Who do you know at Metro, Roy? Everyone seems to know him (even before he worked security there).

I know Rob Pecher. He's from saint louis too. There's a fuck of St. Louisians there obviously. A few buddies reside in the Chi now.....

[jake431]

Yep, that would (probably) be him. I've known that dude forever and a day (I think 17 years). How many Chicago folk would be interested in actually getting together?

Me

Josh Mullen

Any others? We could just meet up at Cole's Bar, and go from there.

[rtst]

Aho? Me?? KVC?

[twistedtrees]

[curemyself]

[josh mullen]

danny's

skylark

continental

whistler

deville

sonotheque, or whatever its called now...beauty bar?

charleston

hideout

[rtst]

Yo homo. Learn to return a text. Also when we went for Peruvian Map room was right up the street btw.

[josh mullen]

map room on the 25th? i'm game.

[jake431]

Let me see if I can move some stuff around to meet up on the 25th. Josh - I read in the LVC thread you have a pair of the 55's - this years? I'd like to see them, if possible. I am thinking of going TTS in them, and shrinking them down for some straight legged slimmer jeans. Not sure how you sized them, but I'd be curious to see, if possible.

[josh mullen]

I have two pairs of '55s -- both of which I bought just about a year ago (end of January 2010, if memory serves.) One is a 34x36, the other is a 36x36. I actually like them both. The '55s can be worn slim because they are cut generously in the top block and upper thigh. You see many people sizing down on their '47s, but because that cut is already slim results aren't always good.

[joelz]

I'm going to be in the Chicago area this weekend... so if you see a guy in pair of eternals with a nikon walking around, say hi.
