Chicagoland GTG

Wine O Mite

Greetings Chicago ladies (or NW Indiana if there are any of you around),

I've decided that Sunday November 11th for Brunch (so around 11ish?) might work best.

The Bears play at night (and the Browns are on a bye week, which is good for me), so your husbands can watch the kids during the day.

I haven't picked a restaurant yet, but I have a couple in mind.  I'll try my best to find a place that has decent parking and I'm thinking Lincoln Square/Ravenswood area.  

Let me know if you are even remotely interested.  Even if you are just a maybe.  I just want to see if we have 5 people or if we have 15.  It will help when deciding on the specific restaurant.

Thanks. 

ETA:  

Yes:  Wine O Mite, Andreagb, Scout2005, MrsWindyCity, Numeria, Quidditch

Maybe:  IrishCoffee, Mamatoa2010, RedWingsFan, Eva116

No:  I Heart the 80s 

Who else?  I know there were more of you, but I'm lazy and don't want to go back through the posts.

Me!

Dammit!  Sorry I knew I was forgetting someone important!

I Heart The 80s:

I'm way out in the burbs, but would normally make an effort to come. However, I am taking DD to a play that day. Maybe another time, because it sounds fun.

 

Oh boo.  Well we are going to try to maybe have another one as well.  I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

Simple enough..

Thanks

MrsWindyCity

I'm in!

MamatoA2010

I live in the burbs. Count me in as a "maybe"

Wine O Mite

I'm going to continue updating my OP to reflect who is in, out, maybe.

RedWingsFan

Hmmm, that might work for me.  I know we are in town and I don't think we have anything that would prevent H from watching the kids for a few hours.  

Wine O Mite

I think this works out for now.  Let's just leave it at this date and we'll discuss in a couple of weeks to make sure it still works for everyone.

EVA116

I am a maybe.

Assuming either my DH or my sister can watch J or I can find a babysitter- I'm in. I am on call though, which means I have to stay within 30 minutes of the hospital.

Isn't your hospital downtown?

It's at Polk and Paulina.  Closest L stop is Polk Pink line (although I take the blue line to Illinois Medical District).  I am sure that would be within 30 minutes but I just want to make sure since I have to be dressed and bedside at 30 minutes from the page.

How about if you get called we take up a collection for your cab fare.

 

I was literally just going to say that!

Whatchathink Quidditch? 

quidditchcapn1120

Oh, I meant within 30 minutes car ride anyway.  So if I can get there in 30 minutes by cab that 100% works.  I wouldn't be able to go though if we decided to hold it in the suburbs.

Wine O Mite

If we do Lincoln Square or Logan Square, we will already be far enough West.  So that will mean that you can just shoot straight down Ashland.

30 minutes will be no problem.

I live in Logan Square so I know I can get there in plenty of time from that area. I'm so excited! Can't wait to meet y'all!

So are you a YES or a MAYBE?

I like to stay organized. 

quidditchcapn1120

Let's go with yes. If I have to I'll hire a babysitter.

Wine O Mite

With 6 yes, I think this date is a go.

I will be researching some restaurants and I'll get back to you ladies!

I'm excited!

God I miss booze already.  If there is a god he's an assshole.

 

LOL.  No that's how you know he's a man.  Men can drink while their wives are pregnant so clearly this crap was designed by a guy.

I will be eatting much sushi and drinking much booze this next few weeks until we actually start trying.

Wine O Mite

I'l eat enough sushi for you Irish
