I also loved the boat tour I took--great way to see different parts of the city.

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Sorry, I really should have been following this thread much earlier. Anyway, I'm trying not to be anti-social, so I'm up for whatever while Shir is here.

OK, here goes:
I will arrive to O'hare at 12:30PM tomorrow. I thought of having lunch there, so if anybody wants to join me there (or suggest another alternative), just say so. I'll get to brenda's whenever she'll say is convenient.
Museums are nice. local stores are great, so is art and food (food! I heart food). I do want to check Sephora for a lipstick that was recommended by Buffistas (Makeup Forever's Aqua Rouge), and I want to buy a Kindle too. I still need to find 2-3 plays from the New Swan Shakespeare for my dad, and a Thermos for my sister.
However. My main interest is seeing Buffistas. Whatever we'll do, watch, or eat, I'm sure we'll have a great time.
Brenda - the only thing I'm not entirely sure about that benefit is the gambling. I'm not very much into it, and wondering what I'll do there all night.

I love that Shir is planning a trip to Sephora. Gotta love us!

I'm fairly available evenings and weekends while Shir is here and up for some adventures and/or food.
Shir, if you want to drop by my office for a free lunch on a weekday, let me know. My office is downtown near shopping.

Yes, shrift. I'd love that, thank you.
Just got back from a day out with smonster. She got me drunk during daytime, took me to an art museum, and we ended up listening to live brass band. I highly recommend NOLA with Nora and smonster to anyone.

It took Buffistas to make a woman out of me. I have no regrets. I just want more.

Cool. I just sent you an email with details.

I'm glad you had a great New Orleans day! I'm sad that I couldn't join you. Stupid work. Well, not stupid, I love my work, but getting more and more of it means I actually have to do it. I have actually not even been going out for American Craft Beer Week, I'm working through the nights as well.
Anyway! Chicago! Yes. I second the boat tour idea that Lee mentioned, and that's pretty much all I have, since everything else I did last time I was there was beer related. Oh, wait, doughnuts! There were some really delicious doughnuts in Chicago.
Is it Chicago Beer Week this week or next week?

Since I've got all day Saturday to schmooze, I'm up for anything: food, museums, shopping (I can window shop like a boss.) The only place I really want to make a stop at is a Lush store. Need to restock desperately.

Punishingly Intricate
Is it Chicago Beer Week this week or next week?
It's this week! We just missed some crazy beer shenanigans at the bar in the Hotel Monaco where Bob stays all the time. The head bartender there is a ciccerone (the beer equivalent of a sommelier) and he had some great things going on. (And Bob is such a regular there that he now drinks for free when the head bartender is working.)
Instead we are in Michigan visiting family and mushroom hunting and the mushrooms are NUTS this year! They are crazy prolific and huge. So, I'm not so sad to be missing the beer week.
