PLEASE NOTE!!!!
Due to cramped seating arrangements, the restaurant venue is going to change to the sister restaurant which is only a couple blocks away from the original proposed restaurant:
Taqueria 5 De Mayo
2415 W. Montrose Ave,
Chicago, IL 60618

The stars have once again aligned and I will be in Chicago to join the event.
Looking forward to seeing some familiar faces as well as making some new friends.
Put me down as a definite.
In checking out the restaurant, seems it is a cash only place. I edited the wiki as an FYI so hopefully no one gets caught un-aware.
I couldn't find any information on drinks...a key component of my dinner DO experience.
Is this a BYOB place? Can't imagine enjoying the charcoal-grilled steak items without a beer.

Can't make this one, but just in case this is not common knowledge, there is a fenced in parking lot one block west of the Mill at Lawrence and Magnolia that is free parking for Green Mill attendees. It's pretty big, so should be a cinch to park in on a Monday night.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

normally I'm at the Green Mill on weekday nights so never an issue street parking but big thanks for the lot info, I never knew.I verified, the restaurant is BYOB ^
More than likely I'm bringing some Modelo or Bohemia w/some sliced limes.
