Gentlemen, we're holding the meet at a bar in the burbs not Steamworks.

That is unless you want to propose a change of venue...

YES. Action, I like it.

Unless something completely wild comes up (sudden business trip et al) I will be there. This is a good compromise for everyone so don't bitch about having to drive :D

But that's an eight hour drive :(
Then take a plane!

On a more serious note, I think what he was referring to was in the last Chicago ATOT meet thread, there was debate for 2 months about where to go. This time, I just picked the place that has the most beers on tap.

EDIT: Wow, My reply speed was slow ....

Does it have more beers than the Map Room or Sheffield's? I haven't been to the Map Room yet...but I've heard plenty about it....

ha..I have to walk by it everyday on my way to the train


sweet, can we go by Roscoe's afterwards? BTW, when I first moved here, I lived in the ****** apartment above Buck's tavern 1.5 blocks north. I was sad to see the classless "Manhole" get replaced by "Hydrate." Boo for diluting the gayness of Halsted.

lol...I've likely seen you on the street and not even kown it. We should actually walk out our front doors and say hello sometime. :D

If you want a ride, it's no problem as I'll be going up anyway.

If you really want, though I think a trip by Cell Block would be more educational.:Q

I feel for you...I got sick of the near-constant police/ambulance/fire sirens, general "boystown in summer" street noise, and the roaming bachelorette parties. things are much more chill on broadway...relatively speaking.

So do you think we should try to get a headcount so we can let this place know we're coming? I doubt they'd appreciate like 20+ people just walking in :p
