I will make a reservation in the name of Cecil Adams. (assuming they take reservations) If you wanna go, let me know so I can get a head count. C’ mon, just do it. ---

Let’s work on the one dopefest, first. How about 1:00 on Saturday, August 3? Same place. ---

If we’re voting, I can’t make the 3rd. We are having our block party up here in god’s country that Saturday and I have Official Block Party Duties. …Hey! You guys should come! ---

Okay, somebody wake me up when something is decided and I’ll thumbs up or down. I can’t believe this thread has been going on since February. ---

I can make the 3rd, barring the unforeseen (which tends to happen to me 9 times out of 10.) However, since there will always be some who can and some who can’t make any date, I think: just pick one and go with it. ---

> [@Tim\_R.Mortiss](#): > > There’s a fun place called [Cheesie’s](http://www.yelp.com/biz/cheesies-pub-and-grub-chicago) at Belmont and Sheffield. It’s basically a pub, where you pay the bartender as you go (no problem with separate checks) and you can order food if you want (great variety of grilled cheese sandwiches and other stuff). It’s very close to the Belmont el stop, and there is paybox parking on the street. > > Just a thought. I am in Chicago twice a year. I dont know anybody since I’ve only been here a few weeks but in the future I think it would be great.
