Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

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

So, it looks like Tom and I will be in the Chicago area over a long weekend - November 9-12. We're taking a train! Trying to figure out a good place to stay, good beer bars, and of course, good restaurants. Girl & the Goat is on my radar, and doesn't Consuela have a relative doing something awesome in the city?

There is potential for a Buffista meetup based on seeing where some family obligations land.

Nora, you should totally go to Consuela's brother's restaurant, Farmhouse! LOADS of amazing beers and delicious food!

Ooh, Farmhouse, will investigate. Thinking that Friday night we meet in the Girl &Goat area at around 7 and go pubhopping. Where would be good to meet?

Haymarket is right across the street. [link] So is Holiday [link] which might be less zooy around that time as a meet up spot. Both are good though?

This is the Farmhouse you mean, lisah? [link]

Haymarket looks awesome, and I'm intrigued by Holiday, mostly because their website is a little underwhelming, heh. I'm good with a lower key meetup place though, so Holiday would work to start and hopefully we can check out Haymarket and maybe Publican? Is that a drinking place or more of an eating/drinking place?

That's it, Nora! It was fantastic!

Publican is great, too. And it is definitely an eating/drinking place.

Wheeeeee! Chicago! So excited. Made some reservations, doing research. So excited. Any thoughts on preferred deep dish pizza? Or stuff to do with an 18 year old girl from Ireland?

Any thoughts on preferred deep dish pizza?

I've loved Giordano's every time I've eaten theirs, but Chicago residents may know more closely held secrets of the deep dish.
