As you approach the half way point of November approaches, take a short break from writing and join fellow writers and their guests for dinner at Pal Joey's in West Chicago at 6pm on Saturday the 14th. Pal Joey's offers award winning pan pizza and for those who can stay longer, Brock & Abramswill be performing starting at 8pm.

Please RSVP to this thread by Thursday the 12th, so we can make a reservation. Guests are welcome, so be sure let us know how many will be attending.

"As you approach the half way point of November approaches," Sam? Nice to see that your inner editor is tightly locked away for the month! ;)

I should be able to join you there! (and if that changes, I'll update here)

I think i'll go...i've been stressing over writing lately because i haven't been writing as much daily as i would like and my graph puts me behind...so, an evening to just forget writing. sure! I'll see if my husband wants to come a long-...oh dear XD the dear man who grew up in in wheaton...says (when i pulled it up on the map) "rt. 38 and 59??? That's the intersection that always smells really bad!!" "what??" "I'm serious! there is a waste treatment plant near there and it smells bad even in the winter!!"

haha...I told him i'd buy him a beer if he goes

Locking my inner editor away is never a problem for me. I have a bigger problem finding my inner editor and bring it back out the rest of the year.

I'm actually having Pal Joey's this weekend, as it turns out, for a birthday. Their food is good, though, I might be up for it two weekends in a row. I'll let you know next week.

This is so deja-vu. I went there on my birthday some years ago. I'm no longer living close by there, so I would pick somewhere closer to home, but Pal Joey is a great place to go on one's birthday!! I am so envious! (You didn't say if it was your birthday, I just supposed it was.)

I'll be there, Sam. Thanks for organizing.

Oh, I could probably use some re-socialization by then. I'll be there. :)

Barry (FinBarrMcG) and I both plan to be there. Thanks for organizing this, Sam.

Woo hoo! I'll be there. Thanks.

put me down as a ? for now! I can't tell if this is just allergies..or what....but i am just crossing my fingers that i don't wake up feeling miserable in the morning...I've been having really bad seasonal allergies this fall...so i hope that's all it is

I am hoping this isn't anything that will keep me at home :( i hate colds....but allergies i can muddle through

Hope you start feeling better. We will save you a seat if your able to make it.

No, count me out. I even had to leave the all day write in at 5:30...and i had planned to stay until 9! My throat is just SO sore..it hurts to talk, AND swallow anything (so, eating dinner is out of the question tonight! LOL!)...i left once i realized "yep, i am sick"...so that i wouldn't risk anyone else getting sick...

I blame the girls i nanny for. The eldest one has been sick with a cold the past 2 weeks...and her germs found their way to me!

FYI - the reservation is under "McAdams". See you all there.

Rest up and get better soon.

Crap, I didn't actually meant to RSVP. I meant, I'd let you know if I was going to go. I've been having some heartburn problems, so I'm not going to have pizza tonight, sorry.

Gah, I completely missed this thread! Hoping there's an extra spot in the reservation. Given the thread, I think there is. Ack.
