No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

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

You know, I keep confusing this trip (which is 2 weeks away) with my Vermont trip (which is 1 week away). I keep thinking I need everything all sorted out for Chicago, but I have some time.

(I would really prefer to not be traveling back to back -- basically, I get home from Vermont on a Monday and go to Chicago on Thursday of that week -- but that's how everything shook out.)

meara and I had a tiny F2F in KC today! She's in town on business, so we just went to dinner (BBQ, natch.) It was SO LOVELY to see a BUffista!

We talked about...books, duh. And girls.

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 gots my ticket for the Avengers thingie!

It looks like we still have to pick a place to eat? I loved the Farmhouse when we were there last year, but I haven't eaten at any of the other places shrift listed. I do eat a lot of BBQ here in Highland Park, and sushi is OK for me but I have a slight preference for non-BBQ and non-sushi, so I'd prefer one of the last three shrift listed:

How about Hub 51? Their menu looks really good, and I like that there's a wide variety of options.

Hub 51 has a wide variety on the menu (including a gluten free menu). I've eaten there a few times and the food was good. Also they have a drinks menu if people only can come for a little while. Also also, I have gift cards so I may be able to subsidize dinner.

I can make a reservation. How many people do we have and what time should we meet? 5:30?

I'll be available any time after 5, so that works for me.

Is Hub51 a place that will judge me for wearing my Captain America t-shirt and jeans? I mean, I'm still wearing them, but I want to be prepared.

Punishingly Intricate

Chicago-istas, while you're in here, I'll be in your town May 11-13. Would love to meet up for lunch or drinks if anyone is available. We'll be at the Monaco.

Nope. I intentionally did not list any place where the attire was dressy because I too will be showing up in an Avengers shirt.

I have no Avengers-wear. I have a Strong Female Protagonist t-shirt. And a t-shirt of Gaiman's Death wearing a Joy Division t-shirt. But that's it for superhero-ish shirts.
