So, what’s happening during the Chicago stop on this grand tour? And when? And where? ---

The plan as _I_ have put it together is to go eat at the restaurant I work at (Babaluci on Damen and Shakespeare), then perhaps just sit around for a bit at my place (I have a wet bar and a dawg, what else do you need?). There’s also a very nice, relaxed little bar down the street from me called the Charleston. Whatever the consensus is of those present, with the guest of honour getting precedence. 🙂 So far I have **MikeG and tiggerel** saying they’re coming by. Will welcome any others. Email me for details as far as my addy and phone #s. Nym - who really should be cleaning house rightthisverysecond! ---

I’m in Manassas. However, Falcon and I were talking about getting together the 28th for dinner, but I’m flexible. Any way you want to work it out is OK with me 🙂 Robin ---

I left Minnesota at about 9 this morning and got to Chicago at 3. Of course, it took another forty-five minutes to get to **Nymysys** ’ house. **Tiggeril** , **porcupine** , **MikeG** and I met, and we chatted for a while before heading to Baba Luci’s for dinner. And it was an awesome dinner. It’s really good. We’re now at Nym’s apartment, chatting. See y’all tomorrow in Pittsburgh Robin ---

Any way you want to work it out is OK with me 🙂** Due to budget concerns (I’m still unemployed), **Anniz** and I can’t commit to anything now. Make plans with **Falcon** and keep us posted, we might show up. If not, we’ll see you Friday at the DC Lunch Bunch. 🙂 ---

Well, **Robyn** asked where there was a place to get good crabcakes, so I _think_ we’re gonna be heading to Annapolis. Robyn, I sent my phone # over in IRC so you can call when you get in. I can give you directions then. 🙂 ---

**Falcon** , I got your phone number and will call tomorrow, when I get in. I am finally in Pittsburgh, sitting at Le Sang’s desk after an interesting trip in which I apparently covered most of Western PA and half of Canada (I think, although it could’ve been West Virginia. It was dark.) Medea’s Child was nice enough to get better directions and bring me to Le Sang’s room and introduce us. (Thanks 🙂 ) So, tomorrow, I’m off to Hershey, Philly, and DC. I will post from there 🙂 Robin ---

I officially hate Pittsburgh. I got lost again, this time, covering downtown and Etna. I also got a parking ticket. I think, next time, I’m going to skip Pittsburgh. On the plus side, I did get to stop in Hershey, at the biggest monument to corporate whoredom in North America. I took the little ride and got some chocolate. I also got to visit my old apartment house. So, tonight, I made it as far as Philadelphia. I had to make a stop here, and they were closed, so I’m gonna try it again in the morning. I will be in DC tomorrow, after lunch sometime. Robin ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by MsRobyn \* > **I officially hate Pittsburgh. I got lost again, this time, covering downtown and Etna. I also got a parking ticket. I think, next time, I’m going to skip Pittsburgh.** Hey, I got lost in Pittsburgh too. A few times actually. Parking _does_ suck, but really, the city itself is pretty cool. OK, so I’m partial to **Le Sang** and **Medea’s Child** (ain’t she sweet?) ---

Robyn - what, no post from DC yet? Did Falc get you too drunk to post last night, and you’re too hungover this morning? See you tomorrow for lunch! ---

Oh shut up, pun. Robyn and I are doing dinner tonight, actually, since she got into DC last night. 🙂 ---

So I take it Sarah’s not gonna be in the Tiewater area today? That’s good. I was supposed to be meeting her for lunch but I’ve been ordered to Newport News and won’t be able to get away. I sent her an e-mail, but no response. ---

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I feel like an A-1 heel. I pray she got my e-mail. I’m such a dillweed. ---

I sent her an e-mail, but no response. \*\* Uh, Chief, who’s Sarah? 😕 Don’t worry about it. True to form, I got lost. I don’t understand how because I lived in Norfolk for a few years and the landscape hasn’t changed that much. [sub]Anyone got a line on a good GPS system?[/sub] At any rate, I had some other stuff to do in Norfolk, plus I got to meet **Silo** , so it’s all good. Sorry I missed you, **Falcon**. I must have just missed you. (I actually found the place OK [insert Hallelujah! smiley here].) Yes, **iampunha** and I will be at the Lunch Bunch this afternoon. To ensure our presence, my car will be parked and we are taking the Metro. Otherwise, I fear we will end up in Canada somewhere. I exaggerate, but not by much. And, as of last night, I’ve driven over 2,000 miles.
