    I think I have two extras of the white baby head, with all of the random objects in the head!

    Why do you ask?

    Just got my TM ticket for night two in the mail yesterday! Sorry can't make the pub crawl.
    Just a note though, Miller's Pub is large enough as there is an 'upstairs' with a low ceiling. But it does tend to get crowded with the post-work loop crowd so it's possibly not ideal.

    I guess I will take it as a good sign that no one from the pub crawl seems to be awake to post before 1pm :)

    well i was awake at 7am :eek:
    just busy until now
    anyhow
    we *think* we have it narrowed down between Kasey's and Exchequer

    Kasey's was smaller but had a better vibe, more bar-ish. approximate 8minute walk from venue. They serve Taylor St pizzas and popcorn but you CAN bring in outside food AND they had 19 different beers on tap (always a bonus!!!)

    Exchequer was bigger and had better food options but was definitely more diner-ish (they did have a bar and an extensive beer on tap list. approximate 5minute walk from venue

    SO....
    laura or myself will be making phone calls to the two *finalists* sometime this weekend or early next week to talk to management and get more info to share with YOU and then decide.

    OTHER NOTES:
    Bar Louie was more of a sports bar sort of place plus they're a chain so it'll be harder to get them let us hold a fundraiser/party there without being shuttled to some little party room and whatnot. also, they were pricey

    Hackney's had a different vibe, older crowd (and by older, I mean older than me and i'm late 30's)

    Elephant & Castle was too far as was the Cactus both over 15 minutes walk from venue.
    and I forget why we didnt like manhattan's :D

    and there ya go!

    You didnt like manhattans because it is too small. Although it does have a part room.

    Yeah, everything that Jeannette/luv said. In a nutshell, Kasey's was more bar-vibe w/eh food. Exchequer was more food-vibe w/eh bar, all the others didn't meet enough criteria. :)

    As far as a charity, I put in an email to this cool group: http://girlsrockchicago.org/ for one of the nights. For the other night, I figure we can vote it all out. Thoughts?

    Hi there,

    I'll donate the following:

    -Ottawa Poster professionally framed (frame job is okay, but looks awesome)
    -PJ DVD Tshirt (black one with Eddie sweeping) size MEDIUM (fits a little small)
    -PJ London, Canada Tshirt (size MEDIUM but fits pretty small)

    Both shirts were worn once, for 10 seconds, after which I realized I was fat and couldn't fit in them very well.

    Pic of Ottawa poster here: http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f133/kylebicking/PJ%20Posters/

    Please add me to the list of one who needs a ticket (or two). Will pay for them or trade other framed posters, services, whatever!

    Please advise where to drop off donations.

    Thanks,
    Kyle
