More information:

The Blue Line is about 3/4 mile east of Union Station. Walk out to Jackson, and catch a 151 or a 7 bus, I think, take that to ... Dearborn? Lemme check.

Yes, OK. Yes -- catch a 151, or a 7, or a 126, or a 28 ... the stops vary, in terms of which side of US you'll board each bus - check this map for details.

$1.75 for the initial fare, and then $.25 for the transfer when you go down to the Blue Line.

When you get off the bus at Dearborn, you can turn right and walk about a half block - you'll see the blue-railed stairwell leading down.

Clear? As mud?

Thanks for the map, Krystyn. It looks like the 151 goes right down Michigan (a block away from my hotel!) and into Union... that'll make getting back to the station a lot simpler than I'd feared. Better than I'd hoped, actually... kinda expected to have to transfer somewhere or take a cab.

-- Steve'll delve deeper into the CTA site later... finding routes to the museum district, for instance, or other nifty places.

That's an awesome map! Thanks a bunch, Krystyn.

One question: wouldn't it be easier for me to walk south 2 blocks to the Clinton stop on Blue?

[krystyn]

Um, yes.

(ETA: gosh, that's really embarrassing. I looked right at the map and thought of my own commute, instead of DURR THE MOST OBVIOUS THING. please forgive, I am apparently having a day.)

*grin* ain't no thang. By the way, if you want to use those maps I uploaded on the site, you're more than welcome to do so.

_My_ day sucks ass because my two-desk job just became a one-desk job, the one where the walls are 4 feet tall, the secretary sits -right- next to me and I can't keep my eyes open because it's unbearably boring. Woo hoo!

Eek, haven't checked here in a bit. Just did a crapload of reading in this thread. I hope it isn't too late, Krystyn, to count me in for the Ed's thing. Whatever option everyone else is choosing would be fine. And I'm definitely in for the Fogo thing, too. And breakfast on Sunday. If I'm going to be expected to sing karaoke, I'll have to be pretty well liquored up first. And if that's the case, I think I'll be needing that bottomless coffee the next morning.

News!


briefly, since I am about to go blow stuff up, but I will provide full 411 here and at the website within the next day ...

Triad is our karaoke spot. Just went there for dinner with my friend Ian, and I really like the place. So, yay!

Also, not enough people have really committed to Ed's for a party package deal, so I belieeeeeeeve we're just gonna show up in a massive geeky clump, and take it from there. Order what you want, and tip well, and we'll be just dandy. We're still going to Ed's, but you won't need to worry about a dinner price or anything. Got it? Good.

So, to summarize: we have a karaoke spot, and Ed's is still Friday night, but not a reserved party thing.

Rock on!

Yay Fenwicked!

[CoffeeJedi]

whoo! i'm going to be there!
i don't know who of you out there helped out, but Dasro Kast just told me that he's raised enough money to get me a plane ticket!
as you know, medical bills have kinda sorta beat us down pretty hard in the last month or so, but our spirits are lifted at everyone's generosity. It really touches Autumn and I. So thank you, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

i'll see you all next weekend



p.s. thank you
