Yes, ChiDopers, next weekend I’m coming once again to the Home of the Fight Against Ignorance. (Annual Party conference, doncha know.) I’ll probably be busy Thursday and Friday nights, but I was thinking I’d be fine with sneaking off after the final meeting Saturday if yinz wanted to make a quick Dopefest for an out-of towner. I’ll be staying at the TraveLodge near State & Wabash - I think that’s the intersection, it’s near the Library stop on the Loop - and I should be freed up Saturday by 10 at the latest.

Whaddaya say?

Yeah, this apparently explains why there’s such a high number of views. Maybe I’ll get this changed so’s the Chi Dopers will actually take a look at it.

Unless they already have and they don’t wanna party.

That would suck.
