The Cascade drive-in is located off of rt 64 (North ave) and is somewhat between Streets and Compton.
The schedule will be as follows:
5:30 - 7:00PM MEET @ Streets
7:00 - 7:30PM DRIVE to CASCADE
7:30 - 8:00PM PARK for "Transformers"
8:00 - 10:30PM WATCH movie
10:30 - CRUISE
Streets of Woodfield (Schaumburg)

(In the map, the oval represents where we should try to meet. (If that area is pretty full, the spaces closer to the frontage road/highway will also work. BTW, for reference the square is $tarbuck$. If the area in front of frontage road is full, please meet on the other side of Dick's sporting goods (circled in blue), closest to the corner of Martingale and Woodfield Rd--the road inbetween Streets and the Main Woodfield Mall.)
Weather: (weather.com | accuweather)
DO NOT DRIVE LIKE AN @SSHAT WHILE YOU LOOK FOR US OR ARE WITH US. ALSO: NO BURNOUTS. NO REVVING. NO "DRIFTING". NO STEREO BLASTING. NO LITTERING.
Here are the meet rules:

If you don't have one already, bring an FRS (e.g. Motorola Talkabout) radio that can do privacy/security channels. You'll have a much better time during the cruise.

Here's more information on the radios...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_Radio_Service
http://www.gmrsweb.com/codetable.html <- CTCSS/Privacy/Security code translation table
Whatever brand you get, make sure it's got the CTCSS/Privacy/Security codes so you can talk with us.... so far the three interoperable brands appear to be Cobra, Midland, and Motorola. (Their privacy/CTCSS codes match).
Cheaper FRS radios only have channels 1-14. FRS radios with the CTCSS/Privacy/Security sub-channels have channels 1-14 with subchannels 1-38 in each main channel, ala 1^1-1^38 - 14^1-14^38.
You can still listen into conversations on equipment that doesn't support subchannels, but you can't speak/broadcast.

Thanks! But we've got nothing on the view from club411
we like your photos as well.
(BTW, not above Home Depot, but not that far away either--sorry to be soo hush hush but in order to allow for future re-use we're very low key about where our locations are
)
