I really don't have time to be posting right now (or reading for that matter...), but I thought I'd share a bit of Chicago:

[livejournal.com profile] hellbob and I are going to Chicago for a weekend next month! :)
We've got tickets for a live taping of This American Life on April 19th, and so we'll be going out to spend the whole weekend.
It feels so utterly decadent though. Instead of driving to Chicago we are going to fly!
Southwest airlines just started doing Mpls-Chicago flights, and so it's only $100 each round trip. It's going to cost a little bit more than gas would have, but it's going to cut out over 10 hours of travel time, allow us to get a full night's sleep on Sunday, and I won't have to miss any work to drive there or back.
And there are Nibley's in Chicago!

Home...

Did you sense a great sadness in the force? Yes, the rumors are true and the HellPeeps have vacated the Windy City. We contemplated kidnapping the [livejournal.com profile] kniblet and bringing her home with us, but she wouldn't come without [livejournal.com profile] dibsy and he was at work.
We had a fantabulous time in Chicago and didn't really want to come back to the real world. At least I'm not working today so I'm going to just hang out at school and study for my test. Maybe wander down to Eli's in a bit for some lunch...

We had an incredibly yummy breakfast of freshly baked croissants and hot chocolate to start the day yesterday. The croissants were baked by a member of the U.S. Baking Team, no less. Who knew there was such a thing?
That was followed by a walk down to Lake Michigan.



After getting back from the walk, [livejournal.com profile] kniblet dropped [livejournal.com profile] hellbob & I off at the theater for Blue Man Group. The show was a lot of fun. Moose loved it too.
After meeting one of the Blue Men:



Moose decided to join them:




After the show we went to Oz park and found the brick that the Nibley had bought:



It was in front of the Scarecrow statue. Here are [livejournal.com profile] hellbob & me by the statue:



That was followed by our first Chicago Deep Dish pizza experience. Yum!

Then back to the apartment to change into our pajamas, drink some wine, and watch more episodes of Black Books.

Another wonderful day.

On schedule for today: The Zooooooooooooooo!

Chicago!

[livejournal.com profile] hellbob & I successfully found our way to Chez Nibley about two hours and two beers ago. It's quite a lovely house! :)
[livejournal.com profile] kniblet has been mis-hearing [livejournal.com profile] hellbob all night. She must have sex on the brain... "Super Mario Brothers" was heard as "Sperm-ario Brothers" and "Sesame Street" was heard as "Sex Mystery."

Besides all the pretty stuff I got from Amazon, I also how have plans for

Attack of the Nibleys 3: The HellHouse Invades!



Hee hee. [livejournal.com profile] hellbob and I have set a date to go visit Chicago. We will be leaving Minneapolis as soon as I get out of work on Friday, March 9th and getting to Chicago sometime late that night. We will then spend 3 1/2 glorious days doing Stuff.
No, we don't know what kind of stuff yet, other than the Blue Man Group. And then we'll be heading back home on Tuesday afternoon.

Are any of the rest of you out there on my flist in the Chicago area?
