DA Bears

So I headed out to Chicago with my wife and my two of my best friends Tony and Tonya last weekend. It was just an escape from Cleveland that was well needed. We stayed at a Hampton Inn by the airport. My god were those beds the most comfy thing I have slept on in a long time. We first went off Friday night to see this play called "Bye Bye Liver". Wow that shit was so funny. We got super drunk too. They incorporated a drinking game in with an actual play about how people act when they are ridiculously drunk. Absolutely hilarious show! We then made our way back to the hotel some how with dying phones and being wasted. Kathysauras Rex and Tonya Rex were in full effect to make the matters even funnier. Public transportation is a money saver but would be super hard to learn if you didn't have Gmaps on your phone. Sooo I'm kinda glad the only nice local I met gave us directions to the bus stop we needed.

The next day we woke up and ventured off to the Aquarium called the Shed. Before we arrived there we saw the Polish independence parade by the Married with Children fountain. Saw a few biker gangs representing. I don't think they were 1% but still cool to see. Got to the shed and saw this massive line. Lucky for us Kathy is the smartest person alive and we purchased a City Pass which allowed us to skip all lines!! Love her for all her organizational skills. They had a new exhibit of Jelly fish which was super amazing to just stare at. They had some hammer head Sharks too!!! Hell yes!!! We watched the Dolphin show and some how randomly Tonya got randomly selected to pet the dolphins in the middle of the holding tank! Super cool! I was pissed cause it happened so fast and the I didn't get any really good shots of it. Kathy did on her Sony so maybe I can post a few when she gets around to uploading them on the comp.
We had Chicago style hot dogs that day too which was fucking amazing!! A full speared pickle on a hot dog, who would of thought? Then took some pics at the MWC fountain, the bean and some of the skyscrapers around the area. Tony reminded us we had to get some Deep Dish since we were in Chicago. We found a Giodanos and had the best cheese pizza ever! The cheese was so thick and the sauce was soooooo good! A+. The girls wanted to do some shopping so we went off to some stores on Magnificent mile. That closed after awhile  and we found our selves debating if we wanted to stay out or get an early night sleep. We decided to meet up with Kathy's friend Katie up at a bar. 2 dollar PBR beat the previous nights tab by far so I was pleased. We were just so tired from the previous night of drinking we were Kinda of sour pusses. We ended up leaving the bar a little earlier which was lucky for us because we got to see the classic fight come out of a bar by the subway.
"NOOOOOOO, STOP IT, HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING, DON'T HIT HIM ITS NOT HIS FAULT" a really fat girl starts screaming. Dude pushes another dude on the ground and they wrestle for a bit. Boring fight. We wait on the deck of the subway and a Black guy starts screaming at a gutter punk kid, that fight goes no where. Then the first guy from the first fight screams across the tracks come over here I'll beat both your asses! It was hysterical that this happened all in a span of 20 minutes.

The third day we packed in the Sky deck, Observation Deck, The Field Museum, and Art Museum. I was really happy I got to see some Salvador Dali paintings in person. Really brings me back to when I studied art in school. The other cool thing I saw was all the Egyptian mummies and Dinosaurs at the Field museum. That shit blew me away! After all this we then met up with Katie again at a bar where we began to drink heavily! Let's just say I time traveled to the Wiener circle (which apparently they have a reality show on TruTv) This Scottish dude starts screaming at the Black girl that works there saying she is a fucking Cunt and we all were just laughing at him. I have it all on tape on my GoPro. Still haven't watched it yet but I hope its amazing so I can post it up here soon! We also saw a bum eat shit while passing out sitting up. He just kept leaning and drooling for almost the entire train ride home. Then near the last few stops BLAM! face first in to the floor of the train! Felt bad but least he has a warm train ride to sleep on. Bums in Cleveland sleep on sewer vents to stay warm.

The only bad thing that really came from this trip was the Drive there, I got stuck with speeding ticket 89 in a 70 when I was only really going 79 in a 70. The cop lied and didn't care cause he knows I'm not going to drive back to Indiana to fight the damn ticket. Stupid ass!

I got some good shots. Not happy with a lot of them but these are some of the best ones, or ones I liked that help show the story a bit! In no way is it in chronological order. Enjoy!
