jeevwoman and I should be there for the dinner.
Please be gentle with them, guys, at least until you get to know them better. I promised they wouldn’t feel the need to run away screaming, and I like to think I’m a woman of my word.
But don’t worry; they don’t tend to stay out super-late, so there will be plenty of time to talk about them after they leave. 
I have not read ANY of this thread, since the boards have been a bitch lately.
I just wanted folks to know that I WON’T be at Cafe 28, but I WILL be at the Bierstube to welcome you. If people want to eat dinner THERE with me (I prefer German food to Cuban) then stop on by.
Resi’s is at 2129 W. Irving Park and it’s a great, cozy little place, family owned, and you may get handcuffed and whipped while you’re there.
They look forward to seeing us, as I told them I’d be bringing a fun group.
See you then!
You said the same thing to me about jeevwoman. Does that mean I’m going to be taking all these people home to meet my parents?
What, have you converted to Islam behind my back or something? (Now wouldn’t that freak out your parents?)
So I am a woman of my word, am I not? At least you haven’t run away screaming yet (that I know of, anyway).
I’ll be there, maybe. I might be out of town this weekend. But if I do show up, it is going to be late.
Does anyone know what the policies are at the various places as regards cigars??
Can’t speak for Resi’s, but I think they’re okay with 'em at Black Rock.
Cigars and Cigarettes are welcome at Resi’s!
100 different imported beers at any given time!
And NOW: Resi’s Famous Potato Pancakes served 7 days a week!
Hey! Leave me out of this!
Is this Spam?
Spam? Hell no!
It’s delicious home made rahm schnitzel: a delicious breaded pork tenderloin with mushroom gravy and egg noodles, served with your choice of soup or salad.
Enjoy it with a Liter of Spaten Lager! You won’t be sorry.
This is so I can shovel in the grub, no? Ha ha! I crack me up. Spaten - shovel, get it? Never mind.
That sounds pretty tasty. If I don’t pala in too much Cuban food, I could be easily tempted with a breaded pork tenderloin. And mushroom gravy. And egg noodles. Yum.
You think they would mind if I got the rahmschnitzel and brought over some of the spaetzele from Laschets across the street? It is soooooo much better than the egg noodles!
All right, crackheads. Last chance to get on the trolley!
CRAP
I’m sick…I think I have coughed up an actual piece of lung.
I am going to spend all day on Friday under the influence of Nyquil to prepare for Saturday.
Pray for me, you crackheads.
MISSCREANT. You WILL be going on Saturday. Get yourself some Zicam and sleep and get better, dammit.
Jumping off the trolley. Car problems.
Miss Creant, preserve your bit of lung and bring it with you on Saturday. You better feel better by then.
Not that anyone cares, but Cafe 28 was on Check Please! tonight. Everyone liked it. Was there a time set for going to Resi’s?
Not a set time so much – we’ll be there after we’re done eating, maybe 8, 8:30 – but jarbaby will be there from 7 on, I think, so you can pop over there any time and bask in her glory.
