Back in Chicago - Thursday 31st
Rossi's It Is!
A last minute trip has me in Chicago this Thursday night. I am staying at the Marriott on Magnificent Mile downtown. I haven't seen you guys in over a year. [more inside]
Visiting Chicago, anyone want to meet at Hopleaf?
I got a bunch of great responses to this question about what to do in Chicago, and one of the suggestions for things to do in Chicago is a meetup. So, does anyone want to meet up at Hopleaf on Saturday the 5th at around 7:30pm? [more inside]

GOATENATING THE COUNTRYSIDE
September has begun (or will have had begun when this meetup has happened) and thus it is time for a billy goat tavern meetup followed by the totally optional (and totally awesome) karaoking at the blue frog.
Once you go greasy, you'll probably have intestinal troubles
April showers may bring May flowers, but May flowers make my eyes itch. Hopefully, they'll all die in June. [more inside]
Pop! Six! Squish! Uh uh! Cicero! Lipschitz!
I'm coming back to Chicago in June and can get together the 16th.
Have you found a karaoke joint to replace the Bongo Room? I'm ok with going somewhere else for those who don't like singing.

Mrs. O'Lantern left her leary in the shed [more inside]
March Goating--Pre-shearing party
I keep losing track of when the March Goating is. It should be next week, but for the leap year thing, it's the week after. So I'm putting it here, to keep me from forgetting. Perhaps it will help someone else. In the interests of helping others, we'll meet instead at the Grafton Pub, in Lincoln Square, where misskaz is guest bartending from 6pm-9pm to raise money for the shearing of her goat head for charity.
Tiny Fix Bar Night & Group Ride
Miss Kaz and I started a bike gang. Our first event is a bar night at one of our favorite tiny local watering holes that will end with a short, three mile group ride to the best monthly dance night in town. If you don't bike, we won't tell. [more inside]

HALLOWEEN 2011
I have no idea what I'm doing for Halloween, which falls on a Monday this year. Anyone in a similar predicament for that day, or the previous Friday/Saturday (28th/29th)?
First Goatup of Fall
You know you want to be there, so just say yes to tiny beers. Happy autumnal equinox evryone!
AUXILIARY AUXILIARY PIZZA MEETUP
Folks I am as serious as a boring lawyer commercial heart attack with no explosions. We are eating pizza at Pequod's and everyone is going to have to explain the bathroom Gandalf. In conclusion: Pizza. Pequod's. Eating. You. Me. [more inside]
Goat-Up
Didn't see the monthly goat-up post. Figured I'd make it.
I feel like Charlie from Charlie's Angels. Nobody ever sees me, but I'm running the cabal!
Do we have a goat for August 3rd?
There's no post for the (I assume) August 3rd Goat meet-up.
Of course, I'm just wondering, since I've never actually made it to one....
So, Miko's in town.
Miko popped into the picnic thread to say she'd be here July 23-28 and is free in the evening while she's here (except on Sunday and Monday). Like most conference-goers, she's staying Loopish. Since the monthly Goat is one week later, I propose a different spot. But where? There's the conundrum. We have decided upon Ten Cat in Lakeview. [more inside]
Let's ACTUALLY have a picnic!
How does next Saturday, August 13 sound? Lunch and bocce ball, Horner Park.

Any Mefites going to ASCO ?
So, ASCO (American Society for Clinical Oncology) is coming up, and I'm curious to know if there are any other oncology-oriented Mefites (at all), and if so, if any are going to the meeting? It's a pretty big meeting -- certainly there's got to be a few, huh?
A cancer-themed meetup? Could be interesting. We could, as a group, kibbitz as we roam the exhibit hall seeking out free trinkets and frozen yogurt treats.
The VelAff at Reggie's
Division Pub Crawl! (originally Coming to Portland!)
Me and baniak will be in Portland next month. Even though we here in Chicago consider PDX our IRL rival, we come in peace and want to see how it is possible your city can rival ours in meetups.
So, a BAR CRAWL! [more inside]

Monthly Goat.
Tiny Beers, cheeseborgers, possibly springlike weather. What has everyone been up to since last month? Meet us at the usual place, at the usual time, and listen to the usual stories. It will be fun! No, really. It usually is! The question is: "What are you doing to ensure it stays that way?" That's what I thought; see you there.
Funk
Hey if you'd like why don't you come to my gig at Alive One! My band, The Heard, is playing there from 10:00 until late. Instrumental funk along the lines of Medeski Martin and Wood, The Meters, Greyboy Allstars, etc. Also $3 craft beer cans.

Chicago Mid-month Pizza Party!
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?
