This taxi TV kept saying “here” as in “New York” and showing commercials for New York things like NYC OTB. Problem was, that I was in a taxi in Chicago.

Just a couple more photos from us walking over to bowling then afterwards crammed in a cab going up to Daily Bar & Grill. After getting something to eat there a bunch of people headed over to Carol’s for karaoke, but I opted to walk down to Roscoe Village with Jessica. She caught a cab home and I called it a night.

Blue Line Fire
July 11th, 2006 · No Comments
A Blue Line train derailled and caught fire. The train was shut down in both directions from Washington to Damen. The #56 bus, an alternate route, was packed and impossible to get on. This is everyone walking home on Milwaukee Avenue.

SMOKE! For the first time ever, it didn’t smell like chocolate by Blommer’s. It smelled like smoke. Is this where the Blue Line goes underground?

Smoke was pouring out of this vent. Is this where the Blue Line goes underground?

Holiday Party
December 11th, 2005 · No Comments
Dallas, Rachelle, Killian, Liz :: Renaissance Hotel, The Loop, Chicago
Liz & Killian :: Renaissance Hotel, The Loop, Chicago
Rachelle & Dallas :: Renaissance Hotel, The Loop, Chicago
Killian & Dallas’ company party this year was at the Renaissance Hotel. It was pretty much like a wedding: banquet room, sit down dinner, open bar, dj and dancing. We stayed til 10 or 11 and then went over to Alison’s holiday party in the West Loop.
The party was fine, the thing that sucked was getting there. I’d just gotten new party shoes and there’s like a half foot of snow outside I wasn’t about to walk in. We called for a cab and it never came, called back and it never came. We were trying to call 2 different cab companies over and over and the calls weren’t even going through. Finally Dallas went over and walked to the cab stand about 5 blocks away. There weren’t any cabs there and there was a line of people waiting for something to show up. Somehow he got lucky and found a cab on the street then swung by and picked me up ont he way to the party.
