XYZ convention going to be in Chicago.

I think it's funny. They couldn't get the Olympics, so they're getting XYZ. ROFL

OK Bob, the Cubbies are in town that week, so XYZ is a good tax-deductible excuse to catch my lovable losers and the newest Second City show. Yeah, I'll buy you a soda at the hotel too.

Maybe Dick B will pop down from nearby WI as well!

Neither the Cubbies nor the Sox should be matematically

eliminated that early in the season.
Hope springs eternal.
Looking forward to seeing you, and any other Notroter who wanders in.
Buy me a soda (pop here in Chicago) !!!! Your ARE a wild and crazy guy.

Maybe the Pres. campaigned for it to be there

Either that, or XYZ is lobbying.

2009 Las Vegas in summer. 2010 Chicago in summer. ???

Are they kidding!?!

I'll only go if they pay for my air and hotel and let me in free.

Seriously!

Then after I sign in every morning, I'll leave the xyz convention and hit the town.

I LOVE Chicago!

Rumor has it that the Notary of The Year will go to BHO...

That's because he successfully "authenticated" his own Hawaii birth certificate.

Yes I know this should be in Just Politics, but my Chicago origins should grant me some slack here.

If I belonged to the NNA, he'd get my vote. (the first one so far)

People in Chi and the area were not really that enthusiastic about the olympics coming here. Just a lot of hype. No loss here.

But xyz? Whatever........

I heard that Bob is going to put all of us up in Chicago so we can hold an XYZ protest rally.
(Only kidding around, of course). It's EOM & I need all the humor I can muster.

Hey........save your EOM earnings and come visit us in Chi. You don't need an XYZ reason to visit. Lots to see and do.

Maybe we can have a NR event.
