OK, we're 7 days away. What building are we in, are we just on a guest list or do we have actual tickets, what time can we show up, and what do we need to know?

TJ, I'm glad you asked. Let me answer your questions one by one...

1) Brixen Ivy, 1044 W. Waveland

2) There is a guest list. I have everyone's real names, and they will be at the door.

3) 6:35 is when they start letting us in.

4) We're DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!ed.

Excellent. Now, who wants to meet somewhere several blocks from the ballpark for pregame around 5:30?

Do I even have to write, "I'm in," or is that just assumed?

It's assumed.

Guthrie's?
Cullen's?
D'Agostino's?

I would think that Morans would be the place

Aye.

Same-day turn?  NWA.com is showing $139 base for not too crazy late Saturday/early Monday itineraries.  I'm a bit weary to dig up the fare basis, and probably should not have resuscitated this long-dormant hobby.

Looks like the $800 fare is if you want to fly in to and out of the same airport. If you go through NWA and are game to fly in to Midway and out of O'Hare, you can get a ticket for about what Tonks quoted.

On another note, anyone up for some sort of get-together on Saturday night as well, so all the morans who can't make the game can participate in dwarf-tossing Oleg some of the weekend's festivities?

Is it worth $316 to come back to Chicago for the weekend and attend the rooftop game?  Plus whatever getting hammered with all of you Saturday night would run?  I'm kinda thinking yes.

I've got playoffs for a softball league I'd rather not even play in on Sunday, but I can't back out of it, so I won't make the rooftop game.  But I'll be downtown on Saturday, so I'll gladly join you guys on the curb across from whatever establishment you would be attending.

I wonder what Weebs is up to this Sunday.

Do we need to reserve a curb?

Do you think he has some sort of thing he's doing?  Who plays in a Sunday night softball league?  Get your ass to the rooftop you Nancy.  And bring "Bill".

I guess this weekend will officially be Moran-fest.  It'll be like Hawks-fest, but with fewer concussions.   Unless Hawk will be there, in which case, someone just might get concussed.  I have a feeling I may have something going on Saturday night, but I can weasel out of it.  It's not like I'm married.  Just tell where and when and I'm there.

Tipster liked him some of that older (not quite cougar-y) tail mouth, huh?  Bernie's before a Sunday night game may be a bit crowded.  Especially since we're looking at 20 folks or so in our group (35 or so to the game, minus a couple who are too cool to join us beforehand).  I like TJ's suggestion of Guthrie's since they have that back room where we can all meet.  Moran's is a natural choice, but, that'll probably be packed as well.  Keep in mind, the douche factor will be high what with all the red (and not the good commie-red) running around.  Again, I'm up for whatever.
