We left from 3CK on the Northwest side of the Chicago Class Bravo airspace
headed to Vicksburg, MS. The Friday we left was a lousy IMC day and
conditions at our fuel stop, Cape Gerardo were bad, we delayed departure by
two hours in hopes our destination would improve from below minimums as
'promised' in the forecast. We departed in IMC and it was going to be solid
for the first hour or so. We got held for release on the ground by Chi-App
for about 10 minutes but were able to get into the system.

Curious - did you get your release via FSS or 120.25? If possible, I
try to pick my clearance up in the air as approach doesn't answer
120.25 too often.
