Dyno, I can handle not smoking. We have to stop for gas/pee breaks sometime, don’t we? 
It’s not a neccessity for me to go, but if you’re up for it, I would certainly have fun. Chip in for gas and all. Would we have a place to crash, or what’s the deal? Will we get to spread dirty motel rumours about us?
You know I would love to show up wearing nothing but a big red Christmas bow, but it’s been 3 years since I last got my ass kicked and I’m trying to keep the streak alive.
Shit, I better not show up, then.
Of course I’m always willing for a little post-DopeFest modeling. . . 
Well, my car can -probably- get from Chicago to St. Louis on one tank of gas, and -I- wouldn’t need a pee break
I’m up for it, provided I can find a way to break the Springfield-to-Chicago-to-St. Louis leg of the journey up a bit. 10 hours of driving pre-fest on Saturday would not put Dyno in a party mood, y’know?
Anyway, we can discuss further later in chat, or email me. That goes for any other Chicago types undecided upon attendance, as well…if enough of you gang up on me, I may feel guilty if I don’t help y’all out
At the very least, if one of you Chicago types decides to drive, I can probably fit a small group of you on the floor of my living room to help make your journey easier.
Dyno, I’m more than willing to let you crash on my couch (read that as “air mattress”) if it will make things easier. Dunno about any other ChiDopers, but things have been way too quiet in my neck of the woods lately. I’m up for it if you are.
Ok people, 7:00 Saturday Jan 13th at Foz and Hounds, directions have already been given.
Now then…
How will we know who each other are? I’m am not about to announce a page “Would Miss B Haven please meet Crunchy Frog at the bar?”
Come on Crunchy, live a little. If you announced a page like that all the women would probably look at you. Anyway, drink one for me.
Alantus
Hey Nym!
We gonna do this or not? Hurry up and let me know so I know whether I have to finish doing my dishes or not
Plus, directions and that sort of thing would be good. Or, I could just wander around Chicago and it’s many suburbs randomly.
I’ve never been to Fox and Hounds but I’m sure we can set up a table with a “reserved for SDMB” sign. What do you think?
What Miss B. Haven said. I think the easiest thing would be to have a table reserved.
However, if anyone’s looking for me, I’ll be there pretty early. Shoulder length red-brown hair, blue suede shirt, light tan pants. I should be there pretty early, seeing as how I live a grand total of 2 miles from the Fox and Hounds.
Not going to be able to make it, gang. I have effectively four pennies to my name. Unless I met a sugar daddy in the next few hours, I wouldn’t be much fun. Regrets to all, and a special smooch for Froggy just cause, and Dyno, who was willing to come pick my sorry ass up.
OK, so, I guess I’ll be there. Nym-less, sorry to say.
I’ll be wearing…how the hell should I know? Whatever I’ve got that’s clean. Jeans and a denim shirt, most likely. Check out the pic on my homepage…I’m apparently fairly easy to recognize from it. (See the one -with- the goatee).
Anyway…see you there. At 7. or so.
… we can all slap nametags on our asses and stand at the bar…
My net access has been pretty sporadic this week…but as I said before I will, in all likelihood, be there sometime in the 8-8:30 time frame.
Appearance/clothing/etc.? That’s for me to know and you to find out.
[sub](Translation: when you see the same moron wander by your table four times, obviously looking lost, that’ll probably be me.)[/sub]
OK, I’m off as of ten minutes from now.
Big geeky guy (since that worked so well at Chidope), blue jeans, light-brown denim shirt, etc, etc.
Look for one of the guys wandering around looking confused.
I’m about to head home, change, grab some drive-through fast food, and hit the road…see you guys in a few hours.
(woo! My 100th post!)
