Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Shir isn't familiar with Chicago, and I think she was hoping people would chime in with things they'd like to do, like the Art Institute or a boat tour etc.

Do we want to do The Chicago Diner tomorrow?

I just need a place to rendevouz. I'll be driving down from Madison. I plan to leave 8ish, which will bring me into Chicago between 10:30-11 depending on traffic.

Okay, how about this: 11am brunch at the Halsted Chicago Diner, plans for the day to be determined over food.

...pending agreement from Shir.

Awesome. Directions look pretty straight forward. As long as parking isn't too hard to find!

Shir and I are in for 11am! Also she thanks you for distracting her from her rant about the misuse of the term metadata in the media.

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

I'm working during the day tomorrow. No brunch for me.

Does anyone want to join us?

Ooh! Maybe.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

I've put my cell-phone number in my profile. I've currently got shrift's, dcp's and brenda's, so I think I'm prepared for finding folks in Chicago.
