Have to go downtown for dinner Friday night for my fiance's friends bday or some nonsense. Not looking forward to that.
friday doesn't seem like it will be too bad. sunday and monday are going to be a mess. the woman is getting monday off paid. the people in her office that are required to go in are getting paid time and half.
hopefully they don't fuck shit up too bad, but it could get ugly.

Yeah, we'll just take the el downtown, but we'll have to keep an eye out for all those protesting hippies.
A couple of my friends that work in the loop are being forced to either work from home or not come in at all Friday and Monday.
What's the agenda for this thing? Kicking Greece out? Iran/oil prices? Fixing the Cubs anemic offense?

Those heads of state need their space 81! They cant be bothered by everyday Chicagoans. Sounds like the amazing DNC we hosted back in 04 where they shut down 93. Enjoy!

A bunch of jobless assholes protesting and making things difficult for those that actually work and pay taxes.
That is a bold statement. I guarantee there's a a variety of people who believe in what they are protesting and will participate.
The majority of protesters won't have a clue why they are protesting. Did you see the major white trash in Bridgeport last night protesting police abuse? 75% of them had a bandana around their face so they could riot on a drop of a hat if they wanted. If your gonna be a pain in the ass at least know why, and don't hide your face.....

Yeah I saw those pictures from Bridgeport last night...surprised that didn't turn into a huge mess.
I just think classifying all the protestors as "jobless assholes" is bullshit.
How do you know what the make-up of all the protestors are? You went down and performed a data analysis? you made assumptions from some pictures or T.V. reports or what you may have seen from driving by.
I'm all about peaceful protest but comments like this just make you a contributor to the problem and as big of an asshole as anybody.

So I'm an asshole for having an opinion? I don't mind peaceful protests, but situations like the one this weekend in Chicago always seem to turn into more harm than good. And it will be directly impacting me, so yes, I'm not too happy about it.
where is neily at....he needs to come pick up his friends.
Occupy protesters from New York wake up across the street from the Woodlawn Mental Health Clinic this morning. (E. Jason Wambsgans, Chicago Tribune / May 18, 2012)
Praying that the Kennedy won't be closed this afternoon on my drive back home to the city. There will be intermittent closures between o'hare and downtown this weekend. That is going to cause a fucking disaster. I may just avoid the highway completely....I think I would have a complete meltdown if I got caught in that.

you take 94? might be worth getting off before you get to 90....but then you'll have to deal with surface streets.
you are fucked either way.
why are they even having it here? isn't this why we have DC?
it would suck to be a small business downtown. the woman's office is closing, resulting in lost reveunue all weekend, plus they are paying the staff for monday when the office is closed.
and why aren't they using a helicopter to shuttle these people from ohare to downtown vs making life miserable for everyone else.
