I spent this past weekend in Chicago visiting friends and we had a helluva time. Thankfully I actually made it, considering over 400 flights were cancelled into O'Hare - precisely why you must always fly into Midway - due to severe weather conditions... as if my fear of flying couldn't get any worse. It's really gotten out of hand. I am about as superstitious/OCD as it gets in my pre-flight routine, which probably explains all of the weird looks: Step on with the right foot while giving the plane two little love taps, find a window seat on the left side but never on the wing or in aisle 13, two spritzes of Rescue Remedy Spray, fall asleep before takeoff.... Yeah....
I used to also be a big supporter of Southwest Airlines, but that all came to a screeching halt when I was woken up by a stewardess singing over the intercom. Extremely rude.
Things were lookin' up after that nonsense was over. We hit up some old favorites - like good old Maxbar, the most fun late night slopfest you've ever had in your life - and ventured into some new spots - Lion's Head Pub/The Apartment, McFadden's. (**note: I have only provided links to these places after confirming that I'm not anywhere in the photo galleries) Most bars close at 2am instead of 4am there which is weird; and there is a serious lack of places to get food at that hour so yay for you Buffalo! But if you're ever in the area, which I hope you get to be at one point or another in your life, each of those places has my personal stamp of approval.
Oh by the way, it was freezing cold.
