Damn, that's high.

Wow. THAT!

Would anyone have the Chicago bears pre-sale code?

Thanks.

Welcome to Chicago - Highest sales tax in the USA. And that a-hole Daley wants to waste how many billions on the Olympics?

Go Chicago Baseball.

I need to buy some tickets, but I'll be working when they go offically on sale. My friend was telling me that for some people, they sell them a day early. I guess this "pre-sale code" is the early sale?

People on the wait list for season tix get a chance to buy before they go on sale to the public, which was last week according to the email I got.
The pre-sale was limited though. You had to buy tix for the KC pre-season game, then you could choose up to four for any other game.

I'm now doubly glad I didn't go to the Taste. I saw the 'copter footage at the rumble by the fountain. I get enough of that in Uptown, thankyaverymuch.

On the VG front... no news.

Where did you see that at?

I used to live in uptown, but there is not much to do there. Large lesbian population, but that doesn't do a straight male much good. Garcias on Lawrence/Ashland is good though!

I might go to that for him to sign the games and statue I have.

Also would anyone here know how to fix a razor phone (screen black) or would know of a place that does it for cheap?

I saw the fight footage on a local broadcast... 5 or 7... or 9 or 32... can't remember.

I was referring to ghetto Uptown around Truman College. Y'know young black males with their hands on squad cars, people jumping in front of trains and shootings at the Wilson L stop. Good times.

I've been to the Garcia's in Lincoln Square (Western/Lawrence) once. S'okay. My all-time favorite Mexican joint from my high school days was Taco Burrito Palace #2 in Lincoln Park but they've since moved down the street (Lincoln) a bit and it don't feel like home no more. The cheap-eats place I've been meaning to hit for the last x years but always find an excuse not to is Hot Doug's in... Lakeview (3300 N block of California)?

I used to go to taco burrito palace #2 B4 they moved too. I went once after they moved. (I just remember the new location being really bright and white). I am pretty sure that is the place I used to go to with my buddy, but it was before I lived in Chicago, so I could be wrong.

But there was a ton of PS2 games, especially the Hack games, not sure the exact titles, I've never played the series. Didn't see any PS3 games(Damnit)

I wonder if .hack GU Vol 2 is there...?

I don't know what neighborhood it's in, but that's Hot Doug's all right, on the other side of the river from Lane Tech H.S./College Prep. Just be aware that they close by 4 P.M. Monday through Saturday and are prone to unusual days off (like next Monday and Tuesday, the 21st and 22nd of July). Check their web site and/or call to be sure:

Oh, and the more exotic fare's not exactly cheap (see the online menu), so be sure to bring some extra money, just in case.

Hey all, I have two desktop PC's up for auction on Ebay. One is a Dell XPS 400 and the other is a custom built housed in a Cooler Master case.

http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgre...QQfsooZ2QQrdZ0

I've posted in the auction forum, but I'd thought I mention it here also in case any locals who would be interested in doing a local pickup. I didn't mention this in my auction, but local pickup is fine and of course shipping charges would be waived. I'm over in the SW suburbs.

Just trying to sell these PC's to pay for some upgrades. I forgone Craigslist because of flaky buyers in the past, so ended up going through Ebay, though I'd prefer to avoid shipping these PC's.

Anyway, thanks for looking, tell your friends!

Has anyone been to the Imax in Licolnshire? Is it assigned seating like the Imax at Navy Pier or is it first come first serve?

Was there a few years back for The Matrix Reloaded, and I don't remember having to deal with assigned seating. On a related note, it's hard to compare any IMAX screen to the wrap-around one at the Museum of Science and Industry, but it's nice to see a big action movie on a big screen.
