Well, it's halfway between the airport and the bar, and I've got a big bag with me, so probably. I'll play it by ear, though.
Haven't you killed me enough for one day?

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

If you need a place to store your luggage at the bar, I'll be driving in, Tom--my trunk is plenty big enough, and I can give you a ride to the hotel afterwards.

How far is it from the Blue Line?

The status is NOT quo.
Scola's leaving us tomorrow!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Your hotel or the bar?

It's... not close. You could take the Blue Line part-way from O'Hare and then transfer to a bus or take a cab. Or you could take the Blue Line downtown, transfer to the Red line and come up North to the Sheridan or Addison stops, and walk from there (I'd guess then it'd be six to eight blocks).
Here's the CTA system map for the North side of Chicago: [link] The bar is on Ashland between Addison and Irving Park.

Here's what the CTA says:
>Walk 0.1 mile NE from O'HARE AIRPORT to O'HARE CTA (BLUE - O'HARE)
>Take CTA BLUE LINE TRAIN (BLUE LINE - SOUTHBOUND)
>Depart: O'HARE CTA At 05:36 PM
>Arrive: ADDISON CTA At 06:04 PM
Transfer
>Take CTA BUS # 152 ADDISON EASTBOUND
>Depart: ADDISON CTA BUS STOP At 06:12 PM
>Arrive: ADDISON & ASHLAND At 06:24 PM
>Walk 0.3 mile N to 3801 N ASHLAND AVE
I always forget how west the blue line runs.
(I just threw in 5:30 as a starting time - these trains and buses will be running about every 10 min at this time of day.) Coming from downtown I'd just take the red or brown to addison and jump in a cab - just since it's not likely to be very fun walking tomorrow.
