Last night the Chicago Nerd Dinner - Downtown Edition was a success.  We had 9 people show up, including 3 that we thought had fallen off the face of the earth.  Conversation was great and some really great ideas were tossed around.  Around 7:30 we were kicked from the main dining room and moved over to the pool room for a couple more “beverages” before the night was over.  Jeff, Brian and I spent quite a bit of time playing very mediocre pool.  Our combined pool IQ is the same as a slightly used dish-rag, so adding a few beers to the mix was probably not the best way to expedite our games.  At the end of the evening, we tallied up our records and it seems to break down like this:

Ryan: 1 game

Brian: 2 games

Jeff: 157 games

Jeff is quite adamant that we played at least 160 games and he won a good deal of them.  I’m quite sure we didn’t, but after a few beers Jeff can be quite pushy.

So all in all it was quite a good evening and I hope we see everybody again next month!
