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?
Nuuu? Popa, you’re not going to keep us up to date about your trip?
I am now sitting in Shallots with popa but I dont know who he is.
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.
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?
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.
squeak- You were there too? Or did you just visit there before?
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.
Say hello to my wife. She’s teaching at JDBY, right across the street! Maybe she’ll offer you some cupcakes for Shabbos!
i don’t live too far from there. u shud have come to say hi – except i was at work.
are you gonna be in chicago for any of the yomim tovim? ya gotta experience yom tov here!
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”?
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.
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?
so what’s ur schedule tomorrow? let’s have the whole chicago following you around! gonna be a fun day!
btw- u never answered my q – if my husband would have called shallots and asked for popa_bar_abba, would you have come to the phone? 😉
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!
Sheesh, you must’ve said “blazes” a dozen times in this thread. What is this, the great Chicago fire version 2.0?
sorry popa – i’m not dating yet. i’m not ready yet to start going out.
mods must be at slichos now – there hasn’t been an update in a while. guess we’ll have to wait till they get back.
Hey popa what you are not talking to me you did not answer my previos message 🙁
pba – yeah i know almost everyone there i used to go there and btw its meor hatorah. so any way you going to come and help with a minyan tomorrow.
PS info in post above
sorry didnt relize my mom was still signed in, the last post is really from me.
i am learning with a chavrusa
Learning bechavrusa and posting on the CR at the same time? What talent!
Reminds me of this thread from last week. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/davening-while-running-through-the-streets
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?
So, PBA, will I see you at 6:30 AM Selichos in Telshe?
Kapusta, the only one youll meet will be joey
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. 🙂
So which one are you?
who in the world sits in Starbucks for 4 hours??!!
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.
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?
