Its a big week for bad PR in Chicago. I'm finding it incredibly amusing to watch Tom Ricketts scrambling to distance himself from his Romney supporting family so he can ask the Democrat goverment for more $$$ for Wrigley.

Kr and I are potentially interested in Paddy Long's tonight. How long do you think you'll be there, Jeff?

I'm on the fence right now. Hung over. :(

Jeff, Friday, 18 May 2012 20:38 (1 year ago) Permalink

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

Jeff, Friday, 18 May 2012 20:41 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Friday, 18 May 2012 20:50 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yes me too. Or something.

Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 18 May 2012 20:51 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

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.

Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Friday, 18 May 2012 20:53 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 18 May 2012 20:54 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

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?

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.

Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 18 May 2012 21:00 (1 year ago) Permalink

We should get our own board.

Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 18 May 2012 21:34 (1 year ago) Permalink

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

Never translate Dutch (jaymc), Friday, 18 May 2012 21:35 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 18 May 2012 21:40 (1 year ago) Permalink

No worries.

Jeff, Friday, 18 May 2012 21:43 (1 year ago) Permalink

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

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 18 May 2012 21:43 (1 year ago) Permalink

jvc I would like to meet you

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

Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 18 May 2012 21:59 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

Jeff, Friday, 18 May 2012 22:02 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 18 May 2012 22:06 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 18 May 2012 22:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

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

heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 18 May 2012 22:24 (1 year ago) Permalink

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)

Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 18 May 2012 22:24 (1 year ago) Permalink

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

congratulations (n/a), Friday, 18 May 2012 22:28 (1 year ago) Permalink

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.

Jeff, Saturday, 19 May 2012 15:27 (1 year ago) Permalink

Bourbon Country or Bourbon County?

mh, Saturday, 19 May 2012 15:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

Bourbon Country Cash Grab

Steve Youngblood (dan m), Saturday, 19 May 2012 15:59 (1 year ago) Permalink

County. Sorry, was fuzzy in the brain.

Jeff, Saturday, 19 May 2012 16:29 (1 year ago) Permalink

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