Any Chicagoland Friends of Tom in the house?

Hi all,

I was thinking about putting together a Chicago area listening party and was wondering how many people would be interested in attending.  Also, does anyone know of a Best Show friendly bar that would be interested in hosting?

Chicago is a big comedy town and there must be some people and some places that would be down for this, right?

Let's discuss it!

I'm in.

[timmx]

I'd sincerely try to make it.

Do you guys know The Hideout (near North and Elston)? I emailed the owner just to bounce the idea off him. I'll let you know his response.

Whoa!! That's awesome!  Thanks for the effort!

And I'm sure that I can bring some new folks to the get-together.  Potential future FOTs.

How about a Knoxville meet-up? No, wait, I know what the people around here are like. Forget it.

My wife just played the Hideout Block Party!

Oh, man. A listening party would be awesome. Count me in.

Plus: I'm just generally glad that you started this thread. It's good to know that there are other FOTs 'round these parts.

I would be willing to have a Triangle, NC listening party, but only if Tom's good friend and Triangle resident Jon Wurster comes, and no sneaking out to make phone calls for Jon, just in case his fellow Philly-area native Philly Boy Roy calls in.

Dude, I waited for you at that Arby's for three days and I never saw you.  Unless you don't actually look like Arthur Brown or Andre 3000 or whoever that is.

[Kibblesmith]

The Hideout would be AWESOME for this.

I'm not back from NYC until Oct 26th. I'm not asking you to accommodate me, exactly, but...

Well, no, yes I am, in no uncertain terms asking you to accommodate me.

[buffcoat]

J-Grote,

I actually went to that Arby's yesterday, but I just went to the drive through, so I must have just missed you.  I am pleased to report, however, that the French Dip was delicious.

As for who the picture is:  "I AM the Shogun of Harlem!"

KIBBLESMITH. Are you in town on the 21st? Do you like dessert? If so, you should come to my party.

Also cool about the Hideout.

From those assholes over at Pitchfork, "Indeed, Chicago-area-dwellers will have several opportunities to get up close and personal with one of their own this December, as Shellac have announced a residency of sorts at one of the city's coziest corners, the venerable Hideout"
