    Originally from Brookfield, Mr. Bliss, Sauganash.

    Live in Wheaton now but counting down the years until we can move back to Greektown (vanBuren and Green).

    Spend a lot of time in downtown Geneva and St. Charles.... avoid downtown Naperville like the plague!

    No kidding. I'm actually shocked that there are two other TC'ers in LS. Such a small world.

    i used to live outside of Downers Grove in a suburb called Darien...
    i was there from 1991-1993...
    Great years for myself and PJ now that i think of it...
    I turned 21 in 1993 so it was so much fun...The chi town night life...21 yrs old...not a care in the world..
    Besides Seattle...there was no better place to live in the world than Chicago when
    Jordan and the Bulls were winning there championships...it was pretty amazing...
    I cried my eyes out when i had to go back to Omaha, NE...
    obviously though...thank goodness i did or i wouldn't be with the wife and kids i have today...

    Were you my seat buddy at West Palm Beach in 2008?

    Yup! Hi Gina! :D

    Hi Brandon. Nice talking to you. I hope everything is going good. Looks like I missed seeing you in St. Louis in 2010. We were there - great show too. Maybe, just maybe they will pass through St. Louis again on tour next year [fingers crossed].

    Yes, I have definitely avoided shopping at Woodfield this month. Unfortunately, I work right by Woodfield (Golf and 53) and live on the west side Schaumburg, so I have to drive through all the Christmas shopping traffic after work.

    Small world! I work at Algonquin and 53 and it's a hop, skip, and a jump to my house. The traffic is as crazy as ever this year. Are you as stoked as I am about the new Bdubs on Meacham?!

    Stevenson here as well. Wow...Michaels, that brings back some memories.

    I bought most of my early Pearl Jam collection a short walk from there over at Paradise Records.
