Brony Breakfast!

[Double 8]

So I want to hold another Brony Breakfast meetup in the city again, but this time I want to hold it at a different restaurant.

Here are the suggestions

1) The Original Pancake House near the Lincoln Park Zoo
2) The Sweet Maple Cafe near UIC (our original meeting place)
3) Ann Sather off the Belmont CTA stop.

All are pretty good eats. What do you all ponies think?

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

Sweet Maple is fantastic and literally right down the block from where I live so that gets my vote 

[Carlos Enriquez]

Not gonna lie, my vote is on Sweet Maple too.

[RaccoonRat]

Sweet Maple is closest to me, so yea.  Just don't know when I can go though.  Starting my second job this week and all.

[Carlos Enriquez]

It would be in the morning, preferably on a sunday.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Shooting maybe for the 14th

[RaccoonRat]

MY BIRTHDAY!!  BUT...that's the day of the Fright Fest meetup.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Totally forgot, man!

Regardless, I want to have it on on this Sunday so we can talk about the Nightmare Night Meetup, too.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Oops, meant that Sunday, the 14th.

[RaccoonRat]

So that means you're not gonna go to fright fest with me, caleb, chris, and possibly dan? 

[Carlos Enriquez]

Still unsure.

[Double 8]

So Sweet Maple on the 14th?

I'm thinking 9 or 10.

Which works best?

[Double 8]

I'm thinking 10 would be best.

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

SMC on a sunday at 10 is gonna be packed, just so you know

[Carlos Enriquez]

Okay, so 9 maybe? You're the expert here, Mitch.

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

10 is fine, just know that no matter what time we go sundays are usually pretty busy there.  

[Carlos Enriquez]

Okey doke!

[Blaine]

Bah, it's taken me forever to reply to this (curse being busy!), but I'm totally down. I've never been to this place either, so that should be awesome.

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

You're in for a treat, SMC is fantastic 

[Carlos Enriquez]

10 am this Sunday, The Sweet Maple Cafe.

[Mark McGuire]

I should be there if I don't have an RPG session on Sunday.  Looking forward to it.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Sweet!

[Neutral Blue]

Alright, hey, everypony.

Sorry I've been so incommunicado since Ravinia, without new episodes I'm slipping into hibernation over here.

I'm going to try to make it to this one, and hopefully meet some of these new faces who've been coming around.

With luck, see you all there.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Sweet! I hope we have a fairly big turnout!

[Double 8]

Good News Everpony!

Our Meetup today was successful! We had 9 ponies show up today and we all had an awesome time at the Sweet Maple Cafe. We saw some old faces and a lot of new, but ultimately, what we took away from this is the want, the need to make Sunday breakfast meetups our monthly thing.

Personally, I am totally up for it because it fits with my schedule at the moment, but most of the bronies who showed up today enjoyed hanging out so much that they demanded more meetups like this.

Breakfast + Ponies = Good.

[Double 8]

Okay, let's start looking at next month's breakfast meetup! I think we have a pretty awesome place lined up for November's breakfast (Anne Sather on Belmont), but the real question is what day would work best for everypony?

[caitlin grandfield]

sunday always works for me.

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

I like sunday's as well, although I hope it's somewhere I can watch the Bears game depending on when we meet 

[Carlos Enriquez]

Well, it's a breakfast meetup, so 9 or 10.

[RaccoonRat]

I am miraculously off this Sunday (the third)!  So I would totally be down for that day.

[RaccoonRat]

Chris said he would be down for this Sunday too.  Oh, and I mean Sunday the 4th.

[Carlos Enriquez]

It might be a little soon for this Sunday. What's the rest of your month look like.

[RaccoonRat]

Probably work work work.  This Sunday would probably be the only time.  Plus Chris said he would be down.  How about everypony else??

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

I could do this sunday, I have a ton of HW I need to do but I got all weekend 

[Mark McGuire]

I think I can do this Sunday as well.

[Mark McGuire]

Also realize that the Museum of Science and Industry meetup is that day.  https://www.facebook.com/events/429003463826420/433341236725976/

If we were going to do a breakfast meet-up I'd like to do it earlier so I can get to the field museum.  Is anyone else interested in doing both meet-ups?

[RaccoonRat]

In the words of Twilight, Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes!!!!

[Carlos Enriquez]

I can't do this Sunday, guys. You're going to have to go without me.

[RaccoonRat]

Nooo!!  Who is gonna navigate us through the city??  You can't try and get someone to work for you?

Going to breakfast and then going to the museum meetup sounds like great plan.  So far I have me, Mark, Mitch, Chris, and Caleb want to go.

Maybe we can just go to the Museum meetup and get something to eat near there??

[Mark McGuire]

Let's try to meet up somewhere beforehand, if not at a breakfast specific place, somewhere to get an early meal.  Questions are:
Where abouts do we want to meet up? (Union, near the Museum, etc)
When do we want to meet up? (8, 9, 10 which is pushing it)

[RaccoonRat]

since parking is a lot downtown, I think it might be preferable to get something to eat in or around the museum.  I know I am driving with Chris and Caleb to the museum and we will only get there at 11 since one of them is driving from Wisconsin.  I'm pretty sure there is a cafe or food court in the museum.  But you all can do what you want beforehand.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Hold on fellas, is the meetup at the field museum or the museum of science and industry? Both are very different.

[RaccoonRat]

Museum of Science and Industry at 11 am.

[Carlos Enriquez]

I can't go.

[RaccoonRat]

We are probably gonna go ahead with the museum this Sunday.  Then we can do Ann Sathers next weekend or a Sunday when everypony is free.

[Carlos Enriquez]

Sounds good. Have fun guys!

[Double 8]

Okay, so the Anne Sather meetup needs to happen. What weekend works best, 10th or the 17th?

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

Well if we're doing it on a saturday the 17th would be much better for me because I got some stupid field trip I need to go on.  Who would have thought I'd be going on field trips in college... especially on a satruday 

[Carlos Enriquez]

Sorry, not the 10th and 17th, I meant the 11 and the 18th. Those are Sundays.

[Caitlin]

The 11th works for me.

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

in that case the 11th works for me as well

[Louis Jenkins]

My vote is for Sweet Maple, and what do you think about Sunday the 11th to make it a Season 3 celebration/discussion?

Sorry Louis, that was for the last meetup. We're heading towards Anne Sather this time around.

[Double 8]

Good News Everypony!

I've already made reservations at Anne Sather's for this Sunday. Also, the meetup will be at 10:30 to give any stragglers some time to get there. See you all this Sunday!

[Genesis Amora]

lol watching food network, Ann Sathers was on there lol

[Carlos Enriquez]

[Genesis Amora]

[Carlos Enriquez]

[Genesis Amora]

I think I can go.  Is there parking around there because I have to drive because I have work later at 1:30 so I would have to leave by 11:30-11:45.

[mitchva...@yahoo.com]

just to clarify ann sather's is on Belmont right?  

[Carlos Enriquez]

Eeyup.
