Meanwhile, looks like Craigslist Missed Connections readers have decided to emerge from behind their computers for drinking:

Join other starry-eyed optimists who read Craigslist MC's...
Wednesday evening at DUFFY'S
420 West Diversey, Chicago
starting at 6:30 PM.

So e-mail your friends, spread the word, come to Duffy's Tonight and introduce yourself to all the (opposite sex) with reckless abandon.

As a bonus: This party was reserved at Duffy's with FREE DOMESTIC DRAFT BEER from 6:30 until 8:30 PM.

This might intrigue me, if I didn't hate Duffy's. I wonder how many missed connections will be posted the next day about this event?
