OT: Chicago field trip, late tonight...
In November, 2000, the radio show This American Life condensed twenty-four hours of life in a Chicago neighborhood 24-hour cafe into a one-hour show. This cafe was the site of notable quantitative experiments demonstrating that rotating pies sold significantly better than static ones. We may wish to independently corroborate their results using the same data source. I propose that we conduct this experiment at midnight, tonight. The Golden Apple cafe can be reached on the El, Chicago's elevated railway: http://www.transitchicago.com/maps/maps/F2003N.html Wellington on the Brown Line or Scheffield on the Purple Line (same station). The This American Life radio show, with a textual abstract and full version in Real Audio: http://207.70.82.73/pages/descriptions/00/172.html A restaurant review: http://entertainment.metromix.chicagotribune.com/top/1,1419,M-Metromix-Resta... And a driving map, in case you don't like the train: http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&ct=NA&1y=US&1a=540+north+michigan&1c=chicago&1s=il&1z=&1ah=&2y=US&2a=2971+N.+LINCOLN+AVE&2c=chicago&2s=il&2z=&2ah= If folks like, they can meet in the lobby of the Marriott at 11:20pm. -Bill
