Is this the sort of thing that children would be welcome to? If not, that’s fine, I just would like to know for planning purposes. The discussion of holding the gathering at a microbrewery made me think perhaps not. 
Excuse me–Sox park? Really,** MBG**… no thanks! <gets all huffy>
I didn’t realize this for NEXT year (I was PM’ed about it and didn’t read it closely). I have no idea if I’m free next year–but I’m more free than I am this May. I’d be happy to take part, even though I’m not even a Charter Member.

I really, really hope I’m back in Chicago for this! :: sacrifices goat to FSM for luck ::
I’m in.
For those not sure about next year, there’s been some talk about one this month, may 31. No location settled on yet. Which reminds me…
Hard to say for certain a year in advance, but I’m up for it.
Sounds good.
