This post is specifically addressed to those needing carpools to the slip n’ slide party (if you need a ride and are not mentioned, give me a shout) . . .
OK, from what I’m seeing, these people (and any other miscellaneous folk they bring along) need or are part of a carpool trekking up to the party:
Genenda (coming from Nashville, IL – that’s southern IL)
Torrie (coming from Springfield)
Kansas (coming from Eureka, right?)
Jerry (coming from Bloomington)
Sarah Joy (you’re over by Rockford, correct?)
First of all, introductions – everybody, Jerry is a swell guy I knew in high school and when I worked at a local movie theater. Jerry, everybody else listed are fine folks that I met, in some way shape or form, through Eureka College. Everybody shake hands.
Cool.
OK. Genenda and Torrie were already planning on carpooling up and the last I heard they were still open to other riders (more riders means easier gas bills for all). Now depending on the size of the car in question, it is possible to squeeze everyone mentioned into the trip . . .
Genenda would go from Nashville to Springfield, and Torrie/Genenda could then travel north to Bloomington/Eureka. Torrie/Genenda/Jerry/Kansas could then head up north via 39, which will take them to the Rockford area, on the way to my place, to get Sarah Joy. And then the mayaham and fun as the payoff.
Of course this might not be possible. Everyone’s to and return trip times might not sink up, or maybe some of the above mentioned people are bringing people with them (which is certainly encouraged). We could then split into two caravans with Torrie/Genenda coming up on their own (or with whoever they bring) via 55 (or whatever their preferred route). Maybe Kansas (and whatever other people from Eureka he can nab) pick up Jerry in Bloomington and head up 39 (with a stop in Rockford for Sarah Joy).
Or maybe there is a combination/solution I haven’t mentioned.
Feed me input my fellow revelers . . .

Greetings, everyone. My only need is to be home some time late Sunday evening, but not too late. I have an exam Monday morning. I can provide gas money and a multitude of musical selections. Feel free to make any requests if there’s something you’re dying to hear.

I talked to Torrie last night and I THINK I’m coming up in the T&G car….
P.S. As of now, I can leave/return whenever is convenient for others.
If you folks are down with helping out a friend of a friend and there’s room left in the car, someone can call me at 847-641-0245 to work out further details.

If we could work any of that out, that’d be great. Just give me a time to be ready. From Eureka, it takes about 1.75 hours to get to my house. Directions:
Take 39 up to Rockford. Exit west (toward Freeport) on Bypass 20. Continue West until you find South Main exit North (it’s not very far, you’ll pass two other possible exits on the way). Head north on South Main and turn left at the first stop light on Southrock Drive (about 50 feet from the exit ramp). Turn left on Central and turn right (you are now heading west) on Simpson Rd. You will drive almost the entirety of Simpson Rd when you will stumble onto my house. The address: 6720 Simpson Rd. It’ll be a big blue house on the south side of the road, which would be to your left. In case you get lost, my phone # is 815-601-9264. Thanks to whoever volunteeris to pick me up! It is greatly appreciated.
Okay, scratch that entire post. My family has now made some plans for Saturday night and I’ve been asked to participate in my church service. So I won’t be able to even make it to the party. Sorry Josh. I really wanted to go.

We’ll have a toast in your honor.
