Do they have a Starbucks in the Borders? You all could go there and grap a frappucinno after you ride up and down the sidewalk a couple of times.

Cha...Y'all may as well go meet at the Lincoln Park VW dealership and troll for Trixies...Sounds like you TrixieMales may be just what they are looking for...
I said IN FRONT OF, not IN borders...its central, close to the eL, food, coffee...pull it together dude...

1. riding through 3 winters
2. owning a vw gti
3. riding a hellish century during the rapture
4. liking Frapacinos(sp?)
5. commuting 60mi suburbs to chicago
6. living in the suburbs
7. racing 3 alleycat stages
8. sleeping through 2 stages.....

screw it, this is worse than finals

We need to do something on a weekend afternoon or another weekday evening though not at 5:30 - too early (people getting off work, need to get their bikes, etc). Friday evening is the worst partly due to work and then afterwards there's always something going on Friday. This Friday in particular there's a few art show openings (down in Pilsen if anyone is interested). Also part of the reason I don't do mass.

Willy - it's exactly like herding cats. Buffalo even.

Wow...and you're a teacher! Think context...see what my response quoted. Basic structure, and you get an F. Unless of course you are unfamiliar with what an 'alleycat' is, then I understand.
Whatstickerguy is refering to is the last stage of the "Tour Da Chicago," a.k.a.as the "Stairmaster." Check it out and let me know how it was (take pics if you go!) since I will be in PA. And tell Marcus hello.

Furthermore, don't try and plant some sexual meaning here (your calling card to my posts), although after being around all those High School kids you really want to. Maybe you should transfer out to Hinsdale...
heh heh heh...

Never tried it, but I guess there's methods.
