I am guessing there will be many "maybe's". All good though. We'll be maxin' and relaxin', loungin' and scroungin', drinkin' and mixin'.
Shuckin' and jivin'?
hell yeah
Add two more maybes to the list.
Putting us on the spot, eh? Nice. I missed the last Danny's get-together, but I'm going to try to make it tonight.
Yes. At some point in time, drinkin' is in order.
Well, we wanted to be able to warn Danny's if there's going to be 50 more people showing up tonight than normal, so they can bring in reinforcements if necessary.
It probably goes without saying that Cinnamon and I will be present.
I was plannin' on doing some drinkin' anyways. Might as well be at Danny's.
I enjoyed the last one, and was wanting to stop by this time. Some friends are in from out of town that I have to hang out with, but I was hoping I could bring them along for a round or two.
Put me down as a 'tentative'.
I'm down.
Or rather, I intend to be there just as much as I did at the last event, at which I didn't actually show :(
Us two is coming, but wont stay long if the place is filled with partially osmoided, regurgitated polymorphic chemically imbalanced tobacco fumerola, wheezed from the tail-pipes of soul vehicles.
maybe, depends on if i'm not too tired from rockin' it out folk-style at schubas tonite! might bring some friends as well.
Shylo and I will probably drop by. We'll be wearing trendy sunglasses and will laugh a little too hard at all of your jokes.
Well put me down for "no." I'll be drunk as a skunk and in the gutter by six-o-clock with no capacity to direct my own bowel movements much less my physical direction.
Have a great time though!
I'll be there, but can we try to keep things under control this time? It's really irritating when Gapers Block staff members get drunk, loud and boorish (I'll spare names so no one is embarrassed).
I'm shy. And I also feel like I'd be crashing a party, seeing as how I've only been a Chicagoan for just over a year and a gaper for just about a year.
Not at all, Armaghetto. You're always welcome.
Come one, come all!
If anyone's still reading this, I'll be there. Suz, you going to see Mindy Smith? You'll have to tell me all about it.
Your Gaper's Block get-togethers
have been a blast. Sometimes the
diversity of the city can get me
down, so its always a breath of
fresh air to be able to get away
from it all. Different cultures
are cool and everything, but sometimes
it's nice to just be around a
bunch of people who look and act
pretty much the same. Thanks again!
Ha!
Um... I think she was calling you vanilla, guys. You gonna take that? FITE!
Anonymous poster, frustrated with the apparent lack of "color" posts snarky comment: How very noble.
Dearest Lilly, should you have any desire to contribute something constructive - perhaps an article that addresses the technology divide, issues facing minorities who lack the schools and infrastructure necessary to participate in forums like this one, etc. I'm sure you'd be more than welcome here.
