Chicago MMXII

But if I do it won't be much past 8.

Courtney and I and her brother and sister in law may or may not be going to Paddy Longs. Jeff we need you to be there bc you are the glue that holds us together. I am also hung over so it's fine.

There's a beer event there tonight so it's going to be crazypacked - Paddy Long's may not be the place to go if you're not going there for the beer event.

I was going to say, I'm up just getting a beer somewhere before I have to meet up with my wife for a wine tasting thing, but I'd rather not be in a crazy packed beer event.

Oh I thought the point was the beer event.

Yes me too. Or something.

Well, yes, I think that is the point for J3ff going there, I think carl was just warning other interested parties that it wasn't just a normal, stop for a beer type of thing.

yeah i was interested until i saw how big of a deal it's going to be. i was thinking about going to bad apple after work to sit outside and drink and read a book, if anyone cares to join me. or if everyone's going to paddy longs, i'll just go there. just not sure if it's my kind of deal.

kind of want to go and be a super-snooty vegetarian

I'm actually leaving work early today (like around 5), but I might want to go home before I go out. Bad Apple could be appealing, too.

I am warning Courtney's family, mostly because I can't imagine going there to get a beer unless I specifically and really, really desperately wanted one of the beers they are tapping.

Or, what jvc said.

Like, the event starts at 7 and he was planning to get there at 5. That's him by himself.

I'm still sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so I'm not going anywhere but meeting n/a at the Bad Apple sounds very appealing. A-PEEL-ING.

APPLE-ING

I'm kind of afraid I have an antibiotic-resistant ear infection and my head is going to rot away from the inside out. I'm about 45% kidding.

You've been reading the horror poll countdown too long, haven't you?

There haven't even been any plague movies in the results yet!!!

I just meant wrt the terrible puns, but I guess that too!

Oh hahaha then yes, Eric H. was a direct influence on that pun, definitely.

ok well then i'll definitely be at bad apple from 5:30 for a couple of hours, probably sitting outside

sorry jeff

Fuck u hipster.

Let's meet at the bad apple then. COURTNEY ARE U THERE?

JESSE ARE YOU LISTENING

ANNIE ARE YOU OKAY?

ARE YOU OKAY?

ARE YOU OKAY, ANNIE?

We should get our own board.

OK -- Kr and I are planning to get to Bad Apple around 6.

Bad Apple sounds great, but its pretty far from both my office and the wine tasting event for me to make it in a relatively short window.

No worries.

but it's on the way home!!!!!

jvc I would like to meet you

Jeff I would like you to come my lady to the Bad Apple.

Maybe later. For what it's worth, I made it to paddy Longs. Let's see if I can nurse a low abv beer for 2 hours.

I would like to meet the rest of you guys, but I'm in the South Loop at work now and I ultimately need to be at a wine tasting in LakeView at 6:45, so it doesn't really make a lot of sense for me to head out to the Bad Apple tonight. Maybe next time.

ugh bad apple doesn't have its outdoor seating set up and I want to be outside. Standing on the sidewalk trying to decide what to do.

pretty stupid not to have that set up for this weekend's weather

Tell them it is stupid not to set up outdoor tables for this weekend's weather and just stand there in front of the hostess stand until they do something about it.

(have you arrested)

they're being annoying about knowing exactly how many people are coming and when so I'm moving elsewhere TBA

I'm in the beer garden at Gannon's next door to bad apple

It was a bit of a clusterfuck last night. I was there two hours early and then the Bourbon Country went on at 7pm. The Coffee keg kicked in 18 minutes and the Bramble Rye bottles didn't last longer than half an hour.

Bourbon Country or Bourbon County?

Bourbon Country Cash Grab

County. Sorry, was fuzzy in the brain.

Next event for me is mini-golf at the Goose Island barrel warehouse.
