Chicago area posters wanna chill and have a meet 'n greet?

[tuanis]

That's the plan.

I'll be without a car, so the burbs might be tough for me anyhow.

There's a Metra stop within blocks of the bar, so it's simple to get there without a car. Plus it's pretty close to the city anyway.

Let's make this happen, people.

[A-L-E-K]

this bar has TVs right? i'm not a huge tv in the bar guy but if the cubs are in the world series we need to be covered

 

and I can give you a ride out to the burbs jonger

I'm sure they do but can confirm. Game 1 of the World Series isn't until 10/27, but the NLCS should still be ongoing. 100% agreed.

A bar without a tv, what is this 1950? Sorry I had to

 

Also the 24th would be the scheduled game 6 for the NLCS, so there will be a game that night.

Is that the new chic hipster thing in bars? Maybe I am just used to suburb bars where they have TVs every 5 feet.

no, it's pretty typical, especially older places.

 

the sports bars is a relatively new concept, some people go to bars to socialize, not stare a screen

[Chambana]

Haven't been around long enough to be part of the crew yet, but maybe for the next meet and greet! Would love to drink some beers and catch a game with y'all. Been around since GHD blizzard 1, just never posted much.

just makes a bunch of posts of the next couple weeks

I might be able to make the drive (4 hours) on the 24th if a few others are going to be there. Will be a last-minute call.

[Chicago WX]

I'd love to make it, but my work schedule is a bit daunting right now. Regardless, I'd still like to see the time and place...

[A-L-E-K]

Yeah, we need more firm commits. I'm in for sure on the 24th, totally game for lansing or wherever. Either way, Jonger and I are going to be hanging. Let's get a few more on board and set a time.

[Gilbertfly]

I'm in for the 24th...what time is the game scheduled for? Or will that depend on who the Cubs end up playing...obviously a game 6 may not even be needed...but prolly good to plan around that a little bit if possible one way or another

Games three and four will be held at Wrigley (and possibly a game five if necessary), and one online ticket broker is putting the average ticket price at $1,300.

 

It's a road game on the 24th... If necessary

Something like $500 for standing room tickets, insane.

[sokolow]

I picture sokolow sitting in the corner like "the most interesting man in the world"

If it's late enough on the 24th there's a light chance I might be able to make it, otherwise I'm out.

From 4 to 7 there is a slight chance of Joe

From 7 to 10 there is a chance of Joe

From 10 to 10:15 Joe is likely

From 10:15 to 2am there is a chance of Joe

From 2:00 to 4:00 am there is a slight chance of Joe

[Stebo]

Maybe we should figure out a time for Saturday. Seems like the evening is pretty good for most and better for others who are on the fence.

yeah, evening into the late night is best for me, but i'll make whatever work

[Stebo]

Just to note game 6 of the NLCS will be at 3:30 so the bar might be clearing out nicely afterwards.

[A-L-E-K]

cubs will have it wrapped up before game 6
