    Wampas - I'm sure many of us (at least Tom, Jeff and me) will be there way past 10 - wherever we go. Perhaps you should call me on my cell when you are ready to head down in case we moved or something.

    There are lots of dive bars out by me (in Muskego) that are usually only about half full on the weekends. We may also get some strange looks - but I never had a problem with that!

    I hadn't thought of the whole UWM thing. We may want to move west a bit...

    There is a cool bar / restaurant (I can't think of the name right now) on the far north end of water street. It serves some pretty good French food and has a heated patio. It is somewhere in the Water Street / Brady / Cass street area. Anyone remember the name?

    I'm really familiar with Cass/Brady..I have a friend that lives on Brady two houses west of Cass. I know there used to be a restaurant there but it just changed ownership. Might not be the same place that you're thinking of however. It has a nice little patio overlooking Brady?

    I would suggest Major Goolsby's, but since the playoff's are going on, it might be crowded as hell.

    No matter where we go, it's gonna be crowded. What if we went back to that place...the pizza place from GenCon? They seemed able to seat a large group rather quickly.

    I think our best bet as far as lack of people and ability for the young 'uns to get in would be a townie bar. I know Dan said there are some out by him, there are also a few out here in Brookfield (Chumley's, Rita Rae's, etc). They're usually pretty thin on populace and I've never seen a one of them card, unless you're buying booze.

    Chumly's sounds good - nice place, good food.

    Works for us. Just give us an address and we'll be there. Hey Dan, your cell is in the database right? I'm thinking out that way is going to be the best bet on a Friday night.

    Well, Chumley's seems to work... if not, someone let us know. It's on the north-east corner of Moorland and National. From 43, head north; from 94 head south. It's in a mall type setup with what looks like an abandoned Kohl's. There's also a George Webb, Taco Hell, and St. Francis bank near it.

    "I think that some kind of East Side "Underground Joint" (pun intended?) would be a blast."

    For future reference, I know of a couple. Quarters, near Fuel Cafe, and Linneman's Riverwest Inn, on Locust, are about as underground as you can get.

    Well, I know everyone doesn't live on the same side of town--maybe we can switch off if we do this regularly. I like the East Side too.

    I live on the South Side. There is no way I would subject any of you to the Crapahy type bars here. Unless of course you want to feel amazingly brilliant and think "Hey wow! That guy's life sucks way more than mine!"

    It's a bad place to go to a bar. We used to bet the first round by placing wagers on the number of teeth the waitress was missing. One fartherest from correct paid...it was a horrible place to turn 21. Horrible.

    Well, I'd LOVE to go out with you guys. No question there. :) But...I have to work 8-12 Friday night and by the time I drove back to Milwaukee from Oshkosh, I don't think it would be worth it. Next time I'm home though, I'd LOVE to do this. :D

    It looks like we're settled on Chumley's. I'm thinking between 7 and 8 would be a good time. I live about 3 miles away and will try to get there by around 7.

    BTW - There is a TRU about a mile down the road if anyone needs to supliment their collection...

    I will post a link to a map and some directions soon.

    Depending on how I'm feeling and such, I may drive out from Madison after I finish with work and join you all for the tipping of the bevvies. :D

    No, we'll be drinking to his honor. Make Twisty the DD, 'cause she's underage.


    Flawless. Logic. :D

    Wish I could make it on Friday, but previous obligations prevent me from doing so, unless...you'll all still be out later, like 10:30 - 11, that is if the ol' boy will let me out that late without him. Will someone have their cell with them that I might be able to give a call if I'm able to free myself for a few hrs. from the slave chains of married life? Let me know.

    Tracey, we'll probably close the place down (well, at least I know a couple of us will try to). Which means about 2 AM. So, if you can, you should come on out.

    I always have my cell phone handy. That is, of course, unless I forget it.

    Good. We'll shine between 2200 and 2230. I have Dan's cell. Hopefully he'll be one of the closers just in case everyone decides to go somewhere else.
