Fri May 20 at 6:30 PM, Pequod's Pizza
2207 N Clybourn Ave, Chicago, IL, USA (Map & Directions)
Come have pizza at Pequod's, home of the first pizza meetup. This time, no one gets to share Crush's anchovies.
Because it's excellent goddamn pizza, as Adam will be sure to inform you.
We are hella owning the IRL sidebar now. Suck it, Portland!

But... that's during Chicago Craft Beer Week. As of this minute I'm not super psyched about the Friday events but I reserve the right to let delicious beer draw me away from delicious pizza. (I have my priorities).

No No, Nobody. I'm going to eat not-pizza this night and then marry a lady the next day.

Windigo, I'll call ahead and everything, once we have a decent idea of numbers...
...and can one not drink Craft Beers before and after such a meetup? Or is there something I'm missing?

Yeah, I'll be in the middle of preparing a 300+ page dissertation for an unreasonable and inhumane deadline. So I'll be ALL ABOUT pizza and unbridled drinking.

If you get me drunk enough I will help with* your dissertation.

Any update on numbers? It looks like 15 or so with half the maybes.

Do we need to reservatize or is it an umbrella reservation?

I set up for 15 under Metafilter or Ben, assuming some confirmed may drop, and some maybes may show, so we should be fine.
Also, PIZZA! I'm already hungry. Paritally because I didn't have much breakfast.

Metafilter or Ben
Medafilderörben, funnily enough, is German for "the world-sundering hunger for pizza." Which is what I have at the moment.

Much more definitely coming. Kind of wish I could put my guest as a maybe, but there's a strong chance Special Lady Friend will be along with me.

Hmmm. "Positions available: Assistant Manager, Kitchen Manager, Wait Staff, Kitchen Staff, Delivery Drivers, Phone People, Bussers/Food Runners." Something's provoked some massive turnover.

No mention of anything scandalous on yelp either. Doubly strange!
If only I hadn't left my Deerstalker hat and magnifying glass at home.

Maybe they took it down. I don't see it any more, either, but I did from home on Wednesday.

It doesn't appear any more, but it did when I posted that image. I also checked Yelp, certain that any misstep by a local pizza joint would be thoroughly documented there. Curious!

and, in what may or may not be a horrible idea, I've temporarily thrown my cell phone number into my profile, as I'm not going to be at a computer between now and when I leave work, so... could someone text me if you all are leaving / moving elsewhere?

Woo! Pizza is on. Horrible dissertation-writing is also on, but I will create a brief opening of possibility in the intentional fabric of intellectual capital in order to eat the fuck out of some pizza.

Sorry! I only just saw your messages, which is clearly too late to be helpful. None of the iPad-ers were there to give us up-to-date thread information, so we were clueless.
