Chicago Conference Day 1

I believe we are still alive. I do not think any one has been mortally wounded. There was no sodomizing. At least that I saw. I cannot vouch for what happened after we left Peep and Miso at the Old Town Ale House. There was some blog lovin going on to be certain. We definitely got drunk.

I was peeled from the comfort of my bed on the orders of the Czar to put up today's post or they will not bring me food. Yes, I have once again missed lunch during the lunch conference. It is fitting then that my hypothesis yesterday was that this isn't a lunch blog but a drinking and hangover blog. [Suck it, Jo!]

What did our beloved lunch brethern that were not with us in Chicago do last night? I bet you didn't have as much fun as we did. How bad are your hangovers lovies? When are we getting our "Look at my crotch!" tattoos? How did Peep get naked pictures of Miso on his phone if they had just walked in the door when I called them from the California Clipper? Why the fuck did Rico just leave without saying goodbye? What else happened last night? And what should The Czar, Madame Presidente, Spam Kitty and LizTurtle bring me from the Bongo Room? But most important of all, WFL?

Uni and Mr. Uni arrive in less than 8 hours. Countdown to the Franzia shuffle.

I wish I had gone to Chitown too. Hurricane Ernesto is turning DC into stormville. 8 inches of rain? Where's Noah?

I had a Wendy's Big Bacon classic at lunch. I came out to my car and found a $25 ticket on it, so decided to go get something really greazzy and enjoy myself. It was nice!

I had to work today, so I passed on the Old Town. (Sorry if I left abruptly. Was the car even stopped when I got out. I really don't know.)

Of course, I'm getting next to nothing done today.

For lunch, I had a huge baked potato with sc, cheddar, bacon and chives from some place I'd never been before. That's because the rest of the conference attendees (save jada) ditched me downtown and went to the bongo room, which I recommended and was really looking forward to. Oh well, they can make it up to me by reporting a good experience.

i wish i could be in chicago...
i did drink enough that i may have been last night... but i'll leave that to you to let me know. Alas...
lunch today was tortilla chips and salsa and some home brew blueberry ale (quite delicious).
well all, enjoy the conference and have some lunch in my honor (or lack of, your choice)

The Doctor said...

M!!!!!

I've made a few batches of blueberry ale myself. (In fact, I call mine "M Go Blueberry," but that has nothing to do with you.

awww, sad dipso. ;-(

well, as you asked, i will report about the deliciousness of the bongo room. tasty tasty goodness. i had a breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs, cheese, guac, and topped with cheese, sour cream and salsa. all this accompanied by home fries. top this with a side of sausage (in patty form, which is the best and avoids snappy skin) alongside a nice bloody mary, coffee, and good ole water to help hydrate.

now we're chillin' on jada's couch watching bad television. awesomeness. wish you were here.

Unknown said...

confusing...was signed on as jada and therefore had to delete shit. dammit! maybe i'm still drunk...

The Doctor said...

Me too.

And I always get the breakfast burrito.

:(


You guys really should have gone on Saturday or Sunday...they expand the menu for brunch and really pump out some amazing stuff...tsk tsk.

Jada said...

The crew brought me lemon ricota pancakes with pistachio nut butter, hashbrowns and bacon. It was delicious and now I am fully carb loaded and feeling better. Nut butter always works magic.

I'm not sure what we are doing now that my bathrooms have been destroyed, but I want to get out and do something. I think we will lay around, watch TV and drink coffee.

We have also collectively decided here that M needs to change his avatar. Feet and lunch are not good bed fellows.

Last night, I had a happy hour to bid farewell to a co-worker and then stopped by a bar on the way home to watch Northwestern beat Miami of Ohio. Yay! And also a little sad . . . But, yeah, I got slightly tipsy last night.
Today for lunch was some rather pathetic cafeteria pizza.
And, now, a special message for HT--I'm gonna check on Mr. Dirty Mitts tomorrow morning and Sunday evening. So, if you happen to stumble across any Garrett's caramel corn, could you snag me some?
Totally wish I was in Chicago, too, instead of here in DC, hanging with my good friend Tropical Storm Ernesto.

Unknown said...

dippy, you should've just taken today off like we all did. silly man, you knew the conference was this weekend for how long?

i woke up from the most amazing nap ever. now the czar, LT, and i are waiting for jada and HT to bring a pizza and some salad. yum-a-licious. nothing like waking up from a nap to the presence of food.

Unknown said...

Molly - will do. I'm going to text you though, to find out if you want only caramel or caramel mixed w/ cheese. Also, did you get my text re Jon Stewart, this morning?

Brunch was good. Jada got my leftovers, which didn't end up being leftovers at all, since they accidentally threw mine away (I ate, probably three bites, and was stuffed), so they made new ones. Yum.

Unknown said...

Oops... this isn't Spam Kitty... this is HT...

Unknown said...

drunk drunk drunk drunk...all at jada's and having a grand ole time. we'll have pics to prove it. it's all too good. you guys who aren't here WISH you could be here.
