My skin is crawling. You realize this means I can never, ever go in there ever? And that is just sad.
I'm sorry to have traumatized you. If it is any consolation, there are other cold-slab ice cream mashing places that don't sing!
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And here is the Zap2it story about the cancellation.

And then he tried to get me to hyperventilate for three minutes, but I fell asleep a minute in.
Tired, huh?
Glad it is over. Crap, hit post by accident. Hope it gets some answers that can be acted on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good lord, ita.

I'm pretty sure (confirm with msbelle) that you can tell them not to cheer ahead of time, and they won't.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, it could be worse. They used to sing for every. single. order. At least now, it's just tips. I always say, "I'll leave you my change, but you must promise to NOT sing, 'kay?" They always agree.
And, there's a Cold Stone very near your house (Halsted & Cornelia-ish).

Hee--the geekiness of knitting. You can make Yoda ears for your baby, or mittens with a pocket for your iPod, or performance art!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone needs to find Bradley Cooper and give him a hug. Curse the network gods, curse them to eternity.

yes, it is true, you can. I believe they refer to it as a silent tip. I threatened no tip if there was singing or cheering. If you go to a fairly empty coldstone and make this request, I believe you can escape with yummy ice cream and no trauma.

Oh, I didn't know about that one. There's one on Diversey, too.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Not sure exactly what I'm doing this weekend but some part of it will involve books. I'm going to finally go to the local used book store and sell the bag 'o books I've had around since before we moved. Also, I will go to the library.Mmmm, books.
