The cats unfortunately will be staying home, so they can keep the dog in line while I am gone.

We also have a second Tuesday lunch-up. Also, folks can usually be lured out on the flimsiest of pretexts, IF there is a chosen time, place, and date.

Unfortunately work has yet to confirm my travel dates, so consider this a warning shot that I shall be in your city soon, most likely.

Yeah, Lemmings kind of wins for "super chill, easy going, cheap, and walking distance from a Blue Line stop."

I just noticed the pizza slur tag. Someone take this man to Pequod's and prove him wrong.

I will take that pizza(ish) challenge.
Unless they somehow can't rebuild the radar station, I should still be landing at 4:30 sunday and hopefully my travel pass will still take recharges when I land.

OMG I'll go to Pequod's again, so long as I don't have to break my ankle this time.

Oh my god I might be able to make this. I mean, I should get in the day before, and there will be Unpacking, but it's still a possibility.

Hot Tip: Lemmings is walking distance from Dimo's, and is not the kind of place to care if you bring a slice of pizza in. S'MORES PIZZA. CHEEZY POTATO PIZZA. PORK NACHO PIZZA. MACARONI AND CHEESE PIZZA.
I mean, it's no Pequod's, but it's pretty good.

I hate to change my RSVP so late, but somehow I fucked up my neck late Friday and it's still a mess. It'll be a game time decision for me.

You can play along home and watch the circle get more red as more flights get delayed.

Planning to come to this, especially since bibliogrrl is bringing books for me and I don't want her to drag them there for no reason (once a bookseller, always a bookseller....).
Lemme know if people are getting wicked delayed for whatever reason, but the show I'm going to should be ending around the time this is starting.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself. (As y'all may have noticed.) Once I have secured employment, mrzarquon, there should totally be more hangs. Maybe I can drag my erstwhile roommate out for that.
(All of you are awesome and I adore you.)

Just an update: I'm going to get pizza with folks at Dimo's tonight around 6pm if folks want to catch up before I leave Chicago for a while.
