There's a meet-up in Chicago tomorrow! 8 pm Old Town Ale House, if you're not in the Facebook group "Chicago Jezzies," then join damnit.

Ugh, now I'm the asshole. I'm feeling crappier by the minute, so I'm going to bail. Sorry kiddos, I promise I'll be at the next one.

Also, look for Ratinski to arrive around 7:30. Fridays are my "extra day off" (translation: Consulting is in deep shit! All of you are on 4 day weeks until the shit is less deep!) so I will be coming in from Jersey.

I came up with an idea but I haven't gone to look for the materials yet because my office is warm and cozy, but I think I'll find a big plastic "gold chain" and print the Jezebel logo out and hang it from that. Maybe next time.

I'll be there with my black coat and pink flats on at 5:30. If none of y'all show, I'm unfriending all you bishes! (And will weep.)

If anyone's still reading, you should come anyway if you can, even if you don't sing. Who's going to take embarrassing pictures of us? Also muppetprincess, are you in the JezNYC Facebook group? We try to post invites there at least 5 days in advance. If it's not letting you join, just PM some of us and we'll add you as a friend and keep you in the loop. I keep planning to pick up something to put on the table or make a sign, but I'm a slacker and a habitually late one at that so it never happens. But I'm good at spotting you guys, so I'll figure out who you are and flag you down before it gets weird. :)

@Sour Patch Bitch (r.n. spy returns in the spring): Good to know. This is my first attempt at not being a socially awkward weirdo, and I'd like it to go smoothly :)

I will be there, but I will not sing unless I get suitably drunk, and I'm not sure I can afford that much alcohol. :D

So, uh, for a first timer, how would I find the Jezebels? Is there a flashing sign?

@AtomicBellyButton: I currently have sort of purple-red hair, if that helps. Or just look for the large gaggle of women. If you feel brave, tap one on the shoulder and ask if they're a Jezzie. If you're not brave, stand there looking scared until someone sees you and takes pity on you.

@AtomicBellyButton: We really need hats or something. Tell y'all what, I'll stop by around 5:30 - I'm in a long black coat, black tee with pink tank, trouser jeans and bright pink flats. And I carry a gigantic, rather obnoxious brown Coach.

@Khrushchev: Honestly, at my first meetup, I just kind of staggered vaguely towards the back and BeckySharper and PilgrimSoul and KittenFluff greeted me heartily and I was like "you are some nice people!" Or wait, PS, didn't you show up later? I am confused. Also it was really hot out and I had been waiting for the fucking subway forever on a steamy platform yuck and looked like Flight 1549 after its unscheduled landing (read: battered, damp, and dredged out of the Hudson.)
