.

I like that someone has figured out how to have a low-budget event like
this.
