I will try to be there. But I must leave by 1:00pm as that is the kickoff of the Sun Bowl (Northwestern beating UCLA to a pulp!)
Parking: I am intimately familiar with that neighborhood. You can find parking on the streets nearby. The north-south streets, in general, do not have meters and the east-west streets do. But they are only 25 cents per hour. I suggest looking on Washington St. between Morgan and Halsted, and on the adjacent north-south streets.
You know what the valet at Flattop does? Pulls your car to a meter and pops in a quarter!

I will be there, but I have to leave between 1 and 2:30 to attend a work lunch announced this morning. I'm sure that there will be some of you still there at 2:30 when I get back.

Great to see everyone who was ablet to make lunch today -- a great way to end 2005 for our lunch group
The only other thing I can say about today's lunch is that some people should never be allowed to have Silly String...
