All right, candyasses: Chicago meetup on May 21st, 6pm, Billy Goat on (under) Michigan.

Go, don't go, but I'll be there getting my drink on.

What is this ass-candy you speak of?

Ask crush. She's got plenty.

I can always count on the Chicago MeFites to have a meetup within one week of my visits. Damn it. Have a good time y'all.

Yeah, I'm going to be in chicago from the 9th to the 14th, and I'd love to meet the mefites there, regardless if they have ass-candy.

Ha, I was just thinking of posting for a meetup, since the last one fell through. I'll be there.

I resemble that remark. My ass, candied or not, will be there. But there better be more than one shot of Irish whiskey left behind the bar. Or there will be trouble.

No, really, eamondaly, couldn't you bump this up to the 14th, while I'm still in town?
posted by filmgeek at 11:23 AM on May 4

I'd be ok with it. Either day, I'll be there more like 6:30, thanks to working out by O'Hare.

I'm good with the 21st. For some reason, my brain is saying that there's something up with the 14th, but my calendar doesn't have anything there.
posted by eriko at 6:01 PM on May 4

I can't make the 14th, unfortunately.
posted by eamondaly at 7:05 PM on May 4

I can't make the 14th, as I will be in St. Louis watching radiohead be magnificent via my also-magnificent pit ticket.

However. For the 21st, I am there.

The 14th is my last day of finals, and I have a late night final that'll go till 9pm - so thats no good for me. But the 21st - oh man - like I needed an excuse to drinking during the two weeks I have before I start my summer internship.

Mr. Chairdude, I move the 21st be posted to the calendar.
posted by eriko at 6:59 AM on May 5

Seconded.
posted by adamdschneider at 7:26 AM on May 5

I think I can make it.

21st. Yah. Whatever works for eamondaly and crush. I do what they tell me.

How did eriko's post get a darkened background like one gets with a "mark as best answer" on Ask Mefi?
posted by WCityMike at 1:59 PM on May 8

Yeah, I want to know about eriko's post too.

And I'm in. Barring some stupid work thing.

My noobitude is 14% - MeetMegan and eamondaly are messing my game up.

I asked Matt — his response:

mathowie: "It's a new feature -- if you link to a comment in a sidebar meetup mention, it highlights so people can find it easily. It's supposed to be the definitive comment saying when and where a meetup is taking place."

So since the sidebar links to that comment, that's why it's highlighted.

Cool!

Does that mean I'm *the* definite article?

Hey guys, I'm unfortunately out. I am moving on Friday and I have way too much stuff to do. :( Have fun without me. Maybe next time!
posted by MeetMegan at 10:50 AM on May 18

I've got a meeting on the North Side at 6, but if y'all are hanging out as usual, I'll hopefully see you thereafter!
posted by asuprenant at 6:26 PM on May 18

I'm going to try really hard and get there right at 5 or 6pm. The last two times you guys have been nodding off while I was just on my first beer.
posted by wfrgms at 7:53 PM on May 18

I am also most likely down for the count this go-around. Someone smashed a window at the new place and it looks like Wednesday is the night for dealing with it.
posted by crush-onastick at 10:08 AM on May 19

Won't you need a drink after fixing it?
posted by eamondaly at 9:31 PM on May 19

I will most definitely need a drink. I should rethink this.
posted by crush-onastick at 7:27 AM on May 20

And wouldn't a free drink be best? 'Cause wfrgms is buying.
posted by eamondaly at 8:37 AM on May 20

I'm not a licensed CarWindowFixologist, but I'm pretty sure that right after you get the window in place you're supposed to have a few drinks to help make the glass stronger.
