Wow! What a great time we had last night at Pegasus. Thanks to everyone who attended for making it such a super event. I wish you all could have been with us to share in the fun and food.
Our attendees included regulars Railfan, BobboSphere and Tim DeLaney; first timers NormAl1792 and winifred3, JeffW and Calamity Jane, Marzook, ipmurphy, and luvweasel; second-timer Empower Ink arrived late after a trying day with her automobile. Of course broths, who is an exactly perfect calmer-downer for yours truly, was at the head of the table with mr. broths and my long-time pal Hotsie Horsie, who I still haven't been able to participate on line, was there to urge me on.
So, you say, where are they? Where's the food pron? You know where, just follow me down below the fold.
Since the excuse we used for this particular get-together was to celebrate the 101st anniversary of the birth of iconic man about Chicago, Studs Terkel, it seemed only fitting that some interviewing be done. Please forgive the abrupt beginning and ending and enjoy what's in between. It's my first video of more than 9 seconds and I'm quite proud of it. You've heard their voices through their words, now you can actually hear their voices
At the beginning I was asking Tim DeLaney to tell us about how he became such a left-leaning Democrat after years of foolishly thinking he was a Republican. You can see I do have a command of the command.....
I think when I stopped shooting I was promising that I wouldn't post anything too embarrassing and I think I upheld that part of the bargain. At least I hope I did.
Photos were taken too:

You should know the players by now:
Red socks were one of Studs's trademarks. I am sure, had he been born 20 years later, he would have worn them with sandals, don't you think?
And taking a place of great honor is the lovely broths without whom I could never, ever, never aspire to Midwest Divadom.
Unfortunately, my batteries were worn out by the time Empower Ink arrived and marzook was camera shy. Otherwise, now you have just a taste of what you missed. We gossiped about y'all though, so don't worry...
Oh, and by the way, check out those name tags. Downtown for sure!
