Hey, any guys in chicago interested in trying to meet up?
YES, definitely!
Count me in! I didn't go last time but I'll be down for it
did this meeting ever pan out?
meeting new people is always a good thing
If it never happened, we should keep trying.
I'm up for it.
I think Wrigleyville and Boystown would be a good place! ..|
Meh, boystown gets old.
I say camping in Wisconsin =]
Did I hear Wisconsin?
Hey, if you want to go camping in Wisconsin in December, January or February, feel free. Though going to Wisconsin for a Chicago meet-up seems a little silly to me.
Nopeees....Will thinks a nice warm place like Halstead's Bar and Grill or Nookies Tree would be wonderful...or if people were to come to visit chicago from farther in illinois we should hold it somewher downtown...like the grand lux?
Winter camping is great. For you naysayers who think it would be too cold... you find ways to warm things up.
I usually throw on my bathrobe and a throw...and I did have a very cold camping experience this spring with some friends...IT WAS NOT WARM AT ALL!
I have a question....
Having never been to boystown, whats it like? I know its mostly gay but what's there to do? I'm deciding whether or not to go soon.
I think there's something for everybody. Aside from the restaurants and Centre on Halsted, most places are 21+.
Some places are more clique-ish. Some are for the under-25 crowd. Some for the cross-dressers. Some for the promiscuous.
What are you in to? Perhaps I can recommend a place.
What am I into? Uhh...I don't really know lol
I've never been to any place with a gay theme or that is openly gay and I heard boystown has lots of those places so its been in my mind for a while
But since I'm only 19 I guess I'll stick to restaurants and places to eat or other places for under 21
Even walking about on a Saturday evening can be fun. I've met cool random people on the streets. It also feels liberating for some to just be 'out' in both the proverbial and literal sense of the word.
Well, I don't know what there is to do for the under-21 crowd.
Perhaps lovewill has some suggestions.
Oh, and I do BBQ when it's warmer. So there's always that. =]
Liam stop talking about my vag...! You know i dont have one!
When did I mention the vag you don't have?
Because I was a naysayer to the camping idea....
"For the naysayers, they can sit on the couch and stare at the vag between their legs =]"
Im in chicago.. well La Grange.
I also live in Chicago
sadly there isnt much to do for gay teens in boystown. its one of the critiques of the community and also why the center on halsted was built. the gay community is changing everywhere, gettin younger and younger. our community institutions need to reflect that.
the center on halsted hosts lots of interesting groups. one of my friends goes to a gay latino literary circle. another attends a dance group i believe.
as for roaming the streets, i wouldnt encourage it. another critique is that the local police seems to pounce on loitering (add young and of color to the mix and ur guaranteed an encounter with the police).
Thanks Ive nevere heard of center of halated before
You don't seem to be slow when i'm around :P
Hey, shhh. I'm a good Catholic girl [-X
Mmmmhmm...real good. :)
I'd be up for a meet up :) It would be fun to meet more people.
I'd be up for it.
Well, there seems to a be just a bit of interest.
Perhaps we can all do brunch one Sunday?
Perhaps after the holidays? Seems too short a time to arrange something before then. Or last minute, spur of the moment sometimes works for me too.
After the holidays would be great. Maybe January sometime?
I agree that after the holidays would be better, and it sounds like fun :D
I wasn't thinking anytime very soon.
Let us float the idea a bit then think about days/times.
I'd definitely be up for this...always lookin to meet new people! :)
I've never been to Chicago. Would love to go someday.
I am going down to Chicago the weekend of July 9th if anyone is interested in something small...
kevbo, how long will you be in town?
The weekend. Friday, Saturday, and part of Sunday.
Cool. I have a wedding on Sat. but I'm free Friday after 6 for sure.
New college kid in Chicago...anyone interested? PM me
