CommunityBuzz! - Lunch at Beer Bistro (West Loop) Tues., Feb. 21, 11:45 a.m.

Teriyaki salmon salad? No! Chicken adobo sandwich? No! Southwest (or is it fajita?) chicken salad? No! Cheeseburgers? Yes!

In celebration of the end of the AA "TEQM promotion," let's have lunch! Last night over a end of the month Sapporo at the Admiral's Club at ORD, Plainsman suggested that I post a get together for the $2 burgers at the Beer Bistro.

Sign up here if you can make it. Tuesday, February 21, 11:45 a.m. at 1061 W. Madison (at Carpenter). (Brand X fliers also welcome.)

I put it on my calendar in case my plans change, but I currently have back to back client meetings scheduled for that day at their respective offices, and I doubt I'll be able to get away for lunch. :(

I should be able to make that - I live about 1/2 mile away so will work at home that day.

I just realized that is Fat Tuesday! I'll be sure to wear my Mardi Gras beads to the bar!

I have nothing planned for that day, so put me and my new EXP status down as a "yes."

You could still get double EQM that day.

I'm a tentative yes.

I'm scheduled in the office all month.

I actually will be earning DEQM that day, doing an ORD-LAX run. I'll think of you all when I'm sitting at the grassy knoll enjoying my In 'N Out! :D

I'm now confirmed as no. I'm going to be on the road that week after all.

Sorry to miss it!

It sounds like a great idea! Please count me in.

It sounds like a great idea!you would say that.

I'm a strong maybe.

I have a meeting at 230 that day, so count me in.

Sad to miss all yous guyzz, but MissKok and I will be having lunch at Resto Ming in Sanur, Bali. :p:p

Tentatively YES - Unless something else comes up!

Cheers!

Like a better offer? ;)

I'm a definite maybe :p

Let's see what work throws at me between now and then.

Hmmm, put me down as a maybe for this one. I've a doctor's appointment at noon and may not be done before 1. But I'll swing by and say hi to everyone if it's not too late.

Dang, yet again I'll be freezing up north and miss this.

Gratuitous bump. :)

You can bump a thread but can't figure out how to put a ticket on hold... :eek:

Yes, I should have known better than to try and fly Brand X. :)

I wasn't supposed to arrive in Chicago until Wednesday, but this might be enough of a reason to alter some plans.

Working on it.....

You can put me (and my no AA status ;)) as a probable.

I'm suppose to leave the 16th so I'll miss this too. :td:

Sounds like a trap:p. I'll bite.:D

Be there unless someone decide to ship me to India.

OK Schedule has been worked out. You can now put me down as a definite "yes".

What could be more compelling than cheap burgers in such "elite" company?

Bummer that I have meetings in the afternoon. I will miss out on the Beer portion of the Beer Bistro.

Sounds like fun - count me in.

you have to make your own Do;)

PS: Driving in from near O Hare. Anyone needs a ride to and from? I'm going to send a PM to you, I have an appointment in the morning (driving in), then going to the lunch, right after the lunch I'll be headed back to my home/office by ORD, so if you'd like to park at the Rosemont L stop or one of the ORD Metra line stations, I can give you a lift from your arrival station in the Loop, then drive you back out to your car.

Deal, thanks. I'll PM you my cell number just in case.

Sorry, something has come up and I have to cancel. Have fun.

Good to see some familiar faces and meet some new friends.

And I have to say, the best $2 hamburger. Well beyond my expectations.

Thanks for setting it up. Hope to see you all again soon.

C'mon, that's not nice. Marty is young at heart!

YUM! It sounds like it was scrumptious and everyone had a good time. I'm so sorry I missed it but my computer completely crashed at 2am the night before and I didn't get it back up and running until about the same time the following night. And I was on a deadline! YIKES! Next time though. I've put this place on my list of places to try, especially since it got such good reviews. Thanks!

Thank you everyone for contributing to a good time, and to ILuvParis, a special thanks for organizing.
