When going to house parties/byob events, my ex and I used to split a six pack of something “good” and buy a 12 pack of something cheap to get drunk on the rest of the night. Like you, we figured the taste wouldn’t matter after the first couple anyway.
TBOX seems like something I need to do eventually, but I never hear about it until the Monday afterward. I spent my Saturday drinking a few miles south in Blue Island instead.
Regular-ass dive bars are one of the biggest things I miss about Chicago. They’re surprisingly hard to find in Manhattan. Everything around here is so bougie.
The ending of this sounds like Girl has something devious planned and honestly I can’t even tell what it might be anymore. Sounds like she wants to throw someone under the bus for something tho
I’m a flight attendant so I feel ya. Walking from one end of the terminal to the other to get McDonald’s, I’ll have my earbuds in, but the uniform seems to tell people I know everything about the airport (never mind the fact that I had never been in it until a month ago). I had a lady take my earbud out to ask me a question (that I didn’t know the answer to). Moral of the story? Your best bet if you have a question is the gate agents or the info desks, not necessarily the flight crews. We may have never even been in the airport before that day.
Went on a brunch date over the summer, made the mistake of it being on a weekday (weird work schedules were involved). It was the most awkward date I’ve ever been on.
This is golden. Dude on the left already has his suit jacket off while our homeboy Connor was like, I’m going to fight you- and be carried off the stage- while wearing my fur coat? Priceless.
I’m with everyone saying O’Hare isn’t so bad. The bathrooms are the worst part, but the food options super make up for it. My pick for favorite airport would be Minneapolis- tons of bars, super clean, and rarely crowded. Fuck all the New York airports tho. LaGuardia only gets more points than JFK from me because it’s easier to get to/from Chicago out of LaGuardia than JFK.
Pro tip: cook in the oversized t-shirt, throw on the turtleneck before everyone gets there, and just wear red or black so when a glass of cabby sav inevitably ends up on it you can laugh it off/ignore it and keep drinking
So it’s against federal law to get shithoused on a flight, so flight attendants may not serve you more than 2-3. That being said, as long as you keep yourself together, as many as you can handle. All the drinks.
See that’s why you gotta keep it simple: day drink at a friend’s near wrigley, have homemade snacks that someone’s girlfriend was way too eager to make, and walk to the intersection in front of the field sometime during the 8th inning. More alcohol and shorter time with zero personal space, and you still get to party.
The last wedding I was a bridesmaid in only served beer and wine, so all the bridesmaids each stole an extra bottle of wine for ourselves. One of those bridesmaids is getting married next summer and has hired a party bus specifically so we take advantage of the open bar.
Northwestern is trying SO hard to be that Chicago area college football draw. But unless you went to school in Illinois (…go Birds?) then yeah… sup, dumpster fire.
While I agree that this is tops for a rendition of the National Anthem (go ‘hawks), I don’t think we can discuss best renditions of the national anthem without bringing up Hendrix’s rendition at Woodstock. Legendary.

Same, except I showed up with a case of beer that I split with the bride’s stepmom.
Greek weddings are bomb AF. But it’s usually the same deal with the Saturday evening mass. Also the dessert tables are amazing at Greek weddings.

That’s what I spent my weekend doing. Salud, Espáña!
I fully appreciate how many of us on here hail from the Chicago area

My boy is blonde haired and blue eyed and thinks he can go for the Burt Reynolds in Boogie Nights look. I let him keep thinking that.

Glenbard East here, who apparently is no longer in the DVC and is (possibly?) now Upstate Eight. No reunions yet here thankfully…
