Lol, I should probably limit my number of new topics then, eh? The lists will get to people and then you'll all be "Oh sure you can come, we'd love[/] to have you." *everyone kills Tyler while he's sleeping* yup. Thank you though :) I'll be sure to stick around, or at least try to, and not be too much of a pain.

Considering Tyler's track record, I think he's more likely to kill than be killed. Or at least attempted killings. Or is your name Tyler as well?

I should probably buy bus tickets, huh. I will do that when I get my paycheck later this week. Also, have we figured out how much each person in the house owes? I seriously need to get my budget on. My car insurance bill kind of kicked my ass.

Does Chicago have good New Mexican places? There are cities with great ethnic food places and cities with none. Pretty sure NYC, for example, has a reputation as a city without much in the way of Mexican cuisine.

Popping in to say Chicago has shittons of Mexicans. I'm one of them, or at least half of one. I don't know specifically about "New Mexican" or "Tex-Mex" cuisine (my family regards Tex-Mex with scorn, never had it myself), as the food I regard as Mexican food is either common throughout Mexico or found particularly in Nuevo León and that sort of region. But there are multiple neighborhoods with significant Mexican communities, and plenty of places to find that sort of food to dine on or make yourself. Chicago is one of the largest Mexican communities in the United States.

Chicago is also the biggest Polish community outside of Warsaw, so if anybody wants Polish food or pastries there is plenty of that to be had. Other significant ethnic (and thus ethnic food) contingents are Greek, Italian, German, Indian, Chinese, Puerto Rican, and a smattering of Eastern Europeans. Lithuania and Ukraine I know for sure but I know plenty of people of Romanian descent. I just don't know where the major Romanian population center in Chicago might be.

or make yourself.

Another one of the many reasons that it sucks that I'm not going. Provided I could get my hands on a kitchen I could have forced a few of you guys to help me make tamales. They're a pain in the ass but the upshot is that the truly labor intensive part doesn't take any fancy equipment and can be safely done by a small child. 3 or 4 adults can bang out a ridiculous quantity of them very cheaply.

Well, um, if it's still happening, I'd like to go. I'm not sure how many of you would actualy want to spend a weekend in a house with me, or rather, would want me in the house, but if I can convince my parents (they're domineering and controlling like that) count me in. I guess that would mean I'm a maybe for house/attending.

Tyler, you made the same mistake as me, don't feel bad.

A lot of Polish foods were developed here though. Keep in mind that even chicken fried steak was most likely first made by Austrian immigrants. Wisconsin, Illinois and to a lesser extent, Minnesota are just swimming in Polish foods.

Started this post before I saw the above four, so I guess I'm just verifying what they say.

Does Chicago have good New Mexican places?

My neighborhood (Pilsen) has all the Mexican food you could eat, all at an extremely reasonable price. (And all places are BYOB.) In fact, Nuevo Leone is the first place I take guests - it's a 5 minute walk from my condo and is ridiculously good.

i just want to go to hot doug's and kuma's and a place with deep dish. also "who will help me make cupcakes? and what will make me help cupcakes?" -john "scott" walker, 2009

Be prepared to wait for 1-2 hours at Hot Doug’s. Dunno about Kuma’s. Giordano’s, Uno’s or Due’s are good places to go for deep dish.

Zingoleb and Tinytyler (that is your new name, to avoid confusion), please don't feel offended. When I first started thinking about going to this I had been here ages and still felt kind of new. I put out a couple of feelers and met up with some people near to where I lived and it was all very gradual. The problem isn't personal at all, it's the trust thing. Anyone can be anyone on the internet and we need to know for certain that the people who are coming are people we can trust. Primarily that happens through them having been met by other people. It's all very cliquey and maybe a little unequal but the facelessness of the internet means you have to be absolutely sure of who you're talking to, and that you actually want to spend two weeks with them (or however long, we're not all spending two weeks together on this one). Basically, don't take it too personally :)

And after that little lecture OH MY GOODNESS YOU GUYS I AM GOING TO ANOTHER CONTINENT NEXT WEEK.

It isn't possible for me to express how excited I am about this.

Grits actually makes plenty of sense, because originally it was ground-up corn cobs back when people didn't want to waste anything, and now it's a tradition (and also not made of corn cobs anymore, but just regular corn). But I know what you mean, and I don't really care for grits either.

But I don't understand how you can no like biscuits and gravy, unless you haven't tried it and you just think it looks nasty.

In case anyone was thinking of my suggestion for Mexican food, I just went tonight and it's pretty overrated.  Good food no doubt, but not nearly as good as those reviewers make it sound, and not worth making a trek for.

Sure I will, only I'll be calling it a scone.  Scones are not always hard here.  There is quite a range.  Han and I just bought some fresh scones from the bakery up the road.  We're gonna have them with thickened cream and strawberry jam.  Nom nom nom.

Someone better alert border patrol.  Allowing that woman into this country could be catastrophic.
