Hello Chicago! Are we still on for tomorrow night?→[More:]My plan for tomorrow is to work in the morning and use the afternoon to poke around the city. I'll be online intermittently, but if someone can tell me where to be at 7:00, that would be most excellent. Also, if someone would be willing to be my point person in case I take a wrong turn somewhere and end up in Freeport, I'd be incredibly grateful.

Thanks, guys - can't wait to see ya's!

Who wouldn't want to meet the Frisbee Girl?

I'm in, although possibly a little later than 7.

I think the plan was Billy Goat Tavern, although I'm all ears for an alternative.

Happy to be on point, if need be.

i'll come to chicago for a meetup sometime! this weekend is out, tho'.
:-(

Aw, thanks matildaben!

It seemed that it was between the Billy Goat and Berghoff. The Billy Goat sounds perfect to me.

Me3dia, 7:00 is more a frame of reference than a fixed point. It'll be nice to hang out regardless of what time you get there.

I'm in! : ) Is there anyway we can start a bit earlier than 7 though? Anyone who was at the last meetup knows my parking issue. : )

My friend Barb may join us too!

Didn't I just read somewhere that the Berghoff closed?

Also, TAKE PICTURES!!

Not yet. It will be closing as of February 28. : (

fris, i added to that thread for you (and all you chi chis and chatters)

amberglow, i think frisbee is metachat's amberglow so far
but maybe i'll get to be the ambulatory glow too this year and drag and drop chatters with me

you know i like to think global so--

Wedge, that seriously bums me out, I really had no idea you were so close and now this? Yar!! =(

But, all y'all, I'm hoping this will become a regular thing, in which case, there will be more than a week's notice in the future.

sisterh, I'd love to hook up earlier with you. Name your time.

me3dia, let's split the diff on mrs. pants' drinks, shall we? mrs. pants, is that enough to tilt the balance in our favor?

Lastly, eth, no one compares to amberglow. Let's set that record straight right now, but thanks!

Frisbee Girl - I work until 5:30, so anytime after that. I'm at Tribune Tower, right across the street from Billy Goat, so we can go there, or there's Nordstrom down the block if you want to do a bit of shopping. : ) Email me at the address in my profile here and we can figure something out. : )

hey Fris, i made you a mecha wiki page but you gotta log in to the wiki for people to see it.

posted by mcgraw 05 January | 15:17

crumbs!

i will try to make it tonight at the billy goat!

and i may be wearing my glasses so no punching me in the face.

posted by Mrs.Pants 05 January | 15:20

mrs. pants, please do join us!

mcgraw: sorry, I'm not able to log in to the wiki, but thank you so much!

brief pedantic moment:
once amberglow was known as the most met member of metafilter for his traveling ways and willingness to attend a meet up.

if he had a page i'd probably wiki that.

reminder: somoene bring a camera
