Gilhooleys would be a place you call ahead an warn 'em you're coming and they'll take care of you. Would be the closest decent option.

If you're staying downtown I think it's about a $35 uber ride down to st. xaviers. I would suggest going over to Western Ave in between games. South of 103rd you got rhino bar, barneys or cork & kerrys.

i have confidence in you, sd.

also, should clarify some of the benefits more. On top of 100k MR points that are worth at least $1k even if you just book flights through Amex (and a lot more if you transfer to the right partner):

Tell me more about the "lot more if you transfer to the right partner" part...

like, if you transfer 9k MR points to British Air you can fly RT on American Air from Kansas City to Chicago. That's probably not an expensive RT flight but say $350 on an average day? That's 3.9 cents per mile. Amex will book any flight anywhere for you at 1 cent per mile but you get real value by transferring to their partners and booking awards that way. There is a much larger pain in the ass factor in doing so though, and you have to make sure award availability is there, etc. I love doing stuff like this so it negates a lot of the PITA factor for me though.

At 1 cent per mile with Amex, how do they compare to "retail" prices with American, for example, using American frequent flyer miles obtained from flight?  Does Chase UR similarly have good value booking through them, or is Amex is the best at this?

If you like to transfer MR to BA, you might want to move some before the end of the month. The transfer rate is being devalued on Oct 1st. Going from MR1000:BA1000 to MR1000:BA800.

Can you expand on this? Ever had any US pizza that was fairly close to it?

Hey guys and gals, anybody order pizza last night? I did, so I thought I would join a pizza message board to talk about it.
