Hello, CONfab 2023 attendees! We're looking to gauge interest on a potential Thursday Outing for October 19th. However, as it requires a specific amount of people in order to make it feasible, we'd like to see how many people are willing to commit to attending the outing before making any firm decisions.
We're proposing a visit to The Catcade, a cat café, rescue, and arcade. Due to limited space, reservations are highly recommended. Up to six people can attend individually for $17 a person, with each person needing to make their own reservation. The Catcade offers hour-long blocks and is open from noon to 8 p.m. on Thursdays. Reservations include free arcade games and one soft drink. We would likely have a noon reservation.
For more than six people (up to 15 total), a group reservation is required. This costs $250 for one hour. In order for this to be cost effective, we would need a minimum of 12 people (so between 12 to 15 total). This $250 reservation is non-refundable.
Other costs for this outing would be about $5 for transportation. We will take the free hotel shuttle to the closest L Blue Line station, then take the L into Chicago and transfer to a bus that runs from the L station to a bus stop about a minute walk from The Catcade. The address of The Catcade is available on its website if you want to look at the area on Google Maps. We would leave the hotel about 10:30 a.m. to arrive on time.
We're asking attendees to fill out this Google Form if you would attend this outing and if you can commit to paying for part of a group reservation if we have enough people. If you're not interested in this particular outing but would be interested in a different outing, please respond as well, so we can gauge overall interest.
