Fogo is looking less and less lika a viable option. While some of my intrepid friends are willing to pay a little extra to eat delicious meats all night long, I don’t think everyone is willing to pay 50 bucks (plus drink) for the privilege, so we’re going to do something else for eats.
That option is up for debate! Feel free to contribute, even if you can’t come, but we’re looking for some fabulous Chicago-only food that falls into the less than fifty bucks each category. The plan is to board the train with a number of ideas, let those ideas wrestle in jello for awhile, and arise in Chicago with a single bloodied but victorious champion. Which we will then consume.
First suggestion from blue_lucy: Tappas!
Along with dinner, we have other fanciful ideas for spending our time. Again, I like the idea of waiting until we’re on the train and brainstorming on these ideas until the most exciting options win – I don’t want to insist on something I think is fun while everyone else takes a nap.
Our first suggestion comes from plasmonicgrid –
American Science and Surplus stores – http://www.sciplus.com/ Rare earth magnets, bottles, toys, kits and models, and object descriptions like, “It throws a red point a loong way (we’ve thrown it two city blocks at night, and it would’ve gone farther, but buildings got in the way).”
This seems like a great place for crafty people, of which I’m one. of. Or something.
Additional suggestions in comments or on the train! We’ll get out some maps and make a quest of things (Belly-dancing hookah bar is still on, never fear Amy).
In other news, we have our own evil schemes for train shenanigans afoot. Including, perhaps, pudding shots, or even pudding espresso. Feel free to devise your own deviousness (is that repetitive?) to entertain the lot of us. Topless is fine.
