Chicago! Live Blog?

Written By Chris C-Ford ---- Friday, August 17, 2007

I'm in Chicago! Cubs jerseys everywhere. Probably because I can see Wrigley field from this apartment. I didn't see any Bulls stuff at the Chicago airport, but at Dulles I saw a Wes Unseld and 2 Gilberts. (But its not even basketball season) I plan to keep updates of some of the following stats.

--Bulls Stuff--0
--Wizards Stuff--1 (my Property of General Motors shirt)

--Bulls Player Sightings--0
--Cops that looked like Karl Winslow--3
--Deep Dish Pizza's Eaten--0
--Fans Booing Alfonso Soriano (injured)--1
--Fans Cheering Alfonso Soriano--41,117
--Taxi Cabs--2,456

Going to the Cubs game today and to the Lake Michigan Air Show to try to find someone wearing at least a Jordan jersey.

I actually saw someone wearing a similar jersey to the poorly photoshopped one pictured in DC once. I think it was half red/white stripe bullets and half red Bulls, but I can't remember. Anyone know somewhere that sells it?

I went to the Cubs game. Wriggley is pretty neat. We bought standing room only tickets in the 5th inning for $25 each. ($12 Value). I saw clothing from just about every MLB team, and nothing NBA. There is a statue of Harry Caray in front of the stadium dunking a mic on some fans.The numbers didn't change but there is now a new category.

--Bars that take Credit Cards--0
--ATM Machines--857

"Mike Tyson bought someone's ear off. I don't know what all the hoopla was about. I've actually bitten a man's ear off on several occasions. And I'm not proud of it but it helped me out of many a jam."

Just hung out with some chicks. They said that Gilbert Arenas was a fake sounding name. They want to go to Wicker Park or Lincoln Park. I told them that it was a movie and a band. They said I was dumb, and whoever Gilbert Arenas was he is probably dumb also. Whatever. Still no Bulls gear.

LAST UPDATED 1:00am Saturday

Thousands of people at Lake Michigan for the air show. I saw a Stealth Bomber but no Bulls stuff. 1 Lastings Milledge jersey. I really can't believe it. In New York everyone has a Knicks jersey. I figured Chicago would be similar. It is not. (Its also not basketball season moron)


LAST UPDATED 5:00pm Saturday

Just when I thought I would see no Bulls jerseys (besides on NBA TV where every night is a Bulls playoff game) Asian Zero found a Ben Wallace at the airport! I wish I could have seen the crazy event. I did see an Arrington Redskins jersey. Oh well, back to the land of Arenas jerseys.
Maybe I should have posted backwards...whoops...

And every day's the 4th of July...

This weekend I will be going to Michael Jordan land. I'm not talking about Chinatown, I mean Chicago (the city, not the band or the Crosby, Stills, & Steve Nash song).

I'm hoping to see a lot of cool things like the statue of Jordan, the Sears Tower, and the house from Family Matters. I'm hoping to see some celebrities like Oprah, the Blues Brothers, Karl Winslow, James 'J.J.' Evans, or Kirk Hinrich (pictured kinda) who really has nowhere else to be.

Oooh Maybe I'll see a musical while I'm there. If only I could figure out which one would fit in with the city. Hmmm. Oh well I guess there aren't any that have anything to do with Chicago.

And before I leave, I would like to send a personal message to Gilbert Arenas. You're the meaning in my life...You're the inspiration...You bring feeling to my life...You're the inspiration... (this is a joke obviously)


If I was a hot dog, and I was starving, I would eat myself...
