Pix, if you haven't found anything I could put the word out on FB - I can't promise anything, but several of my college classmates still live in Chicago.
Numfar! Do the dance of joy.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Yay, Aimee in New Orleans!

Our wings are not tired.
Dang it. My Chicago-area peoples have cats, too.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Nora and I are getting THE EMPRESS for our birthdays. I think what I'm trying to say is, nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I foresee lots of dancing and shenanigans.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Aimee and New Orleans seem MADE for each other.
And this talk of Chicago and places to eat reminded me of the time I was working at a conference there. A friend who'd lived in Chicago recommended a place near the hotel for really good pizza so I got a bunch of co-workers to go there telling them it had really good pizza. Not a one ordered pizza ... and the other food was mediocre.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My boss just got back from her vacation, so I could ask her about my vacation, and I now have vacation scheduled from Nov 8 to 13. I need to play with the flights still, but if I show up in Chicago on the 9th, what would be good hotel options?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
The River North area has a lot of options of various flavors. Several boutique-style hotels that I think might be up your alley like the James, the Felix, the Amalfi. (I've been inside the rooms in the James but not the other two.) Hotel Indigo and I think the Monaco are also in that general area and probably a bit less costly.
I like that area a lot for convenient access to shopping, restaurants, transport, nightlife. You don't want to be in the Loop proper on the weekend, because approximately nothing is open.
