Site News: Let’s talk Blogger Bash

July 3, 2008 in Local, Site News

By Billy Dennis

July 29 is the fifth Tuesday of the month, and tradition calls for a Blogger Bash.

We’ve done the chain hot-wing-joint thing.

We’ve done the other-side-of-the-river thing.

Let’s do it old school and meet at the site of the FIRST Peoria-area blogger bash and do it up at the Recovery Room. 802 W. Pioneer Parkway in Peoria. Say, 6 p.m.

Any other ideas, suggestions, criticisms, insults?

    Sounds fine to me!

  2. Eyebrows McGee Says:

    Will Elliott’s have their liquor license by then? :D

  3. Billy Dennis Says:

    Eyebrows: Yes.

    It would certainly loosen up C.J. a bit to go there.

    ;-)

    I had planned on going to the moe. concert on the riverfront, but it’s looking like that won’t happen. Recovery Room works for me. Do they serve food there?

  5. Billy Dennis Says:

    I do believe so. I know that they have things to nibble on at Elliott’s, too.

    :-0

  6. PeoriaIllinoisan Says:

    You’ll want to get a Cheese-O-B.

  7. mortonmalaise Says:

    PI,
    What did you just call me?

    And Bill, I assure you- while Elliott’s might have a liquor license by then, the scenery inside will immediately send you right back out the front door. Especially since you don’t drink.

  8. Billy Dennis Says:

    Cory: Are you disparaging the loveliness of the ladies from Elliott’s?

  9. mortonmalaise Says:

    It is what it is.

  10. PeoriaIllinoisan Says:

    It’s a sandwich at the Recovery Room, similar to a maid-rite but ohh so much better. But honestly I haven’t had one in a few years since they jacked up their prices and priced me right out of there.

  11. mortonmalaise Says:

    I suppose if I’d ever had a Maid-Rite, I would have a point of reference.

  12. Billy Dennis Says:

    Imagine a hamburger, but the beef is all crumbly, like a sloppy joe.

  13. PeoriaIllinoisan Says:

    But not with sloppy joe sauce, more naturally moist. Yummy.

  14. Billy Dennis Says:

    … and Firehouse Pizza is next door, too. I’m pretty sure we can order some for the group.

  15. namethispeorialandmark Says:

    Firehouse moved.

  16. Billy Dennis Says:

    It’s not on Pioneer Parkway anymore? I coulda sworn …

  17. mortonmalaise Says:

    It’s across the street. Sort of.

  18. C. J. Summers Says:

    Wow, we’re talking about July 29 already? I don’t even know what I’m doing this weekend, let alone three weeks from now. As long as we’re making long-term plans, do you want to go ahead and set a time and place for September 30 while we’re at it? I suggest Kelleher’s @ 6 p.m.

  19. mortonmalaise Says:

    Since Vonachen’s is closing at the end of the year, I think we should have the December 30th Blogger Bash there. Who’s with me?
