Chicago DUers - Don't forget the gathering on the 20th!!!

[Susang]

Just a reminder thread, since the other one has gotten old and a little big and unwieldy. Please feel free to post here again and let us know if you can make it.

We're going to be at Celtic Crossings at 751 North Clark in Chicago (1 block east of LaSalle, just a couple storefronts south of W.Chicago Ave), starting at around 2:00PM. They actually open at two, so if you get there earlier than that, just walk around for awhile, there's plenty to see!

Also, Celtic Crossings is a pub, there's no food served, so make sure you have a nice lunch beforehand. There are plenty of places to get a bite to eat around there, so there's no worry on that score! ;-)

So...who's with us?

[XNASA]

1. Look for me.

[Susang]

14. Oh, I'll be looking for you alright

Somebody's got to warn the bartender. :evilgrin:

[XNASA]

40. Yes. He'll be plenty shocked when I order a.....

Ginger Ale. And so will the rest of you.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

2. I'll be there and I'm bringing my digital camera...

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. You're either with us.....

...or against us (where HAVE I heard that before?????)

I am so filled with :loveya: at the thought of seeing the usual suspects again (as well as the new people who have posted that they intend to join us).

I was planning on starting a new thread...just hadn't gotten around to it yet. Thanks!

:hi: :toast:

[Susang]

4. I'm bored at work

I have things I could be doing, but it's hard to get motivated these days. So here I am. :D

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. It's hard to get motivated here, as well.

Frustrating to bug people for information on something they want written....and when they FINALLY provide you with the input it is at the last damn minute! And then they don't even give you all the damn information you need!!!!!

I wanna be at Celtic Crossings RIGHT NOW!!! With a pint of Guinness in front of me...and the prospect of more to come.

[ProfessorGAC]

6. Hey, I'm Working On A Twofer

I have a chance to be with Chi DU'ers on Sunday, and then maybe meet some Philly DU'ers a couple days later.

Crossing my fingers on that one!
The Professor

[XNASA]

9. Why you turncoat........

Or maybe you're just, you know.....lookin' for some strange.

I hope you're happy when your sittin' there eating a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich and the rest of us are...:cry:

[GOPisEvil]

7. I remember that place!

Dark and smoky? Perfect place for a DU gathering. I wish I could make it.

[Blue-Jay]

11. Mmmmm. Dark and smoky.....

They also have Guinness, Harp, and Boddington on tap.

[johnnie]

8. I'm working on it

It doesn't seem like there is going to be a Cleveland meet up in the near future so I thought Chicago would be cool. I don't know for sure if I can swing it, but I'm looking into it.
I posted in the state forum to get some more ideas and XNASA even sent me some ideas.
Hope I can be there.

[Susang]

10. That would be great

Though I'm surprised that there isn't more interest in a Cleveland DU meeting. I thought there were a lot of you guys over there! :hi:

[Blue-Jay]

12. Ohio DUers are afraid of meeting people.

So I moved.

[johnnie]

15. I was thinking of leaving the country because of that reason

I haven't even heard of an Ohio meet up since I've been here.

[Blue-Jay]

18. Just show up at Beastman's house with a twelve pack.

He'll meet you if you bring beer.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

13. I will be there... and bringing short bus president with me, too!

:hi:

[Blue-Jay]

16. What about antiwarwarrior? Are mods allowed to come?

We need someone to give wedgies to.

Are you coming, butthead?

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. The butthead said he was.....

And he's even legal drinking age now.

[Blue-Jay]

19. Sure....but that was before he was a High Muckymuck.

He probably won't want to hang out with us cretins anymore.

[greatauntoftriplets]

20. Maybe if we buy the High MuckyMuck a drink....

....he'll temporarily lower himself to mingle with the likes of us riffraff....

[terrya]

21. He IS legal now.

Though he still doesn't look like he's 21. :-)

T

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. Maybe he looks older now that he is a moderator....

mohinoaklawnillinois can take photos of him being carded with her new digital camera and post them in the Lounge.

:evilgrin:

[terrya]

23. That's right...pictures will be taken.

Yes...good idea. :evilgrin:

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Too bad that The Magistrate isn't coming....

Unless he is being sly and decides to surprise us.... He has been known to come to these.

We could have a two-moderator get-together.

[ProfessorGAC]

39. Yeah, But We Were Cretins Before He Was So Exalted

So, nothing's really changed.
The Professor

[greatauntoftriplets]

25. Evening kick to page 1 so more people see this.

:bounce:

[Susang]

26. Isn't it funny

A lot more people seemed interested in this about a week and a half ago. ;-)

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Ah...they will again....

Or else we'll kick their arses!!!

iconoclastic_cat and his lovely (expecting mother) wife are planning to join us...discussed on another thread announcing their impending parenthood.

[prolesunited]

28. I'll be there

and maybe Margaret, my co-worker from Poland. She's not sure because of the smoking. She's only recently kicked the habit and is worried about the temptation.

[Susang]

29. Michael quit too

They can both sit in the corner and twitch together. :D

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. And at the moment,....

my DU lurker friend is planning on coming.

[Susang]

32. You always say that!

Will she actually show this time? :D

[greatauntoftriplets]

33. She says she will unless there is heavy snow falling that day.

Let's hope.

[ProfessorGAC]

38. He's Twitching From Quitting Smoking?

How is that twitching any different than what he's always done?
The Professor

[Bat Boy]

43. It's angrier.

And less predictable.

[prolesunited]

44. Perhaps it will evolve

into some sort of bizarre dance.

[greatauntoftriplets]

31. And while I am thinking about it, please check this out.

[Tweed]

34. I'll do my best to be there!

I love Irish pubs, so that's a start!

[ProfessorGAC]

35. There's A Problem With That Statement, Tweed

That means if you're not there, your best is NOT GOOD ENOUGH! So, if you don't show up, we will have to think badly of you!

Really though, hope to see you there.
The Professor

[Tweed]

36. LOL, well I certainly don't want to be thought of badly

School research might need to be done though. Finals are coming up for me already. You should know how those go PROFESSOR.

[ProfessorGAC]

37. Finals, Schminals!

A beer or two can't get in the way of studying, can it?
The Professor

[greatauntoftriplets]

41. A beer or two or three....

should HELP the studying. And a bit of a kick....

[greatauntoftriplets]

42. Saturday afternoon kick....
