Cervaise and I are coming to Chicago!

I’m there! Pegasus had good appetizers IIRC, It’s all good to me though.
[sub]piney can still smack me, I’m sure I’m long overdue for at least one[/sub]

Jar, you are seriously working at Resi’s on Wed? what time? I shall have to come in and order a beer from you in German :slight_smile:

Pegasus Thursday?
What time?
It’d be my first time meeting other dopers, but if I can make it do you mind if I tag along (I still have to make sure I can get free though)?

Pegasus on Thursday sounds great.

zoid, please do try to come, it would be great to meet you!

So, what time, and should we make reservations?

Hell, from what I read he owes you at least six!

Bump.

So are we still on? I’ve been thinking of Tzatziki, Skorthalia, Taramosalata, Kalamata olives with feta and a drizzle of olive oil, some souvlakia, some charcoal oven grilled lambchops, and maybe an order of spanakoryzo for a few days now!

Not to mention Aegean beer, sangria, ouzo, maybe some retsina for those of you into that.
Sounds good, right?

We’re looking forward to it!

Question: What time?

(We’re not certain about getting 'net access while we’re traveling, but we will endeavor to check this thread if we have to find a Kinko’s to do it.)

(A whole week without the Dope! What ever will we do?)

Well, I think it’s pretty much up to the guests of honor, no? Although I don’t know when everyone will get out of work. Depending on how insane this week is, some of you may be in for a round of cocktails while the rest of us extricate ourselves from our offices. I try to leave the ofifce by 6 pm, and it usually works.

OK- we’ll be there at 6.

When can we expect the rest of you?

I will try and get there shortly after 6 as well. Should we ask for the Cecil Adams party, or just look for the loudest people on the roof? Of course, if Eva Luna, Gundy, or any of the other regular ChiDopers finds you before I do, I’ll find you no problem.

[sub]Migraines have been kicking my butt again, but I’m hoping Thursday will be a good day for me and I won’t have to beg out at the last minute.[/sub]

I get off work at the Merchandise Mart at 5, I should be there by 5:30 or so, maybe I will stay a few minutes later and make the boss happy.

Bump, for any strays. I should be there, barring any complications.

Sigh, sending my regrets that I can’t attend. I hope everyone has a lovely time though.

Sorry guys.
Afternoons are better for me than evenings. That particular evening I’ll be packing up to hit the road the following 5 a.m.
Catch you next time thru!
Be sure to enjoy the dead salmon floating in the lake. My faves are when the gulls perch on them and start pecking off chunks before the fish are quite dead yet. Yum!

::bump:: I may even show up. :smiley:

OK, has anyone actually met the guests of honor in person, so as to know what they look like? Or if I’m the first one besides them to arrive, am I just going to have to look around for the people who look mildly lost?

Someone should wear a t-shirt. Available for purchase here. And it’s fine quality too.

We have managed to secure internet access from our hotel room, though I assume the hotel is gouging us on it, so I shan’t be lengthy.

I am slightly below average in height, with dark hair that would be curly if it weren’t short (like that helps), goatee, and glasses. I’ll use “Cecil Adams party” at the front desk.

See y’all tomorrow! Well, except for Dinsdale, who is skipping out on the owed libation. :mad: :wink: We’ll connect another time.

Well, the rest of y’all know what I look like, but I’m 5’1, dark unruly hair, and wearing a white blouse and longish gray skirt.

It’s going to be that kind of day. Anyone mind if I start drinking early?

I should be there around 5:30 or so, I’m wearing black pants and a blue shirt, 6’2" blond, glasses, short beard.

Drink early? But of course! I won’t be staying overly long as my daughter gets back from summer camp tonight and I want to see her. no closing the place for me tonight :slight_smile:

I’m wearing a black sleeveless top and a knee-length green paisley skirt. 5’6", brown skin, hair, & eyes. Should be there around 5:30, 5:45. I’ll have to bag out early too, though, since I won’t have a sitter after 8 p.m.
