I can’t commit to a baseball game, but will try and meet up with y’all for drinks and fatty fried foods, like jarbaby suggested.
I see how you Chicago people are going to be, now. You could just tell me you don’t want me around, as opposed to planning stuff in the middle of the week so I can’t go.
Hrmph.
Why don’t we all just go to Leona’s or Brother Jimmy’s or something instead of the game and then those that HAVE game tickets like Gundy can meet us there afterwards.
It’s a weeknight so I doubt if I’ll break out the heroin and everclear, but you never really know with me.
DynoSaur…I’m still trying to recover from your insuation that I am in fact, Skip Bayless, but you’re welcome to dine with me…at my right hand 
jarbaby
One week and counting. WOOO-HOOOO!!!
I’m so excited.
So, what’s the latest on the plans? Meeting for drinks/fried food sounds great; I don’t know how easy it would be to chat at a ballgame anyway.
Would one of you chat hoes flag me down a day or two before whatever is happening happens and I’ll plan around it?
To add one more hijack to this thread…
Like the good little son I am, I’m heading up Chicago way this weekend to attend Mother’s Day festivities.
However, I’m showing up Friday. My family is otherwise occupied that evening, so I’m looking for something to do.
So, anybody up for something this Friday?
[/hijack]
Well, I can go out Doping Friday night. Mr. Jarbaby has a show and I’ll just sit at home otherwise.
Is there a cubs game on? We can go somewhere and watch it and drink beer and be rowdy if you’d like.
Gundy, I tried to send you an email and it came back to me…hmph.
jarbaby
Well, we wouldn’t want you to sit around your house all alone listening to the Sluts upstairs rearranging the furniture, jarbaby!
Hmm…we could meet at your place and listen in:D
I’m free for whatever tomorrow night. Just say the word.
The word is:
Cockroach Races.
be there or be square.

Cubs game Friday evening at 7:10, against St. Louis.
Name a bar and a time, and I’ll do my best to get there

Anything?
Here’s what I say.
Wednesday night, May 16th…ChiDopers meet at the Goose Island Brewery at Addison and Clark at 6:30 to get a table eat, and watch the game
Parking will be unheard of, so I suggest coming up to my house if you’d like (at Montrose and Wolcott) and parking cars. Then we can train it down to the restaurant.
Locals can fend for themselves.
email me with thoughts…for it is getting down to the wire.
jarbaby
Sounds good to me, but can’t you park in the Sam’s Liquor parking lot ?
I’ll call to find out.
D’oh!!!
Clark and Addison!!! Jeez, am I braindead or what today?
Yeah, I’ll swing by your place too and walk to the el…its a bit of a walk though unless you are thinking of taking the Ravenswood to Belmont and transferring N to Addison.
You could park in the lot.But you’ll pay some crazy ammount for it.I’d suggest parking about a mile away and bussing or cabbing it.
parking averages 8-12 bucks around there. If I am ferrying people and we all pitch in, it would be reasonable…email me. I can fit 3-4 people in my car.
Sorry…
My schedule this week, due to management letting 2 day and one evening supervisor go on vacation at the same time, is all screwed up.
I’m booked through Friday but I’ll be at the next one I promise…I just need as much advance warning as possible to cover my hours in hell,oops at work.
“I need 5 cc epinepherine stat”
“Hand me the paddles.”
“CLEAR!!”
<beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep>
“CLEAR!!”
<beeeeeeeeeeeeep beep… beep… beep…>
“He’s back. Good work guys.”
Yep, the Spritle portion of this thread has officially been resurrected.
OK. It’s Monday. I fly out tomorrow. If it’s not an impostition, could SOMEBODY PLEASE tell me what’s going on Wednesday night?
Also, My Brother-in-law goes to Chicago every now and then and told me that there is some kind of bidding war with cabs. He suggested that I call a limo service and for roughly the same price as a cab ride I can get a limo to the hotel.
Is he full of doo-doo? What’s the scam here? Should I just get a taxi or is he on track? Along those lines, he uses “My Chauffeur”. Can I get a phone number for them? Thanks!
hello, i can make it the night of the 16th and would love to go to a cubs game. And since i have been unable to make it to previous Dopefests, would dearly love to go.
