I could be wrong, and there's no way to find out, but iirc mh said he had previously stayed near you at the hotel in RP, and not that he is staying there on this visit.

Oh, I understand that misunderstanding! Yes, sadly my friends moved from there long ago, but on the bright side, I will probably crash in a different hotel.
That is, unless I pull that trick where you just take your suitcase to the bar on Monday night and try to talk my way on to someone's couch / into someone's bed
;)

Jeff was the only ILXor I managed to hook up with in NYC. Max and I coquettishly traded texts, but nothing came of it.

You smarty pantses probably already know this (especially Askance J) but the next book in Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall trilogy is coming out soon - Bring Up the Bodies. I'm excited to get it as an e-book because Wolf Hall is the book that finally tipped me over into the pro-e-book camp after I lugged the hardback around Chicago for however long it took me to read it.
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Wednesday, 2 May 2012 12:42 (fourteen years ago)
Thanks for reminding me, I've been meaning to pick up Wolf Hall for some time.

If I stayed in a cheap hotel near the Jarvis stop in Rogers Park, how many of you would say "That's close enough"?

(and no one else) but if you like quiet lakeside relaxation and easy access to red line and bus (but about 45 min from downtown on a good day) it is the place for u
― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Thursday, 3 May 2012 18:36 (fourteen years ago)
Lucky you! Anyway trip is still 50/50, might be around July 4.
I would not be hitting downtown as much as Big Chicks, and I guess venturing to the South Side for baseball as the Cubs aren't home that week.
― World Congress of Itch (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 3 May 2012 18:38 (fourteen years ago)
well then it's a fine place to stay and sox stadium is long commute, but def possible from there. i used to work right off that stop, just get a lot of reading done on the train.

also hella nursing homes
and a frank lloyd wright house!
I said almost the exact thing LL did so, yeah. The one thing I said that she didn't is that Big Chick's is 8 stops south of Jarvis, and many of those are close together so it's a quick ride.

Jarvis is about 6 blocks from another good gay bar, The Glenwood, which is at Morse. (probably good, i've only been there once, but it had a definite Big Chicks kind of easy-going vibe)
A, is that mural near Morse?
― Pita Malört (Je55e), Thursday, 3 May 2012 20:19 (fourteen years ago)
no, it's by the lake -- they redo it every year and this year's theme was "dreams", hence michael steele and his one giant eye urging us to "have a dream" it's right by where we're going to picnic on sat if the rain holds off!
