Hi. I'm a longtime lurker. And I live in Chicago. As much as I would love to attend YearlyKos in my hometown, I'm one of those peoples who just can't afford it. So, what the hell, we're a capitalist society so I want to encourage you all to visit the bars I work at.
Of course, we all have different tastes; so if you're into getting drunk on the cheap, Please go to Gold Star Bar at Division and Wood on Friday and tell the doorguy (me) you're from YearlyKos. I'd love to discuss politics with you.
If you're into GOOD beers, please visit me at SmallBar on Division and Hoyne. We have an excellent beer selection. On Saturday, I'll be barbacking, but will try to take some time out to meet some of y'alls.
Yes, I know this is crass advertising, but this the only way I can actually connect with you people since I can't take off work.
And if you're looking for any more bar recommendations, please let me know, though I am no expert.
