Got an email with the above information from the U of M Chicago Alumni Association. Mark your calendars, Brian's coming to the Windy City. After hearing about last year's event in DC I'm thrilled that Brian will be travelling west on I-94. I know we've got a big contingent of MGoBloggers in Chicago, and I look forward to meeting some of you IRL.
I do that sometimes, too.
Nifty!
Swell!
Wish I could make it.
That date is marked in indelible pixels on my calendar. In fact, I'm going to miss softball that evening and don't even mind.
EDIT: Aw, crap! My wife got us tickets to the Tigers' game at the Cell that night. i'm going to have to figure out how to get out of that.
Tremendous!
Fergodsakes!
Ugh. When is one of these going to happen in the Soutwest Virginia/West N. Carolina/East Tennessee region?
Just as soon as you get flush toilets and switch from DC to AC for your electricity needs.
he kinda leaned into that punch, didn't he?
Just a bit. But I tease out of love for my fellow MGoAddict. That area of the country is breath-takingly beautiful, so that makes up for lacking some of the finer parts of civilization.
are there really that many Michigan alums/fans up in them mountains?
Fans? Probably some. Alums? I thought those folks were skeptical of those new-fangled college daygrees and book learnin' and such.
Or is Ann Arbor closer?
Livestream or it didnt happen
Super duper!
I hope he cuts his hair.
I'll be there
Unless it comes pre-folded like tacos
What wolf pussy tastes like?
Live in Chicago, but I frequent Jets for my "Detroit-style" pizza needs.
Thought I will say I really like this place near me called Diagostinos' Chicago-style za.
Every time I fly back to Detroit I always stop at Jets Pizza. I also try to hit up Buscemi's Pizza, too.
NY style vs. Chicago style pizza is a pointless argument, because in the end, Detroit style is far and away the best kind of pie.
Bee's knees!
For the east coast crowd - we'll post full info on the blog eventually, but you can save the date for the U of M Club of NYC's 5th Annual Football Kickoff Party w/ Brian and TomVH on Thursday August 15th.
All I got was what I posted above, it's a save the date. As more info comes I'll post it. Typically the AAUM-Chicago hosts events that are open, but more expensive for non AAUM members.
Hooah! This just made my day!
Me too!
The entire audience should show up in the Brian photobomb t-shirt.
(1) Brian Cook (2) Sam Webb and (3) Gerry Dinardo
I'd like to throw water bottles at members of the panel.
FYI....further details on location, etc.
When: Wednesday, July 24, 5:30pm-8:00pm
