Chicago Mid-month Pizza Party!
posted April 12, 2011 3:12 PM   RSS | iCal | +googleCal

Fri April 15 at 7:30 PM, Giordano's
2855 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Turns out my Friday (this Friday, April 15th) is open, and though I'd like to check out jtron's show at Late Bar, there's zero chance of me doing that if I have the chance to go home and sit on my couch first. So: pizza party beforehand! There's a Giordano's half a mile south on Milwaukee though I'm open to other suggestions. Anyone interested?

Also, Portland's catching up. And I hate them.

I don't really hate them.

Maybe I do. A little.

Got a show that night. Sucks because that Giordano's is walkable from my apartment.

I might be able to make this, but I work early on Saturday so I might skip jtron's show.

I'm in DC for work. :(

I wish I could, but I can't

Me, too, Windigo. I've got plans already. Good plans, plans I'm looking forward to. But I kept hoping there'd be an auxiliary meet-up this month, even though I figured I'd be busy when someone finally set one up.

I'm busy this Friday, but would be available for a meet-up if it were next week. Scheduling a pizza meet-up during Passover might be a dick move though, if any of our people keep kosher.

As of now I'm about 80% in. And it's on the Blue Line.

Only if dicks are trayf.

Is May 4 the next Goatatron? What time do those usually start?

Also, -- does the non-existent cabal ever do random social things like "let's all go to the Music Box and see the National Theatre's "live" film of their production of Frankenstein?

Or board-game nights?

Or trips to the zoo? Or Great America?

Just curious....

I can probably go Friday too. Anything nonWednesday is a go for me.

Pretty much at least one of us will do just about anything suggested. I like games, personally and never go to karaoke.

The 4th is indeed the next regularly-scheduled drunkening at the Goat and they usually start about 6ish.

I'm potentially game. I'm waiting to hear back from someone about Friday, but if nothing comes up there I'd love some MeFi-pizza.

And yes, a pizza meetup next week would suck.

Yeah, tzikeh, if you have an idea, propose something, and people will likely show interest. This will also help us stay ahead of Portland. Which seems to be the trend.

I should clarify. Anything nonWednesday and proBingo is a go for me.

Okay, I made it official. Let's say three yes votes by noon tomorrow or we'll call it a no-launch.

I'm in!

I'm probably in!

Even though we still don't have three confirmed, I've decided I want pizza, so I'll be there at 7:30pm regardless. Whee!
posted by eamondaly at 12:47 PM on April 15, 2011


I'll probably meet for pizza, but then back home. Rain + phenomenally shitty week = cranky. Or crankier.
posted by crankyrogalsky at 1:05 PM on April 15, 2011


Hooray! If you make it to the thing, make yourself known! And please excuse in advance how out of it I will be, I am "in the zone" as it were. No, that is not a drug reference.

I'm going to eat with my daughter first then head over for a bit.

Thanks to eamondaly for pointing out the Adams thread. I just lost an hour of my life and might be cross-eyed for days (lesson: don't read long threads on iPhones) and it was completely worth it.
