I don't know if Aviary (or The Office) is possible, but an alternative would be The Violet Hour [link] .

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Any thoughts on preferred deep dish pizza?
I like Lou Malnati's. Gino's East gave me food poisoning.
I couldn't do Friday, but I could do Saturday late afternoon or evening. Would love to see y'all!

Our wings are not tired.
We ordered from Gino's East when we visited in March. We were very disappointed. I threw mine out. I blamed it on the holiday weekend, but really that is no excuse for the pie being tasteless.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I really liked Gino's East, both the thin crust and the deep dish. And the atmosphere.

The status is NOT quo.
Since you peeps are talking Chicago...would any of you who have met my friend Cricket be willing to put her up for one night? She's in Chicago doing the sound design for an I Love Lucy show at the Broadway Playhouse over the next two weeks. She's got a hotel for this time all set, but when she went to book a room for her dad for one night so he can see a preview of her show, the entire city is apparently sold out. The cheapest room she could find him is $400+. Anyway, I suggested that maybe she could give him her hotel room for that night if I could find her a place to crash. Email me if you'd be willing. Thanks!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Aw, if I were in Chicago I'd totally put her up! She's totes awesome.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What night? I could probably manage that if she doesn't mind cats and making her way to the north side.

Doesn't Rick Bayliss have a couple of restaurants in Chicago?

Yes, and definitely worth checking out. Xoco would be my recommendation - casual, street food focus. (The others are awesome too but more spendy or formal. Frontera Grill is the classic, and Topolobampo the upscale cousin.
Xoco's also good to stop by for a churro and hot chocolate if you can't fit in dinner. [link]

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Xoco rocks! I still have my spoon from when Brenda and I ate there.
