430 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Same Goat time, same Goat location. We will also honor the closing of the Bizarro Goat. And THAT is why, you DON'T OFFER FRIES.

When I fly United out of O'hare from C terminal, I always like going to the Billy Goat stand there and getting a double and sitting in the jazz food-court, listening to the big band music.

I wish more of the people answering the Chicago based questions were part of the cabal. The recent Chicago job hunting question had 2 different people recommend my relatively unknown company, which was pretty surprising to me.

I'm tempted to post to MetaTalk with "There are an awful lot of Chicagoans answering this question. Just curious: do y'all have any interest in joining the monthly meet-ups?"
But then I figured that they must have their reasons, and it could be seen as rude to ask, or like I'm somehow being passive-aggressive about them not "taking part in the Chicago MetaFilter community" (though I bet some of them just don't know that the meet-ups exist.)
And yeah, I know this is ridiculous coming from someone who has made all of two meet-ups thus far.

I will either be arriving and leaving early, or perhaps not coming at all, tragically.

I will be arriving and leaving early, too! Unless everyone would like to forgo karaoke to come unpack my remaining boxes and help me carry a washing machine up a flight of stairs...
I can offer ice cream sandwiches! Nowhere to sit, though. Not yet. BUT SOON.

creating the IRL event but not coming should get you some kind of Chicago Cabal demerit. Like eamondaly getting to pick your next karaoke song, or having to give a piggy back ride to a cabal member to the frog or something.

Sorry, can't make it (yet again!) but wanted to wanted to give Mefites first dibs at the St. Vincent tickets I have that I'm not going to be able to use; concert is Fri., May 11 at the Vic and is sold out. Tickets are going for $40 each on Craigslist but I'm selling them for face value ($22 each), since they'd be going to a good home. If you're interested, Memail me.
Back to your usual Goat-related frivolities!

There is a massive group of interlopers in our usual place. I am perturbed.

Crush them, drive them from their lands, hear the lamentations of their women. Unfortunately I will hear them secondhand, as I am also out. :-/
