Mostly just lurk around here, but I can jump in to say that the shop I work for has had a few orders come from overseas via Seabrook, and they all have been packed terribly. Mish-mash of boxes, broken down cardboard, etc. If we're aware they will be the shipper, we request someone else, or...

Fino / Manazanilla sherry, full stop.

/lurk +2, as someone with a clue who breezed through town, taking some home to the West Coast... lurk

[/lurk] I resemble the last part of that remark. The Trousseau is really a fun wine; I don't think we gave the Dirty and Rowdy enough time - those wines really transform after about three hours open. A pleasure to enjoy a nice meal with you and your family, as well as to put a face to the...

[/lurk] I'm in if it's after the 13th and not a Tuesday. [lurk]

[/lurk] Yes. Yes indeed. [lurk]

As another Chicago resident, I think Lars is spot on. Whatever you want, there's something here to fit that need. Of course all the suggestions thus far in the thread are excellent; I'll throw another vote behind Schwa, just because I think it's unique, great food, and BYOB (and blocks from my...

FWIW Le Lan closed last week, citing the economy. If 'near future' is really in the next three days, be aware that the National Restaurant Association convention is in town, which may make reservations/walk ups at the non-reservation places more difficult to come by. Agree with all the other...

I like the puppet idea (Kabuki, after all), but I'll keep it to myself, or the next think I know they'll be asking for puppets of animals controlled by kids.

Unlikely. More probably a postmodern, revisionist take, with an emphasis on emotional, rather than narrative storytelling. And probably kids. Or animals. They always want kids and animals. Keeps the audience entertained...

We're thinking of doing Richard III next season, want an invite?

I did. For a long time. I just radically underestimated my internet skillz. You guys are GOOD. -Marc

Dammit. All I wanted was a hearty Fuck You from the monkey, a welcome to the best place on the internet to discuss tokay as seen through the lens of a dead Norwegian playright, and a little moment in the sun for the IWCC. I don't have the chops to keep up, so I'll take my last comment to Joe...

Joe, With all due respect, I am not the boogey-man you're trying to make me out to be. I work for the Court Theatre in Chicago (check it out - we're doing a new adaptation/translation of Ibsen's 'The Wild Duck' - pretty cool!) - it's a non-profit, I'm the director of production. I love...
