a friend moved there a few months ago, so both myself and a couple other friends are coming in for a week of hangin' out... plus i'm seeing another friend after. i'm both very excited and kinda nervous, it's the first Big Trip i've taken since a certain new disease started afflicting us en masse 3 years ago, and i hope it isn't as overwhelming as i imagine to go out and about. i will be masked as much as i can, but... man, i've been wondering if i'll ever feel comfortable in a room full of other people ever again. hopefully won't get sick! hopefully will just have a gosh darn fun time! the only other time i went to chicago was in 2011 so i look forward to seeing it again
