There was some talk about planning another meetup, but nothing was planned. I’m impatient (and have lots of free time on my hands), so I thought I’d go ahead and plan it! Plus, Katie from Colorado is now a Chicagoan (yay!), so a meetup is more necessary than ever. It’s “necessarier,” if you will.
I conferred with several of you and have concluded that SATURDAY, MAY 19th is a winner (for the majority of you). If you can’t come this day, I’m really sorry – but plan another one and I am there with bells on!
So here are the details for our third Chicago meetup:
When: Saturday, May 19th, from 2:00 pm until forever (or until the bar closes)
Where: The Crossing in Southport, http://www.crossingtavern.com/
Why: To day drink on a patio, a favorite Chicago pastime
Goal: To get drunk and spill all our secrets – or just have a good time, whateverDisclaimer: I’d like to point out that The Crossing is MaterialsGirl’s idea. Why am I “throwing her under the bus,” so to speak? Well, because after we agreed on this beer garden in the adorable Southport neighborhood-within-a-neighborhood, I learned it’s a University of Kansas bar (gag me – Mizzou rules all), so I want no credit for it. Unless of course it turns out to be the coolest beer garden ever, in which case it was my idea…but Mizzou still rules all. That’s all, carry on.
P.S. Can’t wait to meet you Katie and to see other new and old DW friends!
April 26, 2012 at 9:31 am #22741P.P.S. It disgusts me that even The Crossing’s website is in KU blue. This just shows what a big person I am; I can put my personal differences aside and actually step foot in a KU bar for the sake of Dear Wendy. I’m a martyr.
April 26, 2012 at 9:32 am #22742But MaterialsGirl is buying all my drinks because I’m not sure I’m ready to spend my hard-earned trust fund on anything Kansas. (Ha, I don’t have a trust fund – I just thought “hard-earned trust fund” sounded funny.)
April 26, 2012 at 9:35 am #22744Helloooo, I posted this 15 minutes ago and I’m the only one I’ve heard from. (See how impatient I am?)
April 26, 2012 at 9:36 am #22745haha. I leave for five minutes and I come back to this!?
just kidding, AP.I’ll be there toward the evening, so hopefully you’re sloppy drunk and cheap! then I can just buy you wings.
April 26, 2012 at 9:51 am #22750UPDATE – I’m moving the time back a couple of hours because a couple people have some conflict with the 2 pm start time. So we’re day drinking starting at 4 PM! But of course come when you can! And this time it’s set in stone.
When: Saturday, May 19th, at 4:00 pm
Where: The Crossing in Southport, http://www.crossingtavern.com/Sorry, hopefully this won’t confuse anyone.
MAY 19 AT 4 PM
MAY 19 AT 4 PM

April 26, 2012 at 10:50 am #22773Can you Skype me in??
April 26, 2012 at 10:54 am #22774Aw… I want to come!
I think I might be in Chicago in mid-July for my bestie’s 40th. Maybe there can be another meetup then?
April 26, 2012 at 11:05 am #22779Absolutely! We should have a picnic!
April 26, 2012 at 11:12 am #22783Dear Wendy pool party on my roof in July!!
April 26, 2012 at 11:15 am #22784i’ll bring whiskey slush and jello shots
April 26, 2012 at 11:53 am #22811I’ll be there May 19th! At 4:00 p.m. Yay!
And we should totally have party when Wendy is in town. Pool party, picnic, whatever . . . it will be awesome.
April 26, 2012 at 11:54 am #22812MG, aka MaterialsGirl but I want to call you MG -
Excited to meet you since you weren’t at Lady Gregory’s and I missed the time before that.
April 26, 2012 at 12:04 pm #22815Yeah! That would be great
All drinks will be served in pineapples with little umbrellas.
April 26, 2012 at 4:26 pm #22873I noticed no wonderful WI people were invited, but I’m going to go ahead and invite myself since I’m really just that awesome. I might be able to make it depending on how our move goes.
