Shit! I've got another idea. What would a mixed drink called a Satoshi consist of?

It must be opaque; one must not be able to see through it to try to understand what makes it up. Many shall try, but none shall succeed.

Perhaps the drink contains some triple-sec because the Bitcoin logo resembles an orange?

hmm

How can we make a drink Satoshi likes if we don't now anything about him!? I'm having a difficult enough time trying to think of computer / alcohol puns.

Secret weapon back-ups?

We could put together a script that focuses on getting you a "meeting" for your visit to Chicago. Would something quick and simple like that be helpful? Or would you prefer to handle everything in person?

We could easily work both ends against the middle. Meeting in person just locks in the deal, therefore it's just not some Joe Schmo making contact over the internet. Email + Phone Call + Handshake = success, I believe. Let's see what I can get together by St. Patrick's Day. That'a a fair enough deadline.

What side of town are you planning of staying in, kjlimo? And what if we dyed the Chicago River orange this year. Orange beer?

Shit! I've got another idea. What would a mixed drink called a Satoshi consist of? Now this idea has legs, albeit week ones after a couple belts.

The map of locations accepting bitcoin is way too sparsely marked. Let's get it started in Chicago.

Rock on! I think you posted on my Cleveland thread I started a few months back that went nowhere.

I think Chicago is the size of market that we need to target. New York has at least one restaurant accepting bitcoins.

I will be in Chicago in March for St. Patty's day.

I guarantee I will take the party to wherever accepts bitcoins!!

I will see if I can get my friends in Chicago to register for this forum, get some bitcoins and join the cause!

Hopefully if Chicago is successful, I can expand this to Cleveland.

Please PM me if there's anything I can do from Cleveland to help you. I can try cold calling some stores/restaurants if you provide me a list of names/number that you are targeting.

Bitcoin: An Idea Worth Spending

I'll soon be trekking to Chicago to close the deal with Chicago Cabbie but, while there, I'm going to make forays to several eating establishments, in hope of interesting them into accepting Bitcoin. The list on the following site should be more than enough to keep me busy: http://chicago.metromix.com/restaurants/article/new-on-the-scene/163270/content

The goal is by summer's end to have several businesses in and around Chicago accepting Bitcoin. To help pull that off, though, I'll need the help of this community. All I'm asking is for you to state that you'll frequent such establishments if they were to accept Bitcoin. I would love to see a formidable list below. I've taken the liberty and imported the list from the Chicago Cabbie thread to seed it. Simply state in this thread that you'll frequent a business that accepts Bitcoin in or around Chicago at least once, and I'll add your name to the list below.

Bruno
altuin
bitcoinbitcoin113
the joint
kjlimo
Herodes
Yankee
squirrelman
DBordello
pekv2 (for Portillos)

I'm going to be working in conjunction with Tony with Bit-Pay to help pull this off. I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to say this, but he's got a secret weapon up his sleeve, one I know will help in closing the deals.
