I don't know. What is there to do in Chicago, and what's cheap?

At some point I will be compiling a "list of things to do in chicago." with accompanying prices. I don't know your interests so its hard to say what would be good for you off the top of my head right now.

To be honest I don't really know my interests either very well.

Anything with weird animals is probably a good bet.

I should know if me attending is feasible around next week. My final week is 12-19, but I most likely only have 1 final so it comes down to when it is.

Although going to a big city for animals is kinda strange.

I am kind of strange!

I mean, it wouldn't be why I'd be going. But still.

From what I've heard, the shedd aquarium is pretty incredible. I've never been, but that's mainly because you never end up doing touristy things in your own city. Everyone I know who has been has said it's great though.

Yeah Chicago is the same but different at the time of drive from NY to NC. /:

We should start planning food.

I assume we want to keep any going out plans on the cheaper side?

Same. Anyone who refers to me as "tsq" or "status" or any variation thereof will be shot.

I would roadtrip with Marquis if there were other people I was vaguely familiar with!

And I like cooking. I'm a picky eater and a cheapass, so it's the least I can do.

Idk about road tripping. I literally have driven so many times it's boring plus harder since I wanna go to Michigan XD

So I definitely have one of the Shea spots because I asked him super politely
But I'd be willing to give it up to someone who needs it if I could split a hotel room for a decent price

Shea. Like the butter.

Does bins frequently have occasion to pronounce my name?
