With the Cubs in the shitter, maybe now would be a good time to announce Thunderfist 2010.  To those unfamiliar with Thunderfist, the whole thing originated back in 2008 during the salad days of TMS.  Basically it's a multiday event where a good number of the bloggers here meet up in Chicago for a Cubs game and various other bouts of tomfoolery and assgrabbery.  So who all is attending Thunderfist you ask?  Oh, you didn't ask?  Well I'm telling you anyway shithead.

Including myself, appearances will be made by T.R., Chaim Witz, White Chili, Goreo, Wolter, John, Surplus Ben, and maybe some other less than savory characters.

Here's a look at a rough agenda for Thunderfist.

FRIDAY

9:00am - Thunderfist 5K.  As of right now only T.R., White Chili and myself are committed to running this event.  Chaim may run but that remains to be seen.  The route starts on the river near Wacker and Michigan Ave and goes east the lake and then south along the lakefront before turning around and coming back to the starting point.

12:00pm - Half Gallon Milk Chug - CANCELED.  White Chili has forfeited and thus I win by default.  That is unless someone else comes forth to challenge me.


1:20pm - Cubs vs. Pirates.  We have decided to take in this game at the humble little watering hole known as Wrigleyville North.  Anyone wanting to join us is most welcome to come and have some beers as we blah out the memory of what surely will be yet another disappointing Cubs loss.

Aftergame - Once the game is over the plan is to adjourn further north up to the Hop Leaf to grab some grub and drink some kick ass beers.

After that who knows what will happen....

SATURDAY

If Friday seems a little subdued, it's because we're pacing ourselves for the drunken debacle that is surely to follow on Saturday.

9:00am - Meet up at Wrigley to get tickets at will call and go wait in line for the bleacher gates to open.  NOTE: As of right now I still have two tickets available.  I'm probably just going to sell them on the street so if someone wants them let us know and we can arrange something.

12:05pm - Cubs vs. Pirates.  Paul Maholm vs. Ryan Dempster.  Let's go CUM DUMP!

Aftergame - Immediately following the game we will adjourn to the Gingerman Tavern, the official Wrigleyville bar of EOC.  Again, anyone is invited to come meet up with us.  The first person to show up and yell "WHAT'S AN ENCHILADA?" will get a beer* on me.

From there we will go wherever the day/night takes us.....

You will be able to follow the latest happenings during Thunderfist via the EOC Twitter at http://twitter.com/exileonclark.  I will be giving various updates throughout the two days and will post our location whenever it changes.  Oh yeah, I guess I should mention, EOC is on Twitter if you didn't know already.

*beer may be substituted with a shot of Malort without notice.
