Wed March 5 at 6:00 PM, Billy Goat Tavern
430 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
On behalf of the Chicago Chapter of the Cabal*, I repudiate the current rumor that there is "a rampant pro-billy goat prejudice" on Metafilter. Mr. quidnunc's allegations are scurrilous, pernicious, libelous, and, what's more, categorically untrue, and I reject them with the utmost strenulosity.

That bit of business concluded, I'm pleased to announce our seventieth or so monthly meetup, to be held on the first Wednesday of March at the famous Billy Goat Tavern!
*There is no Cabal.

Sadly, I will be skiing.
Happily, I will be skiing.

Guys, I don't know how to feel about this. But I won't be there this month.

But that means BACON BOMB IS A GO.

I'm pretty sure (though not completely sure) that broomball season will be done by 3/5.

I AM OUTRAGED THAT SOMEONE CALLED TRUMAN USELESS. His face has a million uses and the value in his getting trapped behind a fairly small handbag is immense. Plus, I think he's excellent when employed to eat extra crepes.

He slept curled up around my head last night, which was great (added warmth!) until he had a nightmare around 3am and kicked a bigass scratch into the side of my face.

He's also good for those times when you don't have enough poop in your house.

I am sorry about your face. But glad you have enough poop in your house.

Hey, remember when knowing the best shovelled path between your office and the Goat wasn't knowledge you needed to use months in a row?

That was back in the before time, in the long, long ago.

Unless me and baniak are eaten by the abominable snowman (which seems a distinct possibility) we will likely be there. Because we miss being around other people.

Looks like I will almost certainly be missing the Goat portion of the evening.

Ugh, filling the the peer pressuring eamondaly role does not come naturally to me at all. I suddenly feel horrible.

Like I'm just going to start going up and down the halls apologizing to everyone everywhere.

I'll be stopping by early (like 5) and leaving early, alas.

Don't forget to call over to the Frog to reserve a table.

Relevant to our discussion at the Frog, re: performing Queen songs if you aren't Freddie Mercury:

Queen to tour with Adam Lambert sitting in for Freddie Mercury

I'm so sorry I missed out last night, guys!

I hope you put in a few songs in my name and then sat in respectful silence while the music played and the smoke machine shoved vapor around the empty stage.

Can I make this have negative favorites?
posted by evisceratordeath at 1:41 PM on March 6, 2014


I reserve judgment until I know how Adam feels about cats.
