I LOVE Chicago!!!!!!

The Miracle Mile is amongst the best shopping there is on this planet!!!! For the LB Sounstage thingee - several Ledgies and some peeps from Nancy's board all got together and had a blast!!!!!!! I also used to visit a friend who used to live there. I love that town - but it is sooooooo cold for this magnolia

The Summer would be okay. But, the winter - forget it

You look pretty weathered to me

I am not a cold weather person either. I've lived in Texas most of my life and well, in most parts of this state it's pretty warm year 'round. West Texas and the Panhandle get some fierce winter weather but central and south Texas rarely see much cold weather. I like to call Austin "Little Calcutta" because it's so damn hot and humid here in the summertime it's almost unbearable. But really, I've gotta have the sun, I could not live in a place that doesn't see much sunshine.

My blood has already thinned out since being down here. I think I'd do even worse in the cold now than I did for the 37 years I lived in Chicago! I'm hoping to get back for a visit this summer, and to visit downtown. I haven't been downtown in ages!

I remember the Soundstage thing. I joined Nancy's board shortly before that, and didn't find out about Soundstage until the tickets were all gone. I did catch FM at Allstate Arena a couple days earlier, though. Tenth row seats. Unfortunately, my 5'1" self was right behind someone that had to be at least 6'5"! So I was having a lot of trouble seeing the stage.

On a side note, Soundstage's studios are at my alma mater, Northeastern Illinois University. And my last apartment in the city was only a few miles away.

I had no idea about Soundstage at all, simply because I wasn't reading The Ledge at that point. Blast.

Dear god is Minnesota beautiful in the summer. That's one of the biggest, best-kept secrets in America.
