New Year: Resolve to get some Goat-Frog in your life
posted January 2, 2015 8:01 AM RSS | iCal | +googleCal
Wed January 7 at 6:00 PM, The Original Billy Goat Tavern
430 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Wednesday the 7th is the first Goat-Frog of 2015. You deserve some post-holiday shenanigans. Meet at the Goat under Michigan Avenue after work. Head over to the Frog for karaoke before 10. Bring your A-game.
That's right--it's the season of no garlic. That's a shame.

Before I forget: by the power vested in me by The Chicago Cabal* I am declaring this meetup Guilt Free. It's going to be 15 below with wind chill, so no goading or prodding or any other sort of manipulation allowed, especially by the likes of me. I hope to see you all, but if not we'll do this all again real soon.
Follow your heart and be sure to bundle up.

It's a new year and a new eamondaly.
But seriously, I am 98% sure I will be there tomorrow (If I have to be downtown for work, I'm going to be up for going and I'm 98% sure I'll be in the office.)

I will be there and I will be wearing a very pretty but completely un-winterized hat. So I may or may not arrive with both ears intact.

No one is ice skating at the new park either. Wimps.

I'm at work til midnight - if people are still frogging some goats into the wee small hours then I might drop by.

I can't, I'm sorry. If I was closer in I might have the fortitude but no.

Apology not accepted. Add me to the broken hearts you've collected.

Also, I think I saw some A-games. A couple of B-games, too, maybe even an F-game, but I'm not judging.

readery, perhaps you could have given us insight into the strange behavior of accountants. Also, you have heard of the movie The Hunger, right?

I only remember thinking The Hunger should have been better considering Catherine Deneuve and David Bowie...I know I saw it but it was a while ago, maybe I was high or something.
And accountants, strange? hmmm

There's no "accounting" for taste.
(Sorry, it's just killing me that I didn't somehow do this joke on Wednesday, so I had to put it somewhere. You are ALL amazing.)
