Wish I could go to that. Saw them last fall at Bottom, they ruled obv.

Emanuel gives Conan a citizenship test: "Why did Al Capone come from New York to Chicago?" "To study improv."

[M. Piedlourde]

Made it home from Scofflaw without a scratch. A small but notable victory.

[Potential Boarder]

oh man that triumph segment was fantastic.

[wuk]

damnit that triumph thing just hit the spot right now. thought i wouldn't like it because weiner's circle skits are pretty much cliche by now but YES

[M. Piedlourde]

robert smigel is a national treasure.

I just requested July 6th and 7th off of work for no good reason.

Somebody in Chicago should party with me that weekend.

[RAMBLIN MAN]

come to my hood Nova.

[RAMBLIN MAN]

Let's say I take my out-of-town siblings to Scofflaw tonight. I haven't eaten there yet. Recommendations? (I definitely won't be hungry enough for that off-menu sandwich, though I can't speak for them.)

i almost went this weekend just to eat their fries

you should probably get those

tried the fries at Scofflaw Saturday night, they were ridiculously good.

[Nova]

If I'm remembering the name correctly, sleigh had me go to Scofflaw with him once before and I loved the bartenders there
I think when I come for the weekend in July I want to start there and then drunkenly make my way to some place where I can dance with strangers

[mikey]

hey chicago boarders, would any of you be willing to put me up for a night?

[dragon jeans]

Man, now that Monroe is open again in front of my office, I keep having to check myself before stupidly ambling into traffic.

[This Guy]

Since I live within 2 hours of Chicago I am making my first trip there next week for a few days. Pretty excited.

[mothballs]

i am visiting chicago on wednesday for five days. what are the best places to go for beer, both bars and a bottle shop? also, recommendations for good, relatively cheap restaurants and coffee shops would be great.

[mattstan]

Where you staying?

[sleigh]

chicago reader just did their annual best-of, that's probably the best place to poke around and see if anything catches your interest

[M. Piedlourde]

i feel like i'm a au cheval a couple times a week now. i often get my shift drink/meal there when i'm through at maudes, since it's part of gilt group.

i suppose map room, hopleaf, fountainhead, and maria's (as a bottle shop) would be the old reliable standby recommendations, but none of these excite me in the way they used to. danny's in logan square has a decent bottle selection. lush used to have a nice cantillon selection but not so much anymore. northdown has a lot of rotational three floyds draft stuff depending on when you're there, but i never feel blown away by any one beer bar in chicago.

[mattstan]

Hopleaf if you're up that way.

edit: didn't see PB already mentioned it.

[Weasel]

should i move to chicago next year?

[Phineas Gage]

gonna fly the texas coop already weasel?

i really want to visit. i would come dance with you nova if you weren't doing it on my birthday (!)

[Weasel]

Just trying to figure out the next step, dude.
