I know some Buffistas know of hotels in downtown Chicago that aren't terribly expensive. Scola, possibly? My sister and I are getting stuck planning a bachelorette party.

in total wah wah wah news. I was hoping to get baseball tix for Memorial Day weekend, but no such luck. Now I need a plan for entertainment - when does Speed Racer open?

The Best Western Grant Park and River North hotels are both in the $150 range, definitely affordable for downtown.

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

Speed Racer opens May 9.

hmm - it should still be open, right? Maybe that and a trip to the big park with friends.

lunch was unsatisfying - I should have had more salad and less rice.

I paid about that amount to stay at the Chicago Comfort Inn last year. Plus, it had complimentary breakfast with a Belgian waffle maker!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I wish I could remember the name of the budget hotel on LSD at (I think) Ontario. I thought it was a Days Inn but I've had no luck searching their site. I often heard it was suprisingly cheap but this would have been at least eight years ago.

The pictures are just surreal - you've got everyone in blue ponchos, with rows and rows of Coke bottles spewing Coke into the air....

It gave me a bit of a Hogwarts great hall vibe. Harry Potter and the geysers of fizzy stickiness.

They're great with waffles, but keep those guys away from your Mentos and coke!
