Anyone from Chicago/Chicagoland area?

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

I live in a small town near Chicago called Hodgkins...my rent is about $750. The reason my rent is that much is that I have two cats.

 

[Chizip]

oh do they each have their own bedroom?

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

One or Two bedroom apartments...But it's a mexican neiborhood...so that's the only downfall...but the police station is right nearby.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Sorry if that last comment sound racist..I wasn't...I was just saying that I live in the "ghetto" part of the town.

at this 45 second delay.

 

[Chizip]

yeah the 45 second delay is a killer

so why are you awake at this hour

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

1. I'm not tired
2. I'm usually up at this hour
3. I suffer from MTES (Movie Theater Employee Syndrome)
4. It's the only time I can use AOL for a couple of hours.

Is that good enough reasons for you Chizip?

 

[Chizip]

yes, it is

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Are you confused with my #3 reason?

 

[Chizip]

a little, it sounds traumatic

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Ok...I work at a Movie Theater (Quarry Cinemas is the name...Loews Cineplex is the company)

I work crazy hours..sometimes until 1-2am (Central timezone)

The symptoms are as this:

1. PMS like symptoms (If a girl...which I am)
2. Tiredness
3. Agrravation at anyone or anything
4. Up at weird hours when not working
5. Nervousness when Managers call you
6. Giddyness

That's all I can think of at the moment

 

[Chizip]

remind me not to work at a movie theater

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

You wouldn't last. You would start to get pissed off at the customers when they take too long in the Consession line.

I've worked at the movie theater for 4 years now.

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Anyone else from the Chicago/Chicagoland area?

Or coming to Chicago for a U2 concert?

 

[If you shout...]

I live near Chicago unless I'm away at school (which is the vast majority of the year) in Urbana-Champaign while studying at the University of Illinois.

During finals week, I will be driving up to Chicago on both May 7 and 12 to see U2 shows and driving back down on the same nights for 8:00 AM finals. Unfortunately, I won't be able to go to every show, like I was last time out; I have evening finals on both of the other show dates, and there's just no way I could make it in time/survive the grueling schedules, drives, and needs to study. I'm starting to wish that I hadn't enrolled in a handful of graduate classes, because that week is gonna' be a BITCH.

I'm going to both shows in the fall, though...come hell or high water. I have NO clue what my schedule will be like, but I don't really care--school can go straight to hell...! Ha ha ha.

Although I don't have the highest hopes for this tour (I was disappointed enough with Elevation after loving PopMart), I do have high hopes for the band...in spite of the sloppy play highlighted on most of the bootlegs. They do sound like they're already shaping up (quicker than usual for these days, too), and I can't wait to see them in top form in Chicago....unless they're wasted, like they seemed to be during the second Chicago show, last time out.

Boy...that one was a bloodbath...

Anyway, ALL HAIL CHICAGO!!!!!!!!

CHI-TOWN
