Chicago: More Bars in More Places

take fullerton bus to blue line @ california stop, take blue line the rest of the way

Take a bus west to the blue line.

Check in online (usually allowed 24hrs in advance) and print off a boarding pass.

xp: see?

Bob Cummings played Bob Collins, a swinging bachelor and a professional beautiful model photographer. In his leisure time, Bob loved the ladies and had frequent dates with those gorgeous women.

Yes - any westbound bus to a blue line stop is your ticket to O'Hare happiness.

Man I cannot imagine taking bus/subway to the airport if I had a lot of luggage.

Wuss.

Oh yeah - definitely print off your boarding pass from hom, and if you have to check bags, check in with the outside guys. It's like $2, but $2 not to stand in those long clusterfucky self check-in lines is the bargain of a lifetime.

Home. Print your boarding pass from home.

I did it in Seattle and got my knees groped by a tiny man who only spoke Spanish and REEKED of hard liquor and could barely stand up. When I hit his hand away he proceeded to complain about me to the lady in the other seat (who did not appear to understand Spanish) for about two miles. Give me the MTA any day.

Wuss.

Yeah, I guess! My drum case is really big though.

And I think you're still supposed to put all your liquids in < 4 oz containers and put them in one quart sized plastic bag, BUT when I flew to DE a couple of weeks ago, I totally forgot to pull my quart-sized bag out of my checked luggage and nobody said shit about it. So who knows.

The last couple times I've flown, security has been a crapshoot. Seems like sometimes they're chill about stuff, and sometimes they pull you aside and give you a full-body pat-down.

Sarah and I might drive to NC for xmas. It might suck, but holiday ticket prices are $$$$$$$$.

Plus, not as long a drive as when we drove to Va. a few months ago.

we're only going for a long weekend so hopefully not too much luggage. ok, will look into this bus thing, thanks for the advice!

good tip on the checking in at home. i just did, but it says we don't have assigned seats and when i looked at the seat selector thing, there are no seats left. should i be worried?

response from crazy possibly-stolen-bike-selling person from yesterday (after I asked what make and model the bike is):

HI, how would I know that, Bikes do not come with makes and model information written on them. I sell used bikes, I don't ask the auctions what year the bikes were made in, i just check them out and if they are worthy, I purchase them , that's pretty much the same thing you have to do. Check the bike out and if you find it worthy, you buy it. That's the way it works. thanks.

Colette - Are you flying Southwest? They don't assign seats. Otherwise, I don't know. I've never encountered that before. I would call and find out WTF is going on, were I in your position.

lol ChuckleBot

I want to slap bike dude.

Hi, I think I will go to Hot Doug's now, ok bye.

JEALOUS

OMG HOT DOUG'SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssss.............

Sorry. I'm hungry and I just ate my last two butter rum Lifesavers.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DO NOW?

Enh, I'd only be jealous if I knew he was getting meat sausage.

You're right Dan, the missed opportunity makes me more angry than jealous.

Fuck you guys I'm going to Weiner Circle.

(not really, but do you think you can get a hot dog without being called a motherfucker there during daylight hours?)

Yes - Wiener Circle only turns into Douche Palace after like 10.

The Frankenwurst: One-Half Pound of Pure All-Beef Pleasure with your choice of condiments

you crazy kids and your encased meats.

Bikes do not come with makes and model information written on them

what a moran

Spicy Smoked Alligator Sausage with "Remoulade" Butter and Smoked Gouda Cheese

I had this, it's pretty good.

Mexican Chorizo with Tomatillo Mole and Pepper-Jack Cheese
$6.00

Oh, I would do things to their chorizo.

don't play with your food, just eat it

I think for now I'll just have another cup of half-caff. I went nuts this morning and made half-strength coffee instead of decaf! I was feeling optimistic about caffeine's effects on me. So far, so good, but again I'm not the slightest bit hungry.

my friend who works at whole foods has been bringing the most amazing sausages to bbqs lately no homo ... last time was a chorizo one, and a blue cheese one, and some others i am forgetting

Further emailing with Ross

ME:
Oh cool. A friend just told me that this was you!!!

Way to be a shady character!
******************************

ROSS: Hi yes some idiot posted that about me yesterday just because I got tired of emialing him BACK AND FORTH AND ANSWERING ALL KINDS OF RIDICULOUS QUESTIONS. IT'S COOL YOU CAN BY INTO THIS CRAP IF YOU WANT. IT'S YOUR LOSS. I HAVE BEEN DOING BUSINESS HERE FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS AND MY REGULAR CUSTOMERS KEEP COMING BACK EACH YEAR BECAUSE I TREAT THEM FAIR. IT'S A SHAME TO BE SO NAIVE ON YOUR PART

Anyway take care and good luck finding another bike.
*************************

Hey Jesse. it's like I told you before , you are way too hung up on this frame size crap. it all depends on some minor adjustments to the bike that's all

Take care dude, and stop buying into this negative crap you read on craigslist. You do not even realize that you have just insuted one of the more righteous sellers on the list.

By now
****************

Hi Ross

Fuck off

Jesse

I'm not proud of that last part, but I got home from the bar and I spoke from my heart.

And yes, it was I who was into O de la H.

GOOD LUCK FINDING ANOTHER BIKE DUDE, CUZ I AM STEALING THEM **ALLL**

That's just insuting.

Haha. It's not something I should be emialing to a righteous seller.
