Beers in the Chicago Area

[Urban Redneck]

Was wondering if everyone or anyone in the Chicago area was up for a few beers? Wanted to get together and shoot the bull and meet members. Nothing big, just hang. Anyone? Bueller?

Have one for me and I'll have one for you. :D

[Urban Redneck]

Ok, how bout beers and pizza or a BBQ? I'm up for either, just wanted to get some of the Chicago people together. I don't know if Beez will come out to the 'Burbs without breaking out into a rash, but we could even have something in the city if that is the case! :cheers: :party:

[Beezil]

I'm not coming out to the burbs, no fawkin way.


but, I'd like to have you suburban mommies boys out to the city anytime...

I mean come awn....you wanna do beers, go where the beer is!

goose island anyone?

[Urban Redneck]

Works for me...we can scare all the Yuppie Scum when a bunch of XJ's roll into the parking lot.

[Rev Den]

I will come to the city and drink with youse guys anytime.

Rev

[notorious DUG]

I would come out for this, I want to meet some of you monkeys.

FWIW, in the 4+ years I have been around here Beezil has been to the 'burbs TWICE.

One time was for a special event where he could not behave and the other one he got so confused he dressed up like a woman.

All true, I swear. I have pictures ;)

[seanR]

I am up for beer in the city. It has been a long time since I went to the city to drink, 15 of 16 years ago.

[Urban Redneck]

Let's figure out a time that works for everyone, since we have a place nailed down already(Thank you, Beezil). Most weekends are good for me, execpt March 20th, cuz that's when the BB goes in.

[notorious DUG]

I can get there just about any time you guys get it set for. May be on my way home from a work day at the New park in Marsalles but I wil be there!

[Beezil]

I can't wait to see you dumbasses try your hand at paralell parking....

shit, me and mel sit on the front porch on game days, drinking beer, and laughing histerically at all you suburb shitheads that are too cheap to park in the designated lots, re-trying to fit your minivans and highend suvs into spots that the rest of us could fit three cars in....the best is when you noodles get your wives to spot you into the spaces, like you are trying to gate a 737 or some shit.....its always entertaining.....

that's right, bomb the burbs.

Okay....

we could crawl around clark avenue....do a beer or two at a few places...

shit, we could do two meals, breakfast and bloody marys with a pint of guinness at cullens and work from there? have late lunch, wings at yakzees, or a sandwhich at wrigley goose island or bar louie?

[Urban Redneck]

[Roxtar]

Wow, people really live in the city? I thought that was just where Hoosiers worked when they want to get overpaid.

[seanR]

1060 west addison
You can't kid me, that is where Elwood lives and I saw his apartment building get blown up by the psyco chic!

[Rev Den]

Let me know when and where. I put my trust in Beezil of the City.

Rev

[Beezil]

sounds like we have ourselves a sunday.......

[notorious DUG]

so... where are the details?

[Beezil]

so... where are the details?

Okay....

I say we start at Cullens on southport.

bloodys and guinness......

maybe bowl at southport lanes and drink some more....

I could go anywhere, I'm a good tour guide....

early-risers will enjoy awesome coffee at uncommon ground....

I don't sleep past 8am

[Urban Redneck]

Ok, I'll speak for all the people in the Burbs. Where is uncommon ground in relation to Southport Lanes? And is BC gonna be there?

[Beezil]

everything is within walking distance....

city people don't drive much.

park once, drink more.

[notorious DUG]

How about a starting time, a place and maybe even an address for thos eof us from the burbs?

[4ward]

You guys are lame. I live 2 states away and I know where uncommon ground is. Excellent breakfasts btw.

Cut a brother some slack. I treat the City like Beezil treats the 'burbs.

Bad people live there...

[seanR]

Wher is a good place to park for this event? What time should we plan on showing up? Early Sunday AM there should be no trouble with on street parking, right?

[bgcntry72]

Parking for the event?
What the hell are you talking about?
Its just a city, like your backwater burg, only bigger, and with culture.
You people are acting like its Thunderdome, and only a few will make it out alive after dealing with the Master Blaster.
The wyfe and I were going to haul down Sunday morning, but I don't know where the park and ride is, and our tazer is low on batteries.
Dorks.
:sure:

So I shouldn't bring the extra mags for the .45 and a drop piece? :roll:

[Rev Den]

What time at Uncommon Ground?

Rev

HINT: Put radar detector under seat.

[Rev Den]

The .45 is too bulkey for the CPD to overlook, carry a .380 or .32 instead.

Rev
Never go anywhere unarmed

[ChiXJeff]

<chuckle> If a .45 is too bulky, you're carrying the wrong .45. </chuckle> Or you're not bulky enough to hide it!

It was just a question about the parking availibilty, is there a parking lot or on street. Maybe a local could tell me of a parking lot around the corner or something that is not obvious. I am familiar with the area and I know that there are not parking lots next to every establishment like there is in the "backwater burgs" like Durand or Cudahy or Wauwtosa or any other of the mushroom inhanced city names that we find up on the other side of the Cheddar Curtain.

Here is my favoirte Ixonia! What happend, some one spill there Alpha-bits and come up with town names? I'll bring you battries for your Tazer. :twak:

[jjchgo]

you guys sure seem to do alot of drinking... ;)

cheers,

jj

[Beezil]

It's your call, Beez. I leave the city decisions to you. I'll be out getting "cultured" tonight (some musical or play thingy the wife wants to go see). :rolleyes:

[LBEXJ]

Damn ... sounds like you guys are going to have a great time. Wish I could make a trip to the "Big City" without having to maintain "an example" (which some of you fathers might understand) and enjoy. I'm in the middle of a SYE and Drive Shaft install this weekend. Done with the SYE and Drive Shaft today ... tomorrow is adjusting the pinion angle.

I can be reached if ya'll need any "bail money" @ (765) 435-2903 :cheers:

[ChiXJeff]

Hokay, I'm in......

[lesslimited]

Well crap! I go to Puerto Vallarta for one stinking week and you guys go and plan an excellent get-together without me. I did get to use the computer at the Westin for about 15 minutes, but I forgot my NAXJA log-in info and Comcast was messing with their e-mail, so all I could do was read :banghead: . I'm pretty sure my wife will kill me if I go out to drink before she goes to work, so I'll PM my cell # to a couple of ya to call me a little later and I'll meet up with y'all somewhere. I got in some good practice drinking all day down there :cheers:

[Urban Redneck]

I'll be leaving the house round 9:30. Will meet you at UG around 10:30ish and we can decide from there.

[Beezil]

I am awake, so please PM me for details.
