> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > What? 🙂 I just wanted to say that I’m reading the thread and may attend, depending. I hope MeanOldLady comes since she just moved to the area, that would be cool. I just find it amusing on several levels. Don’t feel like explaining it at the moment. Anyhow, I tend to work on weekends, so there’s a good chance I won’t be able to attend, anyway, but it would be fun to have a good mix of people there. ---

Before this falls off the page, _bump_ I probably can’t make it, but there are many fine ChiDopers and Distance Dopers who should. I’ll have a kraut dog in your honor. And if you feed him and spike him a beer, maybe **Little Ed** will show up. ---

If we do this and I’m available, I’d be happy to bring along some homemade sausages (but they wouldn’t be hot dogs), as well as bottle of Malort for those curious. ---

The 26th is a Tuesday. I’m assuming that’s gonna mess up alot of people, so… Who **CAN** make it on Tuesday the 26th? **zoid** - can do **dropzone** - ? **banjoDavid** - ? **thirdwarning** - ? **Finally** - ? **pulykamell** - ? **SeaDragonTattoo** - ? **I\_Know\_Nothing** - ? **Rand Rover** - ? **Man With a Cat** - ? **MeanOldLady** - ? **typoink** - ? **C K Dexter Haven** - ? **needscoffee** - ?

I’m looking foreword to it. Oh, by the way - right now I’m thinking about a daylight affair. I was thinking that depending upon the location I’ll set up about 10:00 AM, get the grills going about 11:00, we’d eat and drink till, well God knows when. Show up whenever you like but I’ll have to split no later than say 9:00 or 10:00 that evening. I’m open to suggestions if that doesn’t work. ---

Tues 26th works for me. I will contact **Ed Zotti** and see if he’d like to join us. I’m also putting a link in the Chicago-forum… ---

The 26th works for me. Do you have a location in mind? Close to an El stop would be nice. I’d plan on dropping by after work for a little bit. ---

Tuesday the 26th just happens to be…MY BIRTHDAY. I was trying to think of a reason to take the day off. I just may have one. 🙂 ---

That certainly does tip the scales, but… > [@zoid](#): > > The 26th is a Tuesday. > I’m assuming that’s gonna mess up alot of people, so… Tuesday is kind of not ideal. I mean I can go by after work, which runs until roughly 5. Depending on where it is, I can see myself being there between 5:15 and 6:00pm. If people are doing stuff at 11:00am, then no can do, boss. ---

I’m interested but… Really? A weekday afternoon? If it runs into the evening I could perhaps make it. Where are we talking about, anyway? I really enjoy Malort, too. I’ve found it at a surprising number of bars. Just last week, I had a shot at a very northside bar (north of Touhy). ---
