Literally and figuratively! Miss M (fellow LBS student at Stern this term) and I flew up to Chicago to visit the LBS gang there for the weekend. And it was so cool! Chicago's such a great city (although I'm not sure I could live there, it gets soooo cold), and we had loads of fun. Saw a comedy show at Second City (which was very interesting: we couldn't understand all the jokes since they were about American people we didn't know, and the ones we thought humourous didn't make any of the Americans laugh), had drinks with Poweryogi (nice to see you again sweetie!), visited the Kellogg campus (hosted by the wonderful Mr N and Ms F), did a Segway tour of Chicago (which rocked!!! Can highly recommend it), visited the Art Institute (where I loved this exhibition called So the Story Goes, which had some awesome photography in it), had deep pan pizza, went to the Kingston Mines Blues Club, and then after only two hours of sleep, I was back on a plane to NYC.
On my way back, I saw some corporate communications which I thought were awesome. My Airtran flight left from a gate that is set apart from the rest of Midway airport, and you have to take a little hike to get there. Airtran has cleverly solved the hike with the following:
I thought they were brilliant! They take away the uncertainty of 'am I going in the right direction?', and 'how much longer is it going to take?' and 'boy, this really is the sticks!' in a very humorous way. Big thumbs up for Airtran!
Right, off to do some homework now, the term has heated up a bit in terms of work, and I'll be out of town from Thursday til Sunday.
I like the pink jacket you're wearing and where on earth did you get the python sized white muffler? :) kidding, of course.
That sounded like one helluva trip!

You're having way too much fun in America. I'd hate to see you not come back...
