I’m about quadruple booked the 22nd as is, but don’t be dependent on me either way, I’ll make what I can. Though if I know where it’s going to be, I may do a pre-emptive seat pee. ---

Can we do some kind of ritual pee? ---

> [@Mr Bus Guy](#): > > I’m about quadruple booked the 22nd as is, but don’t be dependent on me either way, I’ll make what I can. Well, how’s the 29th then? Those are the two weekends I can attend. I’m available any time through either of those weekends (22nd & 23rd, 29th & 30th). If we do it in the evening, I’d like it to be near the Blue Line, walking distance to the train. Other times, I’m more flexible about routes. I’m okay with the Red Line as well, but have a vast preference for the Blue Line and do not know the city well. If you leave it up to me, well, I’ve organized a couple Chicago 'Fests in the past, and one of them accidentally sent **Boyo Jim** back to Madison after midnight. 😉 ---

The question for me is now whether to spend $200 on a weekend’s travel. I’ll get back to you all on that. ---

Sounds good, **Scuba\_Ben**. Is that for a particular weekend? Is anyone else interested? That might influence **Scuba\_Ben’s** decision. I think right now we have him, **Boyo Jim** and me. Those two are alright (having met them both already), but I don’t know that either of them is willing to travel just for my lovely company again (plus some dude the other guy hasn’t met). ---

I would be interested in coming (but am notoriously unreliable). Scuba and I could talk about Mafia all night and bore everyone else to tears! ---

**Blue Kangaroo** , that’s for the weekend of Aug 29. **Thing Fish** , even talking Mafia I’d probably get it wrong. Just look at my play to date in SS Insipid. ---

Okay, so if this is happening, it’s on that weekend. That will also give us all more to plan. Anyone else interested? ---

WTF people… you hold a Chidope and suddenly [Rand Rover](http://boardstest.straightdope.com/sdmb/member.php?u=79868)stops posting? 😕 There isn’t something you’d like to get off your chest, is there? :dubious: ---

There’s a forum rule against ratting fellow Dopers out for giving another member concrete shoes and chuckin’ him in the river? Good to know! 😃 ---

The first rule of concrete overshoes is that you don’t talk about concrete overshoes. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/chidope-2009/504271.md?page=3)
