nah, your overall posting is enough for us to not want you there.

(unless you become a good poster, then, whatever I guess, it'd be cool to meet more people.)

Katie,

I have just been updating the list as people post so I don't miss anyone or make any wrong assumptions.

That is why you were "forgotten" so don't worry. We still love you!

Just so you know, someone needs to arrange the rental of a karaoke machine.

Oli · « **Reply #54 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 09:08 »

Man I am pretty sure we can scrounge together a laptop with karaoke software, some big speakers, a mic and a projector. We are the internet, after all.

i tried last time! i really did! it is not my fault that mike's tv was broken!

acappella karaoke was fun though.

That or we could karaoke in public. Scare the masses of Chicago and the like.

Alex C · « **Reply #57 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 11:56 »

If we do karaoke, I will sulk.

And then get drunk.

And probably do karaoke.

But it will be sulky karaoke, like Cohen and Morrissey. Do you really want that on your heads?

I have Rock Band... could also get one of those karaoke games.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #59 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 13:53 »

I'd go for a karaoke game, as long as it had good shit on it and doesn't have American Idol anywhere in its title. Also I was wondering whether or not to bring my xbox to this event, I know I am bringing my laptop this time, so if we absolutely have to do acapella at least we can look up the lyrics so it won't get fuzzy in the middle when they forget the words.

If we do it in public we should do a show choir style version of bohemian rhapsody.

mberan42 · « **Reply #60 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 14:04 »

Yeah I have Guitar Hero: World Tour too.

KvP · « **Reply #61 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 14:06 »

I'd suggest somebody bring along their 360 and Rock Band (maybe a local QCer has a setup?) but that might be a bit too much work.

mberan42 · « **Reply #62 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 14:07 »

Jesus H, man, READ THE POST ABOVE YOURS. ALSO, THE ONE TWO ABOVE THAT.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #63 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 14:08 »

Hell, we could have a couple setups with all this going on. Or maybe a battle of the bands style tournament.

KvP · « **Reply #64 on:** 13 Feb 2009, 14:09 »

hmm, those posts were not there when I hit "reply". And it didn't alert me to those posts when I hit "post".

Odd. It just did the alert for Boro_Bandito, though.

I didn't just mean a UK bank holiday, I thought there was some kind of American holiday hoopla going on that weekend too. Is there not?

Just out of curiosity, would anyone else be interested in going to the Art Institute on one of the days? They're opening a new wing this summer for 20th-21st century art, and I am intrigued.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #70 on:** 15 Feb 2009, 20:50 »

I'm a Maybe, bordering on probably.

I would! It is always worth a visit, imho.

Oh yes and I am probably a maybe, and I would probably be staying at either my dad or my aunt's home. Like I said in the previous thread, I mayyy be able to offer lodging to one or two people, but they probably have to be young-ish and female.

edit: probably prbably probalby

Metope · « **Reply #72 on:** 16 Feb 2009, 03:29 »

Oh yeah, count me in on visiting the Art Institute too! That's one of the things I've been meaning to ask people about, and I didn't even know about the new wing. This sounds really exciting!

Lines · « **Reply #73 on:** 16 Feb 2009, 06:09 »

I'll go to the Art Institue too! I did not get to go there the last time I was in Chicago and it made me kind of sad.

sean · « **Reply #74 on:** 16 Feb 2009, 08:59 »

Man I am so down for the art institute. So down.

Cernunnos · « **Reply #75 on:** 16 Feb 2009, 09:49 »

That sounds like a good idea. Also, probably coming.

Who says you can't dance or kiss in the museum? I imagine someone might say that, but they are not someone I would like to meet.

Missed this:

Really? Whereabouts?

Bumfuck nowhere about halfway between Madison and Milwaukee.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #84 on:** 16 Feb 2009, 15:30 »

We should actually play music and skate around on rollerskates while in the museum.

I can't remember if the guys in Batman were wearing skates or not. But there will be no knocking everyone out with gas and then painting over art while listening to Prince.

Also- what are people's thoughts about going to the zoo?

I love the zoo. You should also.

dennis · « **Reply #91 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 07:11 »

There's also a Museum of Holography, but I'm not entirely sure it's still open.

There's also a Museum of Surgical History, but it was kind of boring. Nothing like the freaky Museum of Medical History in London.

Edith · « **Reply #92 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 08:21 »

Whatever we do, let's not go to the Field Museum. I'd rather wait 4 hours in the blazing sun to get into Shedd than to settle for Field again.

Boro_Bandito · « **Reply #93 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 09:35 »

It's L.A. Story! With Steve Martin? greatest love story of all time, c'mon, I make a reference to this movie every couple of months.

Edit: Oh you are a sly temptress pagebreak.

i might be coming to chicagocon!

(yes okay, i also said that about tronnocon, but this is much more likely because i will not be in school at the time and thus i will not need to worry about it conflicting with my exam schedule. also i feel like i've gotten to know you guys a bit better now, so there'd be less awkwardness.)

Lines · « **Reply #95 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 16:03 »

The Shedd was awesome and I'd definitely like to go again and I would love to go to the zoo, too! I do not want to go to the Museum of Science again, though. It wasn't as awesome as I originally thought it would be and I require lots of awesome from science museums, because it's science!

Blah. If the dates on this were like the Toronocon dates, I might be able to swing it, but no chance in July. Fiddlesticks.

Slick · « **Reply #99 on:** 18 Feb 2009, 20:23 »

I am actually in the same boat as you. I do not want to give up my weekend at the hillside festival the weekend before, and I do not think I can justify two back-to-back weekends of expense right before my last batch of final exams in my undergrad.

P.S.: I am not trying to whine here, just stating where I stand. The dates were chosen for some reason or other. I voiced my opinions and voted then, this is what we got.
