MeFiChi

MeFiChi? I'm going to be in Chicago from 5/28 thru 6/7. Any Mefites up for throwing back some adult beverages?
Side note: any Mefites considering attending any IML related events?

sure. i'm always up for booze. the 1st or 2nd works best for me. what part of town will you be in?

I'll actually be all over, am staying with friends in Berwyn and in Andersonville and may have a partial apartment swap for a place in Lakeview. I'm also highly mobile, so I'm good with whatever the masses agree upon so long as there are pints of Harp on tap.

I'm out of town b/w the 4th and the 8th, but would be glad for the chance to get together before then. Lakeview is about as far north as I'd be willing to go.

I might be up for it, as long as it's not a Saturday.

Awww. A friend of mine is going to IML. It would be kinda neat to go, but just isn't in the budget. Next year, maybe.

It would be fun to go to IML--maybe next year?

I'd be interested, but my schedule is somewhat restrictive that week — the 30th, the 1st, the 3rd, and probably the 4th are out. So don't go scheduling it around me, but I'll still watch this space with interest.

front runner is the 2nd. No Further North than Lakeview. Harp on tap.

may i suggest either the clark street ale house (certainly futher south than lakeview) or the lincoln tap room? or delilah's. who's up for delilah's?

I'm good for any of the above with Clark Street Ale coming up last.

I'd hit Delilah's. Not free on the 28th, but I could probably make most other dates.

What's IML?

International Mr. Leather. The event that creates the wonderful Memorial Day phenomenon of tourists wandering Michigan Avenue alongside men in assless chaps and bondage harnesses.

I'm up for whenever except for some dates I don't know right now including the 3rd through 5th. Probably.

OMG I live in Andersonville. And school's out for the summer which means I'm drunk. All the time. Let's be friends.

Oh. Thanks.

I might be in Chicago the weekend of the 4th, so, theoretically, I could be shouting it out with the rest of youse guys that weekend. This weekend, I'll be in KC, so, alas, I'd miss again.

OMG it's really odd to see Andersonville turning hip. I mean, my Grandma lived there forever. Hell, 5200N is almost home. (3500N was home...)

I'll actually be all over, am staying with friends in Berwyn

BTW, that's pronounced "Beeerrrr-wyynnnn"

So? Delilah's on 6/2? 8PM?
posted by felix betachat at 1:53 PM on May 24, 2005

That'd be perfect, felix.
posted by me3dia at 2:27 PM on May 24, 2005

I think I'll be there.
posted by goatdog at 10:34 AM on May 25, 2005

Sounds fun! I'm new to both the Chicago area and mefi, but I think I'll try and make an appearance.

Unforeseeable circumstances have kept me grounded in Albuquerque, so hoist a few for me and have a grand time.
