It's actually been unseasonably cool here (I live 1.5 hrs northwest of Chicago, in Wisconsin, right near the border, and would be there, but I'm going on a road trip out west with a bunch of friends)...this really isn't hot. Most summers it gets up to above 90s (32oC) at the end of july/early august..course, then it gets down to -10  (-23oC) in the winter.

Johnny take the eL. You are coming from O'Hare, right? Take the blue line in toward downtown and then change at Washington for the red line to go north or probably Lake or something for the other lines? I don't remember exactly. I guess I could look it up but meh.

There's like three different places. I always used to take Washington to catch the red line up to Howard and then to Linden, I think.


Edit: Hey so I looked it up. Washington doesn't have a changeover place to the red line anymore! Those fuckers changed it on me. Fuckers. I remember it being under construction but why would they do that? Makes no sense.

Posting from Dennis' while he is ~doin work~ and I gots the following to say.

  • BBGS is a yes, and I'm going to be doing karaoke tonight as well at a place called Alice's nearby. (or Dennis says it's nearby. A cursory Google reveals a bunch of places are named after Alice. She must have been popular or talented.) Should be plenty of time after the concert to go sing Meat Loaf or whatever.
  • Uhhhh aren't Joan of Arc tomorrow night?
  • My phone seems to be behaving selectively with regard to who it will and won't text and how it will text them - sometimes I need a 1, sometimes I don't, sometimes I need to perform an arcane and powerful dark majick ritual in order to get it to text, and even then it won't work! You hear me, Satan!? you're welcome for all the blood i didn't need to spill across your black altar
  • I got no dinner plans but I gotta figure somethin out? I guess? Wonder what a good place to eat would be tonight.

I was planning to stop by the Apple store tomorrow to pick up an iPhone (I've been putting off doing so for some reason, and yesterday I realized there's no good reason I haven't gotten one already) so I figure while I'm about and downtown might be a good time to meetup.

Now I feel bad about not hanging out last night.  I didn't think I could because I had work the next day, but once at the office people registered surprise because I wasn't coming in today and would be in tomorrow.  doh

Anyway, this means that I could hang out during the day with anyone still in Chicago (hint hint johnny.)

So I remembered too late that for some reason it takes a millenium for texts from me to reach Tommy's phone, and he's the only person whose number I have of those still in Chicago. I sure hope someone checks the internet, or else I won't get to see people today before they leave.

Edit: Okay, problem solved. Also I totally forgot but I have Johnny's number too, so whatever.

Emilio, I still have your book and planner, so pm me your address and I'll send those to you along with more candy.

Also here's a sum up of my trip home: Greyhound stations are depressing, my first leg was overbooked so people were standing, and the second leg of the trip had two noisy ass kids, one of which puked in her lap. Great trip! Really great! (Everything else was pretty great. I am at work now and it's raining and blah.)

Also, I just uploaded photos, but they were all from when a few of us were at the zoo and Millenium Park. (Mostly just because Tommy wasn't there to take all the photos.)

See the lack of pounctuation made me think you were making a joke about how the people own the other people. I do not know if this was intentional but anyway the order you wrote the names in makes it pretty believable.
