Calling All Chicago Area DUers!!!
Just wondering who's faces I'm going to see on Sunday? How about checking in if you're planning on showing your pretty/handsome face in at our pre-St. Patrick's Day get together?

4. Well...
I would, but I'm under the impression that I don't have enough posts to be told where it is.

6. It's not that you don't have enough posts to be told.....
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 01:37 PM by XNASA
It's that you don't have enough posts to have PM.

But hey, just show up at any ol' Irish Pub this Sunday and maybe we'll be there. Call it the 'Luck of the Irish'.

I mean, how many Irish Pub's can there be in Chicago? :7

7. Unfortunately, you're right
However, we get together once every couple of months, so stick around, post awhile and let us get to know you and I'm sure you'll get a personal invite to the next one.

15. I'll be there.
Just because I miss Chicago and I have a few days off.

Also because the Ohio DUers are a bunch of dead-asses who are apparently afraid of beer and fun. Yes, that was a challenge.

16. Ahhhhh.....
Edited on Fri Mar-05-04 07:32 PM by greatauntoftriplets
We Chicagoans are neither afraid of beer, nor are we fun challenged. And will ya honor us with the singin' of a few Scottish airs, as ya did in the pub Tuesday eve? A Scottish drinkin' song would be preferable, considering the surroundings.

On edit: left out a crucial word.

As you will find out, Chicago DUers are neither afraid of beer, nor of fun. We are afraid of nothing and our asses are far from dead! :-)

So, the gauntlet is thrown.

That is your gauntlet, right?

Okay! What smartass threw the gauntlet?

It doesn't seem to find multi-tasking difficult.

Kevin says hi. He may come on Sun.

We're getting a new game started. Do you like to throw dice?

40. Sorry. Boys only.
The He-man Women Hater's Club is in full swing.

There are cigars and whiskey and poker chip flying everywhere.

Best to stand clear if you're a girl.

BTW, I don't drink whiskey, I drink bourbon, preferably single batch please. ;-)

Nobody calls me "darlin' " and gets away with it for long. You know you're seeing me on Sunday and that give me approximately 36 hours (or so) to ruminate on your punishment. :nuke:

you just might have to do that. :-)

What type of music do you like? Maybe you could do it around a music festival in Grant Park?

51. I have called the place and told them to steel themselves for our arrival.
It is no problem. In fact, the owner not only remember us, but was quite happy to hear of our return. Evidently it means that we were not overly rowdy, no matter how much we tried.

See you all then!
