On that note of getting things to people who asked them - Erin, I got the Israeli small change for M.'s coin collection. If you'll email me an address, I'll make sure to send them over.

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
P-C, I meant to respond to you earlier, sorry. ND will be in tech that whole weekend, so he will be busy. I don’t know yet if I’ll be in town--it’s a bit up in the air. I have your chocolates and will find a way to get them to you, but I don’t know if game night will work.
Aw, that's too bad.

If I’m in town, I’d be up for dinner regardless. I won’t know until next week for sure, though.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Shir, I defer to the Chicago-istas when it comes to planning. What would you like to do, and what do you already have covered?
When I was in Chicago last month I got to do many of the touristy things I had on my list (Millenium Park and the Cloud Gate a.k.a. "The Bean," the Willis Sears tower, the John Hancock Center, the river&lake tour, the Field Museum, the Shedd Aquarium), but I'd enjoy seeing them again. I didn't get to the Museum of Science and Industry, and I intend to remedy that.
I'm arriving Friday evening, and leaving mid-day Monday.
If Strix would like me to do courier duty, it would be no problem at all.

Okay, let me know.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Shir, while in Chicago, they have this new, um, attraction(??), I forget what building it is in, but, like 100 stories up, they built this plexi-glass tilt out thing, so you are leaning out over the side of the building at a 30º angle. They say it's an AMAZING view. Perfectly safe. Nobody has fallen yet. But, it's only been open a few weeks.

Maria, I have a swim thing that day in Culver City, but I certainly wish I could see you!

Shir, I'm available evenings of the dates you've listed. We should try to coordinate dinner. Perhaps at Chicago Diner? During the day, the best I could do would be to give you a tour of the theatre if you're interested.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

You assume I know things about Chicago. Never been there.
Well, here's what I know about it:
It's a city
It's in Illinois
It has Buffistas in it
The Afghan Whigs and the Twilight Singers played great shows there (I heard the bootlegs)
And... it's cold during the winter, right?
There. This is what I know about Chicago. I mean it when I say your country is very exotic to me.
