I'd love to see Maria and folks on Sunday but I'll be in tech. My life is become tech.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
It's looking like brunch or lunch works best. I'm more than happy to head closer in to the city if it's more convenient for folks.

I can't remember--are you from Chicago originally, Maria? If not, you have been to the city before, right? 'Cause, if not, I must take you on a driving tour; I was told by my stepfather that I do them really well (I watch enough local history/tour shows on PBS to rattle off significant locations with relative accuracy).

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
He and Matilda and Emmett (and if K-Bug wants to assist, that'd be awesome) can hang out here and stack things and knock them over and we can all go to the playground in Golden Gate Park and ride the carousel and visit the giant ferns and feed the ducks in the secret pond, and there will be pictures to ensure that all the other Buffistas die of teh cute.

I can vouch for this, at least in part. I was recounting your Streeterville tale just the other day. (Or at least the vague outlines that I could remember.)

Well, if a city event would be better for more people on Sunday, how about lunch on the North (ish) side? A few suggestions:
A new Persian place in Rogers Park called Masouleh (the link is to a review at Gaper's Block, which makes this place sound yummy!)
Hopleaf in Andersonville is considered one of the best bar-food restaurants in town, with an extensive beer list. Its speciality is Belgian food, but the beer is from all over from what I've read.
Podhalanka in Ukranian Village for Polish food.
Tre Kronor in Andersonville for Swedish brunch/lunch is supposed to be wonderful, although it doesn't have Ann Sather's cinnamon rolls.
And, if you're in the mood for BBQ, Honey 1 is said to be just about as good as Chicago BBQ gets (we're not really known for it here, though)

Thanks, Brenda!!
I was recounting your Streeterville tale just the other day.
Ah, yes, Capt. and Ma Streeter, squatting on landfill on the front doorsteps of the rich and famous on the Gold Coast, fighting off the cops with a meat cleaver and a shotgun for decades until he finally got busted for selling liquor on a Sunday. Now, the most expensive property in the city!

Our wings are not tired.
Jess. I sure as hell hope that I am in town at that point. You're going to F2F, too, right??!!
