OK.

EDIT: Thanks for starting this thread

marked for observation (and added to the map).

I like games and booze!

Yay!

Be careful: the Chicago GWJ Contingent are serious drinkers. Prep your liver for a marathon.

It's a good thing I don't live in Chicago anymore then. I can't run with the young kids these days, so I'll leave the liver poisoning shenanigans to the pros. Though, we did make a good show of it in SF the other night. And I managed to put away 4 whiskeys and a Manhattan pre-w00tstock so I gotta get *some* props.

I've been training all year.

I don't know if I will be able to come down. It's Make a Difference Day that day and volunteering is important.

My liver has enjoyed its decadent lifestyle for far too long. Time to teach it a lesson.

Oh, and games!

I am more than competent myself.

Volunteer your liver for testing new alcohols... Malort anyone?

Did you know that there's efforts to coordinate a fundraiser in conjunction with International Goodjer day for Child's Play? Maybe after a day of volunteering, you could treat yourself to a well-deserved coctail with your internetty friends and help out this cause with a buck or two, as well. I'd like to think the goodness of our GWJ people could make a difference, too : )

Edit: It is so incredibly serendipitous that GWJ day fell on Make a Difference Day! I may have done a little happy dance when I read that.

You could just volunteer another day. Everyone will be volunteering that day, if you do it on a different day you will be making MORE of a difference. (enable mode off)

I've not yet actually tasted Malort. Need to fix that.

You could make a difference in your level of sobriety, like I will be!

It's a digestif, too, so it might help if you eat a massive hamburger before drinking lots of beer, like I've done!

We can always have the S&T at the Ravenswood Pub. They are amenable to these sorts of things and the owners would most likely set up a drink special. It isn't particularly convenient to get to though. They will have Malort and a pretty decent beer selection.

I like this because it's within walking distance for me.

You people suck. You should have done this before I got all set for Oily's. :p

Oh well, next time!

Blago is actually at the Ravenswood today watching the Lions game.

Well where else was he supposed to go?

Maybe looking for a job...?

He has that lucrative reality TV thing going on now.

I was expecting "prison."

He should have called me. Actually, Blago is a terrible client, except for the main thing: he has/had money to pay...

I'm down for some games and other shenanigans. I'm going to bring another guy that's new the GWJ as well.

I was just reminded I have a wedding to go to on the 23rd. So once again I have to miss this. Maybe next year.

Is it your wedding?

All I'm saying is this: priorities, man.

Do I know who's getting married? If not, their big day isn't that important. If so, I reserve judgment until learning whose wedding it is.
