Did you know the Map Room opens at 6:30 AM every weekday?
― Jeff, Tuesday, 15 May 2012 12:14 (twelve years ago) link
Wow, I'm getting annoyed by news headlines this morning. Not even the articles - just the headlines (especially this one - Political Memo: For Some, Same-Sex Marriage Is Not Politics, It’s Personal - NO SHIT). I think I should call out of work and go to the Map Room.

Also this one, which is blessedly behind the Sun Times's new paywall - "The real black marriage problem."
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 12:34 (twelve years ago) link
Black marriage should be legal IMO.

I had to go on FB to confirm that it was really your birthday bc I couldn't remember and I feared Carl was laying a trap.

Happy birthday n/a! Hope you get to do something fun.
Ear infections are awful carl, hang in there.

Oh hey Nick, I had a dream about you last night. You had somehow experienced The Afterlife (without dying) but were annoyed that it was basically just like Life On Earth. Happy birthday.

I knew that they were a coffee bar in the A.M., but do they serve beer, too? I don't know if y'all have been to K's Dugout (at Foster and ... Winchester, maybe?), but they used to open around that time as well since they catered to a lot of third-shift workers who wanted a drink when they got off work.
― Carrie Antwoord (jaymc), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:28 (twelve years ago) link
Why does K's Dugout sound so familiar?? Did we go there for your b-day drinks one time, John?
Rossi's on State St. opens at 7:00, or did years ago when I went there at 8:00 a.m. to pick up a jacket I left there the night before. There were 2 or 3 crusty looking men in there drinking beer at that time.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:30 (twelve years ago) link
Quite possibly, Jesse. I haven't been there in years, but I drank there occasionally when I lived in the area. Kr still gives me shit b/c one time when we were there, I cavalierly told a middle-aged working-class dude that he should take a job he'd been offered on an oil rig in the Persian Gulf. I was all "You'll regret it if you don't!" -- which is the kind of thing 20-something college grads use as justifications for their decisions, but I obv. didn't know shit about his life.

We had someone's birthday afterparty there years ago, maybe that's it? K_lsey was there.
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Tuesday, 15 May 2012 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
If the circumstances were right I think I could drink beer @ 6:30 am.

K's Dugout was a New Years Eve site in '05, if you were there then with me and Jaymc, Je55e.

JVC, I was trying to make a joke. It was a dumb joke. I hope you didn't think I was being rude to you.
I like the idea of the mayor riding his bike around behind John's apartment, pausing to stare up at his kitchen windows.

WORST Jimmy John's experience ever (still better than most Subway visits):
- They no longer serve alfalfa sprouts - HALF THE POINT OF JIMMY JOHN'S IMO is ALFALFA SPROUTS!!- The cashier was uncharacteristically sullen. When I changed my mind and decided to add a cookie, she jabbed the register and muttered the new total- The roast beef on my sandwich was simply horrible :( It was riddled with unchewable fat and connective tissue and dripping w/ mayo
Also, it took an unusually long time to get my order. Can't complain b/c it was still only like 3 or 4 minutes, but normally it's done before I've even put my wallet back in my pocket.
