Wed August 1 at 6:00 PM, The goat-ridden mountains of Utah
430 N Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Since we probably can't all go commune with the goats in Utah, we'll have to have our goat encounters here in town.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!
I won't make it down until 9-ish, but I'll be around.

I'm going to come for a bit! My puppy probably doesn't actually need food or attention, so it's OK.

I will try to make it to the frog. A singer from NYC I like is performing at Uncommon Ground on Devon at 8.

I won't be able to go to the September goat-up, so I'll definitely be at this one.

I'm going to try and get there but I might be too tired from flapping my way across the pond and chatting with immigration at O'Harry's.

I just realized this night is the Tiny Fix BBQ as part of a week of events for the Cycle Messenger World Championships. So, I will miss the Goat.
It's possible that I may make it to the Frog later that night, should that be happening. I will indicate this my changing my RSVP to Maybe.

Bad news: I will miss this Goatup, on account of being in Wisconsin all next week.
Good news: I will not be within fifty miles when Tzikeh and Phunniemee finally meet and will thus escape the antimatter detonation.

I'm just concerned that my being there will cause tzikeh to come down with a sudden case of measles or death or something and she'll have to miss this one, too.

Okay.
I have thus far been too "tired" and/or forgotten about the last.. three? meetups. But I am going to go to this one. Yes. I am going to go.

The little death? I think we've all had the little death. It is typically not bogus, though.

It turns out this is the same day as when I need to go to a Cubs game with my company. So my soul may be crushed, which would make me less inclined to go. As nobody likes to go goating with a crushed soul, petit mort notwithstanding.

It is looking less and less likely that I will make it to Blue Frog, BUT. I saw Virgil yesterday and he's gonna try to reserve y'all tables again. So you better go!

Let's leave the petit post-mortems to Thursday A.M., whereby you assay all of your judgements – alcohol choices, song choices, spandex choices – against the cold, harsh metric of hungover worthiness.
I'm likely to goat like a freakin' Buttermilk, but will continue southbound as the rest frog off.
I feel like most of that last sentence would be wholly cryptic outside of the caballistic Chicago Metafilter metier .

Andy's in the hospital so I'll be in the neighborhood, but if you don't see me, that means they released him, so good news either way.

I might not make it tonight, kids. I'm feeling generally crappy because of my pain meds and don't think going out to cavort will make me feel any better. I'm going to be at work a while longer, so if I start to feel better by the time I'm ready to leave, I'll pop by for a bourger.

...and cabal attendance (not a cabal) is dropping like flies. Flies that have been dropped. Possibly on their heads.
I'll be there soon, though. Finishing up work that needs finishing.
