I believe there will be alcohol involved.

Spiff, what time? perhaps I could treat you to bloody marys with my substantial Keeneland winnings!

If anyone's up for drinking in Lincoln Park (most bars are, coincidentally, covered under iDine), we need to hit the Weiner Circle for late night food (>1am). I'll even start the planning for a bar crawl one night if people are interested on a weekend.</font>

I'm personally excited, because I'm hoping that the crawl stays out past 3am. The late night hot dog stand is a hangover preventative (The Weiner Circle) is like Ed Debevic's, but for the drunken Jerry Springer crowd. It's free entertainment. Lots of swearing. 
But most importantly, I want to lead such a bar crawl that it warrants a suspension from this board.

No can do the "late nite",,,,altho Wiener Circle probably has my name inscribed on a table somewhere from "oh so many years ago"!
OTOH: if the crew decides to make this a "post-work" party, or at least starts a post work party downtown/Lincoln Park/etc. I'd be in.....
Looking forward to that "first drink" there, Senor Goat!!!
Best wishes.

Friday the 20th is a definite possibility....Kinda depends on the "status" of my Xmas shopping efforts!!!
Either the A/C or Gamekeepers would work fine.
Best wishes.

Oh, well, so much for that idea. Ended up having my flight into ORD cancelled, catching the next plane and then watching the hotel shuttle leave 2 mins early and having to wait for the next one. Blah! Needing some food by then, I wouldn't have had much time anyhow after all.
