― JuliaA, Friday, 4 May 2012 02:12 (eleven years ago) link
It's too hot.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 02:49 (eleven years ago) link
It was hailing so hard we couldn't hear the TV.

In case you missed it on FB, there was an incident tonight. While Courtney she was walking by the Walgreen's by her house, someone threw a travel coffee mug at her and hit her in the leg.

It hurt!
I have another youswoop for little Bucharest - I loved the food there but it was very slow. I want the owner to pour a shout in my mouth, like I read about on yelp, and then happened to k8e.
― courtnoodle, Friday, 4 May 2012 03:16 (eleven years ago) link
Weird, Kr and I drove by Little Bucharest last night and she was like, "What do you know about that place?" And I said, "I know that it was apparently one of the worst Restaurant Clubs ever, but that was when it was a different location" -- I think it used to be on Ashland, by Art of Pizza -- "and from what I've heard, it's gotten better. But I also know they operate one of the summertime riverfront lunch spots, and I've been there, and it's not that great."

Why did someone throw a travel mug of coffee at you? Did you look sleepy?

The Iceman Cometh at the Goodman got a rave in the NYT today, but I guess it's ending mid-June? Chance of extension?
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 May 2012 13:55 (eleven years ago) link
It's extended once already, might extend more. Also, Tracy Letts's translation of Three Sisters, with a zillion Steppenwolf ensemble members, will be up and running then.
And hey, I'm bringing An Interrogation Primer to the NY Fringe Festival in August.
― caro's johnson (Eazy), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:14 (eleven years ago) link
Eazy, I will go, esp if you get an air-conditioned venue.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:21 (eleven years ago) link
Here's hoping it'll have a/c and not require climbing more than three flights of stairs.

congrats eazy!

Where and when for lunch, homie?
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:46 (eleven years ago) link
^^

I sent it to my coworker who is an avid Bears fan and her immediate response was, "Ha. Ass."
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:50 (eleven years ago) link
i normally go at 1:30, but can probably go at 1 if that will work better. i don't have a location in mind.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:50 (eleven years ago) link
tortoise was pretty fun the other night. they were very tortoise-y. dan bitney (who is apparently from madison) looks a lot like chris elliot, right?
― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
I'll go if we go at 1 and you pick a place (because three different people are asking me to select three different places for a drink tonight, dinner Monday, and lunch in like two weeks and I feel burdened).
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:51 (eleven years ago) link
ok i'll make sure i can go at 1 and think of a location. falafel sounds kinda good right this second but also it's only 10 a.m.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:52 (eleven years ago) link
Thank you for lifting some of the burden from me, n/a. You are a true friend.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 14:57 (eleven years ago) link
You guys go to lunch too early. I usually go at 11 or 11:30.
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 14:58 (eleven years ago) link
I never go to lunch until like 1:15 or so because I like to be able to sit and read, so I want the lunch rush to die down a little.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:00 (eleven years ago) link
i was originally forced into a 1:30 lunch but now i like it because i'm more productive before lunch and it makes the afternoon is nice and short
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:02 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, me, too.
Speaking of my burdens, can anybody think of an interesting place to eat lunch that's Red Line accessible between Fullerton and Thorndale? That seems like it should be easy, but of course I'm blanking.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:03 (eleven years ago) link
Wait that me too was to jvc. I am not more productive before lunch, as evidenced by my participation on ILX.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:04 (eleven years ago) link
HEY JESSE

Aw, that's 77 so it didn't work. Still. You're weird, dude. Have lunch with me and nick and I'll pour borscht down your chest so it will make a nice contrast with the cool air.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:08 (eleven years ago) link
yes everyone should come have lunch with us at the place i haven't chosen yet
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:10 (eleven years ago) link
let's all go and apply more pressure on n/a's unmade decision

anyone wants to come to The Nile in HP w/ me, I'll buy

I eat lunch pretty late. Usually around 2. But I often have a piece of fruit around noon to tide me over.
― sockless in moccasins (jaymc), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:43 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, and I probably can't join you guys today, but I'll go some other time for sure.
― sockless in moccasins (jaymc), Friday, 4 May 2012 15:44 (eleven years ago) link
i love the mango/sticky rice dessert from thai pastry.

I'm starving right now.
― Jeff, Friday, 4 May 2012 15:57 (eleven years ago) link
I may have lunch with yous. I need to pick up my contacts. Can we eat near Level?
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:28 (eleven years ago) link
we could do bombay wraps again
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:29 (eleven years ago) link
or mezza (also on wells)
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:31 (eleven years ago) link
Either sounds good. Mezza is Mediterranean? Do you still want falafel? If yes, let's go there.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:33 (eleven years ago) link
Those places are not near Level.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:34 (eleven years ago) link
Well propose a place near Level, then.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:35 (eleven years ago) link
i looked on the map, but maybe i was looking at the wrong place.
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
the problem is that level is the opposite side of the loop from me. we could do the macy's food court?
― congratulations (n/a), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:38 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, sorry, Nick.
Macy's would be very fine. Or any place convenient to all of us.
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
I love the Macy's food court. Is that sufficiently convenient for you, Nick?
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Friday, 4 May 2012 16:41 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it'll take me 10-15 minutes to get over there but that's ok, i've done it before
