The Froth of Awesome Comes to Chicago

Post by loulabelle »

As I continue my goal of meeting ALL THE ALFANS, I'm going to be in Chicago from April 25th to April 29th. I'll be with my super friend Jess who is another sci-fi and fantasy writer and guaranteed Likeable. I know some of you live in the city and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in meeting up with us for dinner/drinking one evening while we're there?

Withthedrunkensailor.
pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

Well... I don't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving....

Though apparently you are now competing with Whomandu which sounds pretty legendary.

I hear the food is good but the people are bad.

Wouldn't that be "city-ist"? :chin:

One might even argue that defining "Chicago denizen" as a race is... well, y'know... :P

So I see.

I mean, uh, stop oppressing my people! We're a proud race of political corruption and pervasive mafia influence! We built a city so depressing that film makers saw it and thought "Hey guys, we should shoot batman movies here" -- because who didn't want to see Wacker Drive with exploding trucks instead of homeless people?

I think I'm making your case for you.

Have a pizza. Pizzas are more like meals and less like crackers there.

I will come, but only long enough for a drive by the Home Alone house. There is no way Ill stay any longer than that in a city that makes quiches then calls them pizza.
