Well, if I see your wife, I'll tell her you said, "Hello."

You'd be surprised.

COMPLETELY HAIRLESS.

Sarcophagus' heart is full of neutrality. It sickens me!

What makes a man go neutral?

Lust for gold? Power? Or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality.

Edit: This makes me excited for Sat. It's going to be a good time.

Sadly, we're sequestered from the rest of the bar so there's no chance of spontaneous Arrested Development chicken impressions with the table of strangers next to us. Best S&T memory ever!

Has anyone in this family even seen a chicken before?!

That was the best moment in S&T history.

That truly was a great night.

Ok, I should be able to make it, but I'm most likely going to need a ride or something to and from the train station. The closest station on the Milwaukee North Metra line is the Healey station, which is about 4 miles west of the bar on Fullerton. If I could bum a ride from anyone going from that direction, it would be great.

Failing that, I could also drive there. What's the parking situation look like?

There is also a bus that could take you from the train station to the bar (would take about 20 minutes according to google maps)

Once I work out my schedule, I may be able to offer to play tour guide and get people from Union Station and Ogilvie over to the CTA. Or maybe even drive or taxi (it may be cheaper to split taxi fare at that distance).

Some notes for tomorrow:

1) Tweet the sh*t out of tomorrow with #GWJ so it becomes a trending topic.
2) We won't have video or be able to skype with other S&Ts but we will have audio for the donation drive drawing. Unless I can find something to set my laptop within reach of the super short audio cord.
3) This:

4) At some point, we'll call the Conference Call and leave a voicemail. Though, the podcast is taking live calls. Not sure how that'll work but we'll try to get in on that if possible.

Podcast is at 7:30p so no dilly dallying if you want to hear the donation drive drawing.

I am envious of your large concentration of goodgers. Almost makes one want to go to Chicago... but then I remember it's infested with Cub fans.

Will do my best to be there a little bit before 7:00pm to get in on das boot action. Figuring out how to interact with the live show may be a little touch and go but we'll try! Thanks for setting this up, McChuck!

With the cancellation I had to make to D&D this afternoon, I may be able to get out of the house for the S&T.

If anyone wants a guide getting up there from the downtown train stations, let me know.

New York has cockroaches, we've got Cubs fans. You learn to live with them and laugh at them, though. Especially during the Crosstown series.

Much like cockroaches, Cub fan infestations can be prevented by liberal sprayings of DDT.

Question. Does the red line dump out around there? Or am I cabbing it?

Walk half a mile west from the Fullerton stop. It's on the Southwest corner of Fullerton and Southport.

The S&T is in the mezzanine, just up the stairs when you enter.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it after all.

I'll probably be there a bit early.

Will try to be there early!

I'm out. I'll see you on the other side of the stream! Have some whiskey shots for me.

We did some shots of Jameson at the end, so we'll say those were in your honor.

So much fun, guys. Thanks again to McChuck and the gang for arranging this and bringing the games. Dixit was especially fun and appealed to my hippie literature degree.

Also, keep December 15th open for the newly announced Child's Play benefit concert. And tell all your Midwestern friends.

Got a message from SAM this morning, sounds like you guys had a good time.

EDITED for no reason whatsoever.

Yes, this!
