Dude: For Real.I'm thinking mid June.I'm thinking either Wicker Park courts or That One Court Near Dante.Grills = hot food, not cold looks.Bring your vinyl stumpers and your portable High-Figh (the one with the wheels).I am predicting that few of the basketball games will be high-scoring affairs. Nevertheless, the following excuses for poor Game will not be accepted:??? "Man, it's been a long time since I played."??? "Oh, shit. My hamstring." (also not accepted: "hammy (var.)," "quad," "hangnail." Accepted: "groin.")??? "Oh, shit. Rob's hitting on my boo."??? "This is the wrong throwback jersey."??? "My headband is too absorbent."??? "My goatee is too heavy." (James only)??? "This turtleneck is not Regulation."??? "This basketball is not up to my personal standards."??? "Oh, shit. Will's hitting on my Lamp 45s."??? "Chris found a Salt 45 and 2 more Renaldo Dominos behind the dumpster. My shot hasn't been the same since."Let me hear you. This WILL happen.

    i'm down to try and get the bbq thing rolling again. as for b-ball, "my groin is too absorbant"

    See, that's the way to go. Feedback is good. Although I'm really starting to think that the Chicago Mafia are only Ballers in the Marvin Gaye "You Sure Like To" sense.

    lol. i know of a few games happening saturdays if you want to get down. no strutter mafia, but good cats nonetheless.

    as for the bbq, if you want to lead the movement, i've got some admin experience. really though, we don't need to be drinking to have a good time. lincoln park was looking beatiful yesterday. let's do this.

    i've gotta rowboat.

    If we have less than 50 folks total, we won't need a city permit. I'm dry, so I hadn't considered booze.
    Chicago cats need to check in.

    Don't forget about this classic excuse: "Someone stole my basketball." Always in effect, especially at blink-and-it's-gone Wicker Park.

    ^ I just bought a shiny silver Nike B-Ball. Thieves, don't play yourselves.


    This event is tenatively scheduled for June 17th or 24th. Let me hear you on this.[/b]

    I just got a VG+ vinyl copy of "4 Corners" that I'd love you all to hear (for the 300th time). What a fucking perfect song. I'd been waiting for my price for years.




    ...and whom do you have to fuck to get a Nocioni jersey in this town?

    OKeh.

    About one month, now. It should be warm by then. Morningstar Farms Grillers are welcomed, too.

    Who is with me?

    Here's a picture of a poodle:

    If you want to risk my presence, June 17 is the only option.

    [world's smallest violin]See, here's the thing:

    Apparently, I have zeeero pull in this town. I tried to come off as sure of myself in organizing this thing (which, at the time, I was), but I could just see DCast in my mind's eye, laughing to himself, saying "this'll shit'll never work." I tried to bump this shit up and cats dropped off. No PMs.


    So Mind David was right. I tried my best, Chicago (sniff, cough).[/world's smallest violin]
