Cool, sounds fun. We should wear name tags with our 'Outsports' names...

:-)

Great idea!

Got your invite. Wish I could make it/lived closer. frown

It's on my schedule! FYI, Crew has excellent food but if people want something different close by, there's a sushi place a block south (Agami) that's pretty darn yummy.

Also, right next door to Crew is a great/famous jazz place, the Green Mill. Al Capone either used to hang out there or have an ownership stake, or both. Looks like they'll have a flamenco/swing kind of group until 1:00 a.m. followed by more traditional jazz until 3.

Crew is also centrally located to all the other bars on the North Side - Boystown and Andersonville are both short cab/bus rides away.

See y'all there!

Crew is an awesome sports bar!! Food is average bar food <**see T's on Clark street for the best Gay bar food in Chicago**>

The Sushi place is very good, but also very expensive!

Any cool events later on in the week, I arrive Fri 7/21....would have liked to make this party though, oh well.

I hate the fact that I'm stuck in Pittsburgh, miles away from almost all of the O/Sers. Is there a way we could ever have a convention or a meetup closer to where I live, like in Cleveland, Detroit, or Columbus? Let me know....

Too bad I'm out of Illinois for the summer. Have fun guys and gals!

I would put Crew's food against T's any day. Better burger, wings, fries, salads sides etc. I hope everyone comes out on Wednesday. If you are nice, I'll show you Capone's tunnels in the building.

Last minute email checking and I got your invite! Looking forward to it. (And I can't believe I have to get up to go to the airport in 3.5 hrs.) Must sleep on plane...

Of course you would, you are required too! wink wink

I don't dislike CREW food, it's not bad. But T's menu is MUCH more interesting, cheaper, better burgers (and only $5 on weekends) and they change there menu a few times a year.

Now, if CREW were ever to get rid of that asiago cheese they love so much, I'd be there more often.

GO TO CREW THOUGH, even if it's not for the food.

I will be Chicago playing volleyball and running track (HAHA!!! I was hoping I was retired). Hopefully I can make it to this gathering. It's on my schedule at least.

I definitely hope everyone comes out for the party. We are looking forward to it.

Just a reminder that this party is on Wednesday! Track Jim or me down and we'll buy you a cocktail.

We hope to see you all there!

Hey Cyd,

Where are the pix?

My buddies and I had a great time at the party - thanks for putting it together guys! Seeing Cyd and the buffalo wings inspired us to try the Mexican place next door - it was more Market Street than Mission Street but certainly hit the spot after all the beers and boys at the bar.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the party. We had a great time and it was fun to see everyone. Please stop by the next time you are in Chicago.
