last minute gathering?

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Jacqueline -- IF Elder, of IFmud #jacqchat fame and other things -- will be in Chicago tomorrow (Thursday) night. 

 Anyone want to get together and chat IF, etc.?  Last minute?

[David Cornelson]

I'm in! (;

where are we thinking?

[David Cornelson]

The only thing I would ask is that the menu accommodate my non-foodie status.

Location is open, but as Ben said on FB, there are plenty of nice neighborhood joints.

[Andrew Schultz]

Well, this is tricky. I put that night aside for last minute stuff on my IFComp entry. On which I'm behind. So I am leaning towards no, which is kind of too bad.

Keep me posted as to when and where, I will be at the hospital during the day but depending on how exhausting that whole thing is I might be up for meeting up in eve.

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Here's a tentative plan:

• Jacq exits O'Hare airport around 3:40pm, taking the blue-line L train downtown.  Tours Millennium Park and Art Institute.to the Wicker Park neighborhood.
• Jacq takes blue-line L back towards airport, exits in the Wicker Park hood ('Damen' stop).
• We meet for dinner.  Options:  Lily's Q (bbq), or Piece (pizza + homemade beer).
• Jacq drives back to burbs with David, sleeps on his couch.  :-)

Jacq, does this conform to expectations?

Would be super lovely to meet up. Ben, why don't you pick the place? Probably something with general food (to accommodate the non-foodies, per Dave) and perhaps a place with good craft beer (if that's a thing) but a place quiet enough that we can actually hear one another (doesn't have to be 'quiet' but not noisy...).

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Obvious typo in my first bullet -- remove the trailing "to the wicker park neighborhood".  :-)

[david.c...@gmail.com]

I'm doubtful she'll have time to go to the Art Institute as it closes at 5pm.

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Ah well, Millennium Park is still a really neat and fun touristy thing to do -- very outdoorsy.

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Aha -- it's actually open till 8pm on Thursdays.

[Jacqueline Ashwell]

Thanks, folks! Looking forward to meeting some of you. Ben and I are conspiring on what sort of place, so I'm sure he'll post where soon. :)

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Hey folks -- we're going to meet at Piece Pizza (1927 W. North Ave) at 7:30pm tonight.  Pretty close to Filter cafe.

Please reply and let me know if you're coming, so we can try and get a big-enough table.

[Ed Blair]

That should work for me. Excited!

[Jacqueline Ashwell]

I plan to come.  

Signed,

The Instigator 

[Andrew Schultz]

I'd like to show up. I might need to leave early, but I'd like to say hi
in person. It's been a while.

[Ed Blair]

I may also have to peace out early-ish as well, as I've got some zine
editing/laundry to do- but I will definitely hang out for a bit.

Ed.

[Jeremy Freese]

Hi, all.  Sorry for the late reply, but I plan on coming.  Be good to see folks again.

--Jeremy

[Ben Collins-Sussman]

Current tally is me, Jacq, David, Ed, Andrew, Jeremy.  So I'll try to get a table for 6.

[Andrew Schultz]

Awesome. I'm leaving now, with a chore to do, so I should actually be on time, barring very slow public transport.

[Jeremy Freese]

Yo, is anyone still there. I think I left behind my iPad in my bag.

[Main]

You did! What should we do?

[Jeremy Freese]

I have to go back downtown tomorrow for work. Can I pick it up from someone?

[Main]

We have yr bag. It's safe. 

[Main]

Ben works downtown as well, we will give it to him. He will keep it secret, keep it safe. 

[Jeremy Freese]

OK.  It's filled with top sociology secrets.  --Jeremy

[Jeremy Freese]

Ben -- Do you have my bag?  I am downtown today for an all-day meeting but can duck out to go wherever whenever to retrieve it.  Apologies for the hassle.
