How many people are you expecting to show up for the Friday night festivities?

As far as parks around that area there isn't all that much. I work less than a mile from the Marriott. Well check that...there is a park but it's in Park Ridge and once it gets the dark the Park Ridge police will more than likely be rolling by check out what the group is doing. I'm not sure if they have any laws restricting alcoholic beverages in their parks.

There is a RAM brewery / restaurant about a mile from the hotel that probably could fit everyone. We go there a lot for work functions. On the south side of the expressway there is a Bennigan's and just east of the hotel there is a Hooter's.

I guess it depends on if people will be eating or just drinking. If most people will be eating we may want to try and get a reservation at the RAM. Prices are not that bad and the beer is decent. Not sure what the Marriott offers as far as food service in the bar goes.
