Wed May 2 at 6:00 PM, Billy Goat Tavern
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.

Heh, just came here to mention the Bizarro closing. Strange days.

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.

Something something tiny beers.

Something something guy asking questions about (potentially) Chicago! Maybe some of you could offer your expertise...

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 wish more of the people answering the Chicago based questions were part of the cabal.

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.

DON'T TELL ME WHAT PHUNNIEMEE CAN AND CAN'T DO!

My mommy says I can DO ANYTHING IF I SET MY MIND TO IT.

Oh, mommies. Is there any lie you won't tell?

I heard your mom lies like a rug.

Note: You're going to see these people in real life, so pics or it didn't happen.

Aww, I miss Chicago and the goatenings.

I'll be late: wrapping up The Elder Elemental Eye.

24 hours til the next goatening: banana boogaloo!

I will either be arriving and leaving early, or perhaps not coming at all, tragically.
posted by SpiffyRob at 6:32 AM on May 2, 2012


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.

Sorry friends, I am out. Have a wonderful time.

Working crazy late tonight. Sorry dudes.
posted by bryanthecook at 10:47 AM on May 2, 2012


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!

I just messaged you, carrienation

I'm out, guys. See you next time.
posted by phunniemee at 3:25 PM on May 2, 2012


There is a massive group of interlopers in our usual place. I am perturbed.
posted by evisceratordeath at 3:45 PM on May 2, 2012


I am bemused by Science, and thus require bescotching.
posted by Cold Lurkey at 4:10 PM on May 2, 2012


Crush them, drive them from their lands, hear the lamentations of their women. Unfortunately I will hear them secondhand, as I am also out. :-/
posted by adamdschneider at 4:10 PM on May 2, 2012


Weak, Adam. We are on the right as you enter for anyone still coming.
posted by evisceratordeath at 5:00 PM on May 2, 2012


The right?! What sort of anarchy is this?
posted by youngergirl44 at 5:02 PM on May 2, 2012


Oh shit, is today Wednesday?

You people better be having fun right now! I am in Amsterdam, just waking up and about to go on a countryside bike tour.
posted by misskaz at 11:35 PM on May 2, 2012


Right now is not quite as much fun as I was having last night.
posted by garlic at 7:17 AM on May 3, 2012


Super weak, I agree. Just getting things squared away for the trip in a few days.
posted by adamdschneider at 5:56 PM on May 3, 2012


FYI, I successfully identified the smell of lilacs yesterday. Thanks Chicago Cabal!
