Chicago is fucking awesome.

The hotel is frighteningly cool. We have a view of the lake. We've been up since 5.30am and left for breakfast at 7am.

Yesterday we walked about six miles along the banks of the lake, along the beach and lake wall and all the way up to get my tattoos. The tattoos themselves are awesome. Jay is such sweet girl - she gave me a free vest top and took pictures of my tattoos for her collection. They haven't even scabbed up, yet. I hope they heal better than the stars did. She was kind of freaked out when she saw that one, but I think it'll be fine after I have it touched up.

We're planning on finding a Hot Topic today, before we meet up with musictoyourlips. We have teensy presents for the people we're meeting - including a tiny one for HRE. We bought a packet of five crown jewel chocolates, so they all get a crown each! Haha.

I just can't believe the place. It's so pretty - really, really like Vancouver on growth hormones. The lake is so beautiful - I never really expected it to be this huge and I can't quite comprehends that the water is a lake, rather than an ocean. You can't see the other side, even from our hotel room on the 12th floor.

Across the road from us is Navy Pier which looks lovely at night, with all the lights on (in Chicaaaaaaaaaaaaaagoooooo...)

There is a bit of a problem in that our tickets haven't arrived, yet. We emailed Leanne, and I just texted her to let her know. We're trying not to panic, and just assuming that they'll put us on the guest list or something if they can't get them here in time.

I swear, they'd better make sure we do get them, though, or there's going to be hell to pay.

But yeah, we love this place. It is absolutely beautiful. I kind of want to live here, too, now. Not that they'll have me unless I marry someone... so. I think I'd better go start stalking Patrick, really...

You are so lucky! XD I've never been to Chicago, though I hope to go someday. You're going to post pics of your tats eventually, right? :-D

Oh, and when you stalk Patrick, can you throw my name out there to the Wentz? It'd be much appreciated ;-p

You're in Bandland! I'm so excited for you. I also demand pictures of tattoos.

Hope everything goes wonderously.

I remember really liking Chicago, and being sad that we only got a long weekend there. It's incredibly strange; I know it's a VERY major city, but at the same time it felt like you could get to know and love it in such a short space of time.

I think it had a lot to do with the lake, for me. I also couldn't comprehend that it wasn't the ocean (almost as much as I couldn't comprehend that where I was kayaking the other day was). I know that I will always need to live near the water, and Lake Michigan really felt enough like the sea to satisfy me.

Have fun, dude. You'll love that place even more than you do right now by the time you go home.

Awesome.

Though, Vancouver > All.

I'm glad you're enjoying your stay.

Have I told you my cousin Lindsey is moving to Chicago in August? She's going to graduate school there.

ooo! i love chicago!!! i've not been up there in a couple of months, but i always love to do so when i get a chance. the only thing that sucks is that it's INCREDIBLY cold in the winter, cause of the breeze coming off the lake. hence why they call it the 'windy city'... it truly is. there is a ton to do up there though, and i adore how it looks at night. i hope you will be posting pics!!!
