Chicago: More Bars in More Places

ok do i go to this gallery thing or what

god i'm fucking bored

ben is sick, max is a baseball fan, and i'm sort of lazy

rw, can i interest you in a beverage at tuman's perhaps?

considering most of my books are probably going to be sold for as much as the records i've sold, myopic gives a MUCH better return. i'm still pretty goddamn sad to have sold some books though.

hay if u guys meet closer to 6 crnrs i might meet up w you for a beer

I think I am off. have a good night everyone!

6 corners or the crotch? 6 corners is cicero, irving park and milwaukee.

i'm walking to tuman's in 5 minutes so i'll be there in 10.

oops i got drunk? and am listening to reigning sound?

*sigh*

i don't think i want to go all the way down to tuman's

"all the way"

rw, i'm heading to the bar now, corner of chicago and leavitt.

WHERE TO

* SHOT REPAIR FOR CAR TIRE
* LAUNDROMAT WIF INTERNETS
* GIRLFRIEND LOL

there's a 75% chance a reasonably attractive and unattached woman will be joining me. several ilxors have met her (at least the ones at my birthday thursday and laurel). come on out, i owe you a beam anyway.

xpost- ok, your loss.

You guys I keep forgetting that I can watch movies on demand on netflix.com right on the computer!! I was bummed cos I didn't have anything I wanted to see tonight...I should be at jw's birthday drinx but I'm tired and the bar is chi-chi and I am poor. Oh guilt.

We just watched the movie version of the Tracey Letts play "Bug" and it is GOOD and CREEPY. Not like in a horror movie way, just more like in a disturbing way. Recommended.

no, nick, we are talking about loser friday nights.

wait.

I kind of want to come out but we ate homemade pizza and are watching movies.

LOSER FRIDAY NIGHTS

1) looks that way
2) because you are..........old?

SNAPZ

Seymour M. Harsh

It's not like I don't like art.

Riiiiight. We'll discuss this via email.

Oh hai. I passed the bar.

AWESOME.

I KNOW, RIGHT????

Whoa! GOOD JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG CONGRATULATIONS JENNY WE SHOULD ALL GET DRUNK IMMEDIATELY IN CELEBRATION!!!!

YAAAAAAAY!

Okay! I'm going to drink some coffee first, but then? Then I will drink beer.

that seems fine, but might I suggest...Irish coffee?

The Cubs are uniting the North Side. A fag at the little grocery store was talking to me and the cashier about them, he said "Not that I care, but are the Cubs still in the playoffs?" I told him yes and gave a brief status report. He asked a couple questions and finished up with "...not that I care or anything."

*Gag*

Eric, you were completely right to be dubious about a 12 year old rose`. I tried to sip it because you can almost taste that it was pretty nice before it turned vile. The funny thing is that the reason I took a chance and bought it was that it still looked nice and bright in the bottle. But in the glass it looks like a tawny port or something. Oh well, I took a low-dollar gamble and lost.

Though I could go for a glass of wine right now....

You're so drunk.

I amn't, actually!

Jesse, if you've ever got a Zipcar, you should go to the Wine Discount Center on Elston north of North.

I had this tasty one (above) last night, made from the Garganega grape.

I just bought my ticket for MUSIC BoX MASSACRE.

I'm not drunk.

You didn't see how I ate before coming over to your place.

OHOH! That reminds me, Courtney and I went to English on LaSalle St near the Anti-Cruelty Society. Their menu is deeee-rightful! They have about a half dozen kinds of sliders for $2-$3.50 (for the very decent filet mignon slider). My favorite was the pulled pork slider with some kind of tasty red cabbage on it.

I had a PIMM'S CUP! (An English drink that is a local speciality in New Orleans). And it was only $4, which is cheap for a cocktail at a nice place, and really, really cheap when you consider that it has Tanqueray's super-premium Ranguefjkre;raklsdf gin in it. Other yum in it was Pimms liquer, soda, mint, and cucumber, garnished with strawberry.

Tempting things from the menu were

English Crisps waffle fries topped with smoked cheddar, braised shredded pork, scallions, red cabbage and sour cream

Fried Egg BLT two eggs over easy with applewood smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato and served on grilled sourdough

Earl Grey Tea Encrusted Center Cut Filet served with a black currant demi glaze

Forest Mushroom Bisque with goat cheese and chives

Oh shit. When is the massacre??? I don't want this to conflict with courtney's halloween party!

(heyJENNYcongrats!!)

Fried egg BLT sounds yum.

Thanks, Eric! I'm super happy!

RE conflict: It's not going to! Courtney is 110% committed to the MBM so she would not agree to a party w/out checking the date. The MBM is 10/13.

Court's party should be on the weekend before the 31st.

OK. things are fine. Oct. 13.

I am not drunk ,but the sleeping pill jenny gave me is Kicking in.

My cab driver made me madgry.
