As we say here...
YEAH YOU RIGHT.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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

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?

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.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I stayed at the James the last time I was in Chicago, and it was wonderful.

Punishingly Intricate

We love the Monaco. Bob stays there all the time for work and it's really nice and convenient to stuff.
