Chicago (Loop) Get-Togethers - October 7-9: Lunch on 9th
 

I'll be in Chicago in early October to do some sight-seeing and would love to meet any FTers for lunch and/or dinner. I'll be staying near the Water Tower and won't have a car, but can follow mass transit directions fairly well.

Right now, I have open times for dinner on Sun 10/7, lunch or dinner on Mon 10/8, and lunch on Tue 10/9. Pretty much open to any type of food.

Hope to see as many of you as possible!

Events:

Tuesday, October 9 11:30 a.m. (at The Beer Bistro for $2 Burger Tuesday)

I'm at a client convention in New Orleans during that time, sorry to miss you.:(

That's Canadian Thanksgiving, so I'll be up north for the weekend, but lunch on Tuesday might be fun.

I should be free for an early lunch (say 11:30) downtown on Tuesday, although I have to be out in the suburbs by 3:30.

Um, ok. Have fun.

Sorry, Derek, I mis-read your post. Now corrected.

I should be OK for Tuesday lunch. You might not get too many people for Sunday night, Bears/Packers are at 7:15pm, the city stops for that! :eek:

Tuesdays are $2 burger day at Beer Bistro, yummy! ILuvParis is known to sleep in front of the place all night so he can be first in line when they open. :p

No worries. I just thought you were anti-Canadian. :cool:

Would love to join you, but I'll have a house guest on Sunday and I leave for SEA/PDX Monday morning. Have a good time!

No, he's anti-Thanksgiving. :eek:

Just cleared my calendar - count me in.

I should be able to make it, assuming there is no strangely scheduled NLDS game that afternoon (yes, I know I'm making a big assumption). :)

I'm doing the Marathon on the 7th, but am a definite for the 8th. Beer Bistro is a great establishment and the variety of beers is amazing.

I'm supposed to be out of town that week, but it's marked on my calendar so if something changes & I can make it for Tuesday's lunch I'll let you know. :)

Mrs JJ and I would love to join the crew but I'm off chasing steelhead in BC Canada that week.

too bad I'll miss this by a few weeks

my Chicago trip isn't until October 20-22

would love to hear some ideas though for places to see and food to try

thanks,
--Russ :)
