I think it's worth identifying preferred re-filling stations on the west side. What's your favorite nook, cranny, or bartender? I'm drunk-riding distance home from the Clipper, so that's my default. Continue

hope you don't mind the cross-post, but my buddy PJ is posted this and I thought it might be a great Wed evening ride: I am organizing a gathering at Heartland this Wed. evening. I plan to arrive before 6pm and have some dinner and drink. Nothing special except to try and help Heartland with it's financial woes and hang out with some friends. Feel free to join in and look forward to seeing any of you up there!
Thanks, PJ

The weather has been amazing the past few days. It's time for a fall drink somewhere. Who's in for tonight sometime after 10pm?
Follow the twitter feed for instant updates. I'll be posting there also if I can get even just one gang member to join me: http://twitter.com/#!/westtowngang.

Well, gangsters. Here's the report. Several gangsters showed up. We consumed some beverages and solved the problems of monogamy and discussed the socio-economic issues built into neighborhood softball games in Humboldt Park. We also toured through said park and did a light analysis of American Road trips. All in all it was an excellent first meeting. Multiple hazings for those of you who missed the event.

Contemplating gathering the gang tonight after 10, either in the crotch, or over at the clipper. If you have a preference, speak up before then. Otherwise, I'll put the word out for sure around 10:15.

Ian - I'd love to hear about that case. Wow. As for our gang, we are 100% independent. Nobody's gonna lean on us!

I need to know if we are affiliating with People Nation or Folk to determine the correct angle for my helmet.

A few years ago, I represented a girl who identified herself as a member of the "Trailer Park Gangstas" out of Michigan. I wish I was kidding.

I say bring it.

Didn't we have a confab about rye on the last Marauders? If your flashmob ever happens, I'll bring some good rye.
