We've been remiss in not publicizing this weekend's Curmudgeons Con. It's not been last minute in terms of planning, but we should've had an announcement up sooner. It's our usual arrangement: Meet at Manny's Deli (check out their new TV commercial) in Chicago's South Loop for lunch at 1:00 on Saturday. Hints have been dropped that attendees may come from as far away as the wilds of Wisconsin, which would make this one a tri-state affair. We'll regale each other with tales of our Valentine's adventures and likely find a moment to raise a glass to Steve Gerber. It's the place to be on a blustery February afternoon!
