    popa- I am going to be at Shallots tonight with a friend and I am hoping to see you.

    yummy cupcake- Yes, I am a guy from Chicago. I understand that you might not have thought I was from Chicago, but not a guy?

    I am now sitting in Shallots with popa but I dont know who he is.

    #832789

    onegoal, i’m not on here as often as i used to be. (well, besides for the past few days, but i mean in general). so i don’t remember all these minor details 🙂 also u have a very neutral screen name.

    Shallots was excellent.

    I had sushi, and then the lamb and beef duo.

    And I didn’t know who onegoal was either.

    aw popa – you mean nobody found out who you are? what a shame! we all had a great opportunity and missed it.

    i was going to have my husband call shallots and ask for a customer named popa bar abba. would you have come to the phone if he really did that?

    Popa- Where were you sitting? Were you wearing a blue shirt? What time did you leave? Where are you staying for shabbos? Where are you davening?

    I was sitting at a table.

    I was wearing a shirt.

    I left when I was done.

    I am staying somewhere for shabbos.

    I didn’t decide where I’m davening.

    popa, was that you on the mezzanine under the stone arches? On the opposite side of the wine rack? I was going to say hi, or send over a bottle of Merlot, but I didn’t want to make an unwelcome interruption.

    How the blazes am I supposed to know? I don’t know what any of that means.

    And what the blazes are you doing in chicago?

    popa- Thanks for the help I saw you sitting there but felt stupid going over to you.

    onegoal: Why didn’t you get one of the waiters to go around to all the tables, and ask if anyone was popa bar abba, then have him point him out… 🙂 snap a picture and have it plastered onto ywn for all to see this famous popa…

    “I don’t know what any of that means”

    Sorry for not being clear. Merlot is a mid-range popular red wine, in the exact way that Chardonnay is not. An unwelcome interruption is when someone calls attention to themself or tries to demand your attention when you would prefer not to be distracted.

    I was in starbucks for hours today, and none of you came by. (well, there were a few frum people there, but nobody seemed to be popa seeking.)

    Gefen: I don’t know where you live. You knew where I was. The question is at you.

    popa – sorry – but like i said – i was at work today. try again on sunday. let us know whee you’ll be. actually i do know someone who went to shallots last night and then went to look for you at starbucks. i guess most ppl don’t just want to go over and say “hey – are you popa bar abba”?

    hee hee.

    There were two frum girls sitting right behind me, but it is even more inappropriate to ask someone if they are giggle girl or sem 20.

    Just so you should know, Popa, Sem20 is a guy.

    I was actually tempted to stop by, but I figured people don’t stay in Starbucks very long. Thought it would be a fool’s errand.

    I davened at the kollel again.

    I was hoping midwesterner might show up friday night, but I asked someone and he wasn’t there. (I asked someone from telshe if the baal koreh was there. He told me who the baal koreh is, and said he wasn’t there.)

    Hmmm! Appreciate getting noticed! But the Kollel is a bit of a walk for me, so I don’t go there often on Shabbos. Even though my 9-5 employer is the primary sponsor there.

    Hope you enjoyed your stay in town! Where you gonna be for selichos?

    popa – seriously we really need a minyan tomorrow shachris. Our rav has yartzeit and its sometimes hard to get a minyan. Would you be willing to come to rabbi goldzweig? It will IY”H be at 8 am. You can find the address in the acheinu i do not really know if they want me to post it on the internet.

    um popa – i never even tasted coffee and i don’t plan on it either. (i don’t want to get addicted!) so basically, it wasn’t me in starbucks. oh well.

    AND I WOULDN’T BE WITH SEM20! HE’S A GUY AND I’M A GIRL!

    Firstly, you could be dating him. (and I am now officially calling dibs on the chicago money for dates payment, if you ever do date him.)

    Secondly, WHY IN BLAZES SHOULD I THINK HE’S A GUY WHEN HIS NAME IS SEM20?

    There were two frum girls sitting right behind me

    That was me.

    Ok it wasn’t.

    Anyone up for a CR meet in Brooklyn? Is anyone else from the rest of the world even reading this thread anymore?

    methinks poppa hasn’t set foot in Chicago recently but still got all the chicagonians to run around town looking for him and reveal their identities here in the CR. Pretty cool. Joseph would be jealous. 🙂

    Actually, Popa is sitting in the same starbucks again. And will be here until about 4:00 PM.

    Then, I will be flying to Boston on the 6:00 flight. That is a blazes lot of flying. I’ll be in Boston for a couple of days. (Ok, not actually boston, but the surrounding area.)

    I am currently watching some frum looking guy sell a bunch of weirdos an energy MLM.

    And I thank L-rd that I have the ability to get a clean job and don’t need to get involved in shady businesses.

    So, if anyone comes by, I’m not the shady dude selling MLM’s.

    LOL – seriously – why would u sit there that long? my guess is either 1) ur really not there and just want to send ppl on a wild goose chase or 2)u are really waiting to be discovered by the cr.

    I guess you’ll never know.

    yeah – we’ve gotten a few phone calls about that already. we refuse to get involved in that. so don’t worry, if we come by we won’t try to sell you anything.

    so…other than white shirt, black pants, black hat – how can we know who you are?
