OK, let’s say 11:00 am like the other group. We can meet where they are meeting (outside the Field Museum I think.) That way if anyone changes their mind at the last minute, they can join us. The Shedd is right across the street from the Field Museum, so it’s all very convienient. I am soooooooo excited!! ---

My friend and I were planning on going to the Shedd Aquarium after the Field Museum trip, so maybe we will see you there later. BTW, is anybody planning on being at the hotel in the 7:30-8:00 p.m. time frame tonight? That’s about the time I’m getting in, and we were thinking about getting a couple of drinks at the bar there before heading out with whoever will let us hang out with them for the night. ---

While the nudity is preferred, I would like to state that for purposes of Manifest Breastiny, I can slide/slip my hands under anything - the important thing is skin on skin. Thenkew. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ShibbOleth \* > \*\*We might be up for _dim sum_, or some other kind of Sunday brunch, if you know a good place. Maybe even a quick museum sort of thing after. Probably have to play it by ear on the second part, though. \*\* I respectfully request that if we do brunch, we do something other than dim sum… tried it once, they had virtually nothing I could eat – it was all meat-based. And as much as I love y’all, I don’t find sitting and watching other people eat to be much fun. 😛 I can recommend Corash, off the 6-point intersection of Milwaukee, Division, and Ashland, buffet-style. Or the Heartland Cafe, off the Morse stop of the Red Line, for sit-down stuff. ---

Kaio, if you do come to Shui Wah, they do have some yummy veggie items that are not on the “usual” list of stuff you see at these places. Veggie dumplings, taro cakes Mmmm, other good stuff. If you go to [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) you can look up a scanned menu. ---

Well, since I was just browsing this. . . **Kat** , The Wild Goose is a smallish bar, and as you enter, there’s an area to the right of the front door, near the windows, that is lifted up a bit like a stage. (Or, that’s the way it was last year, anyway.) That’s probably where you’d find Jarbaby. Just wander over and say hi. She won’t bite. 🙂 Hope you see this before tomorrow! ---
