Did you guys book the whole place, or is it not very popular? Looks like fun...when is the Chicago area gathering?

They stuck us in the main dining room, which was only about 30% occupied. This place is in a suburb, so the late-night weekend crowd is mostly in the bar area, or at home putting their kids to bed. But the service was not very good; perhaps that is also a factor. Too bad, really; I worked for Old Chicago back when it was a service-focused establishment, and it was busier and more fun for customers. Growth changes models, I suppose.

or is it that models change growth...

I'm so jealous!!! Maybe we should consider another greater Cincinnati area social event again...I mean, afterall, the last one was in '07.

So, who was most likely to be an ax murderer?

02/09/2009 04:47PM

02/09/2009 05:28PM

I agree with Kanoes. Trix is the one to watch. I guess she gets a little freakish when she is trying to get to her campsite!!
02/10/2009 05:47PM  
whiskeyriver, you got me there! I am a freak when trying to get to my site! Mr. trix will attest to that!!! As far as the Ax goes, I was wondering why Mr. trix always sleeps with it next to him. (And I thought he was worried about the Bears!)
