FIRED UP, DU!?!......Checking in live from Chicago....

[marmar]

Amtrak finally got me to Chicago after a much-longer-than-usual ride from Detroit (they REALLY need WiFi on Amtrak trains) and I'm just waiting on my friend, who I'm freeloading, I mean staying with, to get ready for the Red Line ride down to Grant Park. If the crowd amassed at the Belmont El station is any indication, it's going to be quite an evening.
