Quite possibly with their wangs out?

I'ma be in Chicago Sunday. WE SHOULD TOTALLY HANG OUT AND BE BEST BUDS FOREVER
 
Chicago was the stopover on my way to Germany and back. On the trip that ended in my getting dumped. It's a city that brings back bad emotions for me.

Ass. :angry:
 
I might be down. I'll have to check my work schedule. I think I'm working most of the day, but I'm honestly not sure off the top of my head.
 
I think Juski's stuck at school this weekend--I believe they have finals next week. Unless, of course, he's willing to make a 3.5 hour drive to see the fabulousness that is me. Oh, and DD too, I guess.

Yeah, if you were down in Central IL things might be different :p Otherwise, you came a week too early!

(Let me know of what area you are in and what bars / activities you should do in my absense :) )

I miss Chicago. It was a lovely city with fantastic pizza and architecture. Plus I'd love to see em turn that river green.
 
Chicago is definitely on my top list of favorite cities I've had to pleasure of visiting, though I saw very few sights and mostly a motel room the entire time I was there..... :twisted:

I honestly have no idea where in Chicago I'm going to be. We're staying with a friend in Ohio, driving to Chicago for a Final Fantasy concert (Rosemont Theatre I believe?), then staying at this hotel:

5460 North River Road
Rosemont, IL
United States, 60018

Sunday is our "explore Chicago" day and I'm meeting up with another 'net friend, which is already convoluted enough BECAUSE I'M A COUNTRY BOY IN FUCKING CHICAGO but it might be neat to see a Halforumite for a bit if time allowed. :D

Chicago was terrible. No desert, shrubs, or lack of people. Everything was fucking concrete, glass, or people. Almost as bad as forests and grass.

You must be from Hawaii.

I've only been to the Chicago airport. I'll get there eventually. As for kick-ass cities, Boston was great.
 
I go to Boston every quarter for work. It's very cold half the time.

I got to take the family last time. Really enjoyed the Freedom Trail together...and of course introducing my wife to a cannoli from Mike's Pastry.

I went in June, so the weather was nice. I'm sure the winters aren't fun. North Boston does has some fantastic pastry shops.

I've never been to the States. Partly because international flights cost an arm and a leg, partly because I fear I would end up in argument and get beaten up for being "leftist" or "Euro trash".

My wife's cousin married a guy from your town and live there now. They come back a couple times a year and, as far as I know, he doesn't get insulted any. And that's in the south.

That doesn't help the cost issues for you though.

Only if you go south of the Mason-Dixon line.

Are you staying in that hotel on Sunday night as well? That's actually a lot closer to where I live than is downtown Chicago. Even if I am closing at work, I doubt it would be past 8:15 or so... if you wanted to grab a late dinner, let me know. I'll check my schedule tonight.
 
Going to the Distant Worlds concert? Good show, saw it last year.

I'm way over by the other airport, unfort.

I don't see that happening either Ranger. I think at most they would roll their eyes and make some sort of pinko leftist joke. You're white so you have that going for you. You'd probably have to explain where Finland is dozens of times.

I'd meet you though. You seem laid back and can enjoy a beer. I'm open to all kinds of food so you could introduce me to a lot and I would do the same for you. I know where all the good stuff is here in Tucson. There are several people I'd meet from Halforums. I've only met a few people from the internet. The last one was a WoW guildmate that lived in Phoenix and was considering going to the university here. So she came down and a few of us took her to lunch.

People let me know if you're gonna be in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario for any reason.

Like seriously.

Yeah. Only mostly.

And it would be for being a dirty foreigner, not either of those other things.

This winter I plan to make it to both NYC and Chicago.
Yeah, that's right, in the winter. Because I'm dumb.

Or, you know, not. I know according to Hollywood we're all a bunch of gun-toting, sister-fucking rebel flag saluting retards. But really, most people in the south would probably just shrug it off as interesting at worst. The ones who would hate you are pretty far and few between. The ones who would actually do something are even far rarer.
