I think the plan is for me to be leaving Madison/Wacker at 5:30pm, so Marty can ride shotgun. Or sidesaddle, his choice. There is still room for three more in the back.
It's going to take more twisting than that...

No twisting involving my car... at least not while I'm driving.

First off, I didn't bring the gift that I picked up for you in SJC to lunch today because I figured it would be easier to hand it over on Tuesday. Of course, the gift was free, but at least it's a start...

What else can we offer??

You can put purplecat down for a definite "maybe". Need to check the work calendar first and Mrs. purplecat secondly, but there's a plausible chance I can be there.

And the people at Hackney's drive me ****ing nuts. I sang in a chorus that would do a couple of post-show parties there annually and we'd fill their basement and main floor with people at 10:30 / 11:00 on a Saturday night. We're hungry and thirsty and they're making us pay cash for drinks and closing the kitchen at midnight and turning the lights up at 12:30 or so. I'm not a big fan of Hackney's for their 'tude.

Marty has to be in Los Angeles on Tuesday so he is going to have to bow out. He truly regrets not being able to join such an august gathering of individuals. He hopes that he will be able to see you in the very near future at another bacchanal.

Is there a time figured out for this yet? I drive by Meier's on the way home every night so I guess it couldn't hurt too much to stop by.

Are we set on 6:30 at HonH, or could we make it 7:00?

Since I'm not driving Marty and therefore don't have to drive him back to the city at the end of the night, 7 is ok with me - I was the one that suggested 6:30.

Anyone else have any time preferences for HonH? I can make 6:30, but it will be a bit tight which is why I'd asked about 7:00. But, I'm flexible.

Okay -- 7:30 at HonH, followed by Meiers (with blort & korea71 meeting us there). Done deal?

7:30 is fine with me.

Now I have to stay late, since our esteemed korea71 has returned to the fold. Next thing we have to do is get him to sneak away and come downtown for lunch.

That 12,500 point pointstretcher award at the Doubletree Glenview next to 294 is sounding better and better. I wonder if the family that bought our house in Wilmette would let me sleep in my old bedroom?
