I will be there. The dinners are always great. $75 seems very steep to me. I don't have $75 in the account right now, but I'll get it to you ASAP.

 

That $75 covers a steak as big as your head at a top steakhouse, vegetables, appetizers, tax, and tip. Trust me, its worth it. (thumbs u

Will seating just be a floating thing? How is the room set up Donut? Kinda like Baltimore last year?

Giant back room of Gibsons. Tables of 8s, probably (that's what we had the last couple of years). Large open bar area, also the patio for the smokers and the late night drinking crowd. Hopefully this year Gibsons will be hosting a wedding, so we (well, just Zen Master Borock) can ogle hot bridesmaids.

 

Truly a fine time will be had by all. If you're coming to Chicago, come to the dinner.

Dont you have money left over from Heroes lunch :baiting:

 

Na, I was broke. I figured if it came to it, I'd just try and barter some books to pay for it. :blush:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

 

I think he meant to say..

 

Large open "bar area" in the same room to buy our drinks from."

 

But on the upside.. water is free!

 

See you in a few weeks.

Sorry - I meant a large open space bar area. No comma needed there, but I can clearly understand the confusion. Cash bar only :foryou:

 

The bar bill last year was staggering. They showed me what our party had paid for booze last year. Much more than the food. MUCH more.

Everybody should be back from San Diego now and looking forward to Chicago. I need to make menu/reservations with Gibsons by Friday, so I need to know a count ASAP. If you've said you're coming, pay up so I can include you in the count.
