    And yes, parking even for two hours in a public lot is 8 bucks or more... Good luck and happy hunting if you try to find street parking at 25 cents per 10 minutes with a 2 hour limit

      Thanks guys... it was a blast to see an old friend again, and meet new ones. I only wish I could have stayed longer, because it looked like the fun was only going to continue.

          yes thanks everyone...

          I had a blast

          Ming is hilarious

          and some great "off the record" comments BTW

          I am definitely up for future Chicago Poly meets

          AND YES, I think everyone who was there agrees that after meeting me in person I'm not a complete psycho!

            Yep... sure surprised me

            The White Sox and Boston are tied at 2 in the 5th... I hope you are now watching the game.

            Again, thanks to all... it was fun. And my client presentation went well

              yeah... I'm getting sick of the Eastcoast Sports Propaganda Network though... I don't know how much of their broadcasters I can take


              Ortiz just had a loud third out with 2 men on... you can just tell they want Boston to win so bad...

              makes me sick

                And it's even worse for the Yankee series

                Besides their traditional east coast biases... from a money standpoint, they really do want a Boston/Yankee rematch. They feel that will deliver the strongest ratings.

                The best revenge would be a California/Chicago series...
                The ratings would be far weaker

                Plus, with no East Coast team... they wouldn't know who to cheer for

                  ugh... I haven't been able to bring myself to watch any of those games.

                  I am rooting for the Angels...

                  although I still think the Yankees are the weaker team... it might be better if the White Sox face them instead of the Angels...

                  the ChiSox have not done well against west coast teams the last few years...

                    We have a similar problem over here with Sky, who will (I presume) instruct their commentators to "support" whichever team they deem to have the most fans viewing, rather than delivering impartial commentary. It sucks. A lot.

                        sounds like a fun time, I haven't been to the Berghoff in ages.

                        Why the heck am I banished to Southern Indiana anyway.

                        Did you Chicagoans know its actually legal to marry your cousin down here

                          According to Chicagoans, Hoosiers marry their cousins and sisters all the time.

                          I can say this b/c I'm not a $%^(@#$^ hoosier

                            doesn't surprise me...

                            and it explains a lot!

                              It's too bad a few more people couldn't make it... We will have to do another one in the future.

                              Maybe we can do one at my place in the Burbs some Friday night.
