Just curious if there will be any more Xsmarksers in town for the festivities. I remember that Beloitpiper was planning to be here for both the regular City of Chicago parade on the 17th and the South-Side Parade on the 11th.

Let's see a show of hands and plan to meet if you're coming. If you're coming to the South Side Parade, please let me know as it's in my own neighborhood and I can give you some advice re parking. My wife has actually broached the possibilty of letting me have any of you brave enough to travel down to the South Side stop in and have a brew and some CB&C if you're so inclined...I may even impose on my dear mother to bake a couple of Irish Soda Breads...which I can't eat because I hate raisins...I wish she'd find some bloody currants for a change...ye gods!

Anyway...anybody gonna be in town?

Best
