Chicago's first meetup of 2010.
January 6th, 2010 at the Billy Goat under Michigan. I'll be there drinking beer, and you should be, too. Hope everyone's holidays were/are great, but either way let's have a glass or three.

I can make it to this one. I'll tunnel my way to the entrance if I have to!

I am in this time - I finally planned ahead far enough to keep this night free. Looking forward to it!

This time, I'm going to try saying that I won't come, because I've said that I would for the last two, and didn't. So I'm not coming.
But I am.
And I've got a surprise this time!

I totally forgot the Metafilter meet-ups existed for a few months, which is a sad, sad thing. I need some Meef up in my...queef.
Also, I'm back on the cute tiny baby animals (my 2010 resolution: EAT MORE PORK FAT) so I'm looking forward to actually trying one of the cheeseborgers.

So I just got summoned to be in Chicago on the 6th. I might come depending on what time it is.
Is anyone going to the Zombie March?

My guess is SpiffyRob got his tips frosted to ring in 2010.

People usually start arriving about 5:30PM, I believe. I work a good distance away, so I don't get there until 6:30. We usually go until 9:30 or 10:00, sometimes later.

Yeah, I'm usually there by 530 but people don't really start showing up until after 6.

I'll be there, but will not be consuming several tiny beers as promised. Also, if any of you know anything about bikes I could use some help with my rear brakes. Rode to work today and the rear brakes were not working right. Would like to get them fixed before riding home if possible.

hydrophonic, cool, although I think I fixed them just now. But doesn't hurt to get a second look. :)

Still at work, so it's looking less and less likely that I'm going to make it. Someone text me if things wrap up before 9.

Eamon, you should really try to come. Our server us concerned. (Also my iPhone tries to correct your name as both "ramen" and "Ramone" which is hilarious)

So about a half hour ago, I got off that train at Lawrence, delighted that I'd had such a great night.
And the clock said "3:56"...and, to be honest, I nearly pissed myself. Because I'd had a great time. But not a "losing a sixth of a day of a time."
And then I saw that it said P.M.
And never had post meridian made a man so happy as I realized the clock was fucked up.
So thanks to everyone for giving me a "totally worth being out until 11:56 pm" time.
And hope to see you next month, if not sooner.
Seriously, hanging out with my family for Christmas gave me lots of good karaoke ideas -- I have an iPhone note full of them - so let me know if you're up for some ill-tuned Bong time
(P.S. My earlier message which stated "Our server us concerned." makes no sense if you don't understand the typo, but it apparently got the job done, so I'm glad I made it.)

Good to see all you kind folk again even if I only got a tiny glimpse of Eamon's beard before I had to leave.

eamon - I left around 9 to catch the 9:40 train home. had I known you were en route, I'm sure I would suck around for 3 or 4 more darks and a later train.
