But will Dakster be there?

who care about chicago, moveit down to los angeles

You all say hi to Abe Froman the Sausage King for me, mmmmkay ?

rough, scheduling it the same night as tucker max's party. decisions, decisions.

Aah... as a Seattle girl who has been to Jak's many a time, I wish I could fly in...

Sure wish I could be there. Unfortunately I won't be home for another week yet. :[

There's been a request for a quick headcount - if there is a greater than 50% chance that you're going to hit Jak's, respond with an "Abe Froman."

I have one Abe Froman, and another Abe Froman for Mr. Mandrax.

Dammit, I'd be there if I weren't planning on getting plowed in DeKalb tonight...

Son of a biatch! Of all the nights to have a fark party in Chicago. I've got some dumbass secret-Santa thing that I have to go to.

How often do Chicago Fark parties happen?

kippson: your secret santa wants you to go to this party instead.

too bad that i just got my wisdom teeth out, otherwise i'd go. the combination of vicodin, alcohol, and chipmunk cheeks sounds pretty deadly.

Forget about Jaks Tap, I'll be at The Village Tap, the much cooler sister bar.

I'd be there in a heartbeat if one of you guys would be so kind as to fly me up from Houston. :-(

/former Chicagoan in exile

damn, dinner plans made last week, going to miss it.

Any northsiders want to set up another Fark party soon?

Abe Frontman

But first, margaritas @ Sears Tower.

You're thinking about going to a party thrown by a "writer" who can't write a story if it doesn't involve booze or himself? Just bring the guy over to the Tap and we'll give him some "stories" to write....

muahahahaha *tents fingers*

modified: Have a St. A's for me.

Someone from Seattle frequents this Jak's place, yet I've never heard of it.. hmmm. Bah.. its west loop. I moved out of that area (Presidential Towers) cuz nothing was going on there except for the once a year block party and a couple decent restaurants on Randolph. Village Tap is a nice place though.. and a heck of a lot more convenient too.

/dyslexic on Fridays

A FARK party in Chicago and it isn't at Sheffield's, the land of a hundred beers? Tsk.

Space Dog: It's not the West Loop that s*cks, it's Presidential Towers.

Lets change it to the Village Tap!

There is a $25 all you can drink at McGees from 8-11 tonight

Nightsweat: What, there's not one beer in 40 you're willing to drink?

Just moved to Chicago, would love to make it. It would be the one day I left my camera at my hotel and didn't take it into work with me. Ahh well, I need a shower and a shave first anyway...

So are these fark parties worth going to or are they usually like I would expect them to be?

I'll be there. What time is everyone thinking of showing up? I work in the Loop, so I'm just gonna hang around here before hopping the train.

Abe Froeman, after I see Blade 3, if I'm not too tired.

And oh, yeah, Abe Foreman.

otakgurrl: Not entirely sure....I think people are generally showing up between 6 and 8? Anyone else care to chime in?

For the uninitiated, Jak's Tap is in the West Loop somewhere, so don't confuse it with the much cooler Jake's on Clark street http://www.barsonline.com/chicago/jakespub/
, or the yuppie joint, Jack's Bar and Grill on Southport, or the restaraunt Jack's on Halsted.

I once set up a date with a girl at "Jack's" and was sitting at Jake's for 3 hours getting shiathouse drunk, only to go home to 6 messages of her getting angrier and angrier at me as the evening went on and she was sitting at Jack's for those same 3 hours also getting shiathouse drunk.

Needless to say she never forgave me the misunderstanding, not that I would have gone out with her again anyway based on how psycho she gets when she drinks.

Chicks.

Sheffield's?????? Um, I don't know if that area and farkers would mix very well. OR maybe it would, what do I know??

I will be there and I will be dressed as Abe Froman, sausage king of Chicago. Will there be a fark.com sign?? Farkers are a shy bunch and don't approach new people well.

Sweet, Mandrax. I'll be the short-haired girl at the bar wearing a Pixies shirt and reading H.G. Wells.

If I did not have a tort final on Monday i would go, i only live a few blocks away. I have never heard of that place, then again i just moved here and I have not gone out in months.

Do they have that every Friday? Where is McGees?

Mandrax:

You got it. I suppose you could have a Goose Island for me. :-)

actually, will people still be there after 10? how late are people staying?

otak: Heh. I will be the other girl with the Pixies shirt and short dark hair.

Er, dammit, Abe FROMAN! I need a beer, can't ya tell?

msubizkit4

no, my friend is throwing it, its for some charity - I don't have all the details but everyone is invited. McGees is in Lincoln Park not sure of the address I think around Linconl and Armitage

activejester: Ok, so you don't want to go to Jak's. But why would you want to go to Village Tap if there's such a good deal to be had at McGee's?

trinkau1, I'm thinking of staying till at the latest 11. I have the damned second job to go to in the morning and I'm still a bit shredded from 80's night at Neo last night.

mandrax

I used to live above the Village Tap, so the deals are just as good there for me, but Im not opposed to Jaks Tap - McGees might have too many LPT's and fans of LPT's

Couldn't find a babysitter. I'll drink from home in your honor after the rugrats crash.

activejester: Jak's is happily LPT free. There's the cousin species, the WLT, but only enough of them to provide some entertainment.

there was an article about the Dallas Fark Party in the Dallas Observer.. well done!

otakugrrl69: well i guess ill have to see how much work i can get done in time, one beer might be a possiblity

mandrax

there are West Loop Trixies?

I'll be there, probably the only SouthSider as well!
