    Texas is a little out of the way but a very good suggestion, plus I really wanted to see Colorado and Utah. This is going to take some planning and I hate planning. Saw Milwaukee and liked the city a lot actually. Damn you 81.

    that wouldn't be a bad deal...

    fly in sat am
    party all night sat
    sober up sunday am
    sight see something sunday afternoon
    hawks game sunday night
    mon, tue, wed explore, muesum, pizza...whatever...
    thrusday cubs game
    friday brewers game
    sat/sun mosey to colorado
    monday catch the rockies
    tuesday motor to vegas
    wed vedder.


    I'm tuesday and Wednesday for Vedder though. I need to grab some beers and think about this! :lol:


    as luck would have it.....the rockies game on the 9th is an afternoon game. game should be over by 4 local time and it's about a 12 hour drive to vegas from denver. very doable. plus...it's also the rockies home opener....so you could hit 3 home openers...how cool would that be.

    I hear you - I love Vegas intensely but was there for 9 days last March...bad idea! There's tons to do in Chicago, you could easily stay here for a couple days to a week and not get bored. I'm sure there's lots of really awesome places to stop on the way too...take the lesser traveled roads and really see what's out there!


    9 days in Vegas?!?!? And you're still alive??? I can barely handle 3 nights in Vegas. I couldn't imagine being there for any longer than that.

    Three days is the perfect amount. 2 is too short and four leads to problems and issues. :lol:

    Well the first 5 days I was at a convention so didn't really get to leave the convention hall at all. 9 days of pure Vegas would kill me!

    thanks man! sure does suck.

    i'd rather not leave the complex i am in now, but the landlord is raising my rent $400 a month :o:o

    damn you chicago and your no rent control laws. in nyc, they legally can't raise your rent more than like 5% annually. chicago.... not so much.

    Which, in NYC, would be about $400.
    Sorry. The world doesn't work the way you tell it to.

    I have experience in hanging shower curtains.

    Sorry to burst any bubbles! :lol:

    Damn! That is brutal. What area are you living in now where they are raising the rent $400? My lease is coming up at the end of July so I'll be on the apartment hunt soon too. I hate moving.

    right now i am currently in the loop. when i moved out here from new york 14 months ago, the building i moved into was brand new, so they were offering really good deals just to fill the building. and now they are sky rocketing everyone's rent up to "market value" which doesn't make sense because all of the apartments in my immediate area aren't charging nearly as much as they want. isn't that your market value?

    so i found a place a mile from where i am. i think it's considered river north.

    That sucks. Nice that you found a place close to where you're at now. River North is great....lots of good bars/restaurants.

    totally like the river north area. i work in the loop and don't have a car, so i have to live somewhere where i can walk or take the CTA.
