Members notjonahbutnoah Posted October 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 I will say that im already impressed with the Chicago Music Exchange, you can window shop on street view. They must really like Orange and Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PunkKitty Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 CME is impressive. You should go to see it. But if you are thinking of buying go to Midwest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lowbrow Posted October 26, 2011 Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wouldn't ever buy anything from them, though. The t-shirts are cool and not too pricey:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members notjonahbutnoah Posted October 26, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah, I really just wanna gawk. Having just sold my Les Paul to recoup funds from buying my purple Charvel, I shouldn't buy anything. I mean, the evil Visa is in my wallet just in case, but I probably wont use it. That and my girlfriend will be there, and although she doesn't ever tell me how to spend money (perhaps she should), she is keenly aware of what stuff costs, and will sometimes use it as ammo when she wants something.

Members notjonahbutnoah Posted October 28, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 28, 2011 UPDATE So the trip is still on, and I've spoken with the guy that has it up there. He gave me his address and is expecting us. It's a bit south of Bridgeport, and east of McKinley Park. Should I bring a gat? (I don't even have one to bring, so... a steak knife maybe?)

Members cbh5150 Posted October 28, 2011 Members Share Posted October 28, 2011 Funny -- I grew up in the Chicago area (Northbrook) and hate pretty much everything about it (except for PunkKitty of course! ) I like my pizza with thin crust, prefer the Cards for baseball and Packers for football, and the Sharks for hockey and think that the weather in Chicago sucks harder than any other place I've ever live (with the possible exception of St. Louis, which also sucks pretty hard...) Blasphemy, blasphemy, BLASPHEMY!!!!! :mad:(except for the weather and St. Louis comments ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gdsmithtx Posted October 28, 2011 Members Share Posted October 28, 2011 I have it on good authority that you should avoid the south side of Chicago, which is apparently the baddest part of town. And if do you happen to venture down there, I've been warned to beware of a man named Leroy Brown. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of people on the south side so I doubt I will see him. Besides, I could probably take him. I mean as long as he's not badder than ole King Kong or, say, meaner than a junkyard dog.

Members PunkKitty Posted October 28, 2011 Members Share Posted October 28, 2011 The south side is a culinary experience that I'm not as familiar with. You will be just south of Chinatown. That's always good for a inexpensive decent meal. Lots of new restaurants have recently opened in Bridgeport and the neighborhoods around it. You will need to rely on your friends for suggestions.

Members drivelikejoewho Posted October 28, 2011 Members Share Posted October 28, 2011 I just went to Chicago for Riot Fest. There is this punk rock dive bar called Exit that I went to that is pretty cool. Don't remember how to get there but just look it up on yelp.The only tourist thing I did while I was in Chicago was take a picture by the fountain from Married With Children. I also went to the Navy Pier and was stoked when I found Makinac Island fudge (my family is from Michigan). I love that stuff! They had the Oktoberfest goin on at the end of the pier while I was there and that was cool. It is free to get in but the beers are like $8.If your nose doesn't work, just look up and see which La Pasadita has white smoke coming from the chimney. White smoke = fresh beef.Went to that place and i must say being a native of California, they actually had pretty decent Mexican food in Chicago. There were seriously 3 of those restaurants with in a few blocks of each other. I actually think there were two that were like 3 or 4 buildings apart? I was a bit drunk so I don't remember exactly but I remember seeing those everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't know how much uptown stuff we'll do, but if we end up going to a bar, I would definitely prefer a punk rock type place. That Saturday before Halloween should yeild a good crowd/bands.

I really like their earlier stuff, but the newer albums have been lackluster at best. I think Pegboy is my favorite oldschool Chicago punk band though.
