Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

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

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.

Count me in.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'll be there at 11:00 too.

I'm planning on taking a train down. If what we do for the rest of the day involves cars, will there be enough people with cars that I can catch a ride? Otherwise I can take my car too.

Who is surprised to hear my culture shock began at Sephora?

"I'm picking out a thermos for you /No ordinary thermos will do" now.

I wish I were kidding. My family, it can be very specific. And my sister... well, she’s something else in that scale. I have two models of specific thermos containers to look for. And a not-sure-how-idle "don't return home without it" line in an email.

shrift, did you already buy tickets? I’m asking so I won’t buy them redundantly.

Yay Chicago Diner today!

I'm here.

Looks like there'll be a little wait for a table. (We can't get a table til we're all here.)

Running late, sorry. Probably another 15 minutes.

Brunch was delicious. Tommmyrot, SailAweigh, dcp, and Shir are off visiting the Bean.

shrift, did you already buy tickets?

I just bought 3 tickets to King Lear for you, me, and dcp. Tommyrot, Brenda, and Aurelia are maybes.

Music Box Theatre is at 3733 N Southport Ave. We're planning to meet up around 11am.

If anyone wants to eat after, some ideas (the Cubs have a game tomorrow and so do the Blackhawks, so places may be busy):

Uncommon Ground: [link]

Wheel House: [link]

Julius Meinl: [link]

Southport & Irving (before 3pm or after 5pm): [link]
