Man, I had the BEST time in the Windy City! I had never been on a “business trip” before, never had a Chicago dog, never went to the American Girl store, etc. I had a lot of firsts. I had never seen Sharon Van Etten in concert before either; if she ever comes close to Columbia, go see her! She’s extremely nice and very talented. I can’t wait to go back, when it’s not freezing cold, and when I can bring my husband. It’s a great city with a lot of cool stuff to see. I only had 24-ish hours there, so here’s my trip in a nutshell:
The ladies of Alt Rock Radio and Sharon Van Etten (she’s the cutie in the blue velvet coat)Um, it was FREEZING on day one: 18 degrees!These puppies were all over Chi-Town!THE place to go for a Chicago dog- my first!OH YEAH!
