Conversation Starters:
Why do they have SES in Chicago in Winter?
Can you feel your hands or feet?
Why do they call it the windy city?
Todd while you are in town you need to get a Chicago style hotdog and an Italian beef. You also need to meet MrTurner!
How long are you in town? Switch your flights and I will put you up in hotel trose for a week
Video games, booze, wi-fi and dreams.
