Well there you have it. I think PURPLE might be up for that. I'll let you know soon.

Haggis...are you associated with the CBG?

Otis,
I am going to stay with my brother in Hinsdale that weekend. Can I bring him as my date? I promise we will donate a lovely replacement to your cellar!

No prob, rhb357.

Have Love Will Travel - The Sonics

Thanks Otis

The following promotion (a great deal in past years) is available on 8/25 and 8/26:

Dine Out Chicago

Thanks Mark.

It's probably just me, but when I click on the link I can get a list of restaurants but I can't find prices or other details. Is this like the NYC2012 promotion in which meals were available for $20.12 in top restaurants?

The Dine Out Chicago website is dreadful, it's more like an advertisement for Pellegrino than for anything else. But it's the only place which lists the participating restaurants...

Yes, this is like the dining promotions in many other US cities. The Chicago version offers a 3 course lunch for $20 and a 4-5 course dinner for $35, and meals come with a complimentary bottle of Pellegrino sparkling water.

Mark

eYESINtIME: yes...


Ms. Haggis and I can put up one person (or one couple). cdunn13<at>comcast.net

Any update on the Friday night festivites after the game? I'd like to book my flight sometime over the next two weeks and want to make sure I get there in time for the post game festivities.

Dinner Friday night will start about 7-8pm. We are having a difficult time finding a restaurant to accomodate 70-80 people so a location is still undetermined. It will be in Chicago though. We are still working on it.

VM-
I think it makes sense to have the post-game dinner at your house.... don't you?

vm, do any of these places help?

You just have to keep T-bird off Rush Street !!!!

Unfortunately (for me, anyway) I won't be attending, as I just learned last night that my older brother is getting married 8/27. Another time, another cellar diminishment party, I suppose...

Haggis: Cool at CBG. In what capacity are you associated with it? Just curious as I work at the Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Garden in development.

EYES: really?! I'll email you.

kybo-sabe: Sorry you can't make it, compadre. Have a good time at your bro's wedding.

Cheers,

Otis

Girls' Talk - Elvis Costello

Are you burning any metal on that playlist?

Otis,

The version of Girls Talk by Dave Edmonds is much better.

VM

I have started a new thread with dinner information for the Friday evening before Otis' Cellar Diminishment Party. That thread is here.

Please go to that link for info and to reserve a spot.

WIML: Pardon the pun, but my music collection is not heavy on metal. Do these count?

Ball and Chain - Social Distortion
Salvation - Rancid

Maybe a song or two by Mojo Rib can be shuffled into the deck.

VM: I'm sorry, but I like the Elvis version better. It drips far more sarcasm, IMO.

Cheers,

Otis
