Funny how things turn out. Originally I tried to book this trip via Chicago but it was going to be really expensive, so I didn't bother. Now, due to a series of clerical errors by United Airlines I appear to be getting paid to be in Chicago. Which is nice.
I've already had a cheeky smash and grab just been up the Willis (nee Sears) Tower - it's impressively full of pro-Willis Tower propaganda - I was reliably informed that it was the tallest building in the Northern Hemisphere by one of the attendants. Maybe she's trapped in 1986?
Seen Anish Kapoor's shiny bean thing too - now that was ace. I might even post a photo of that. Chicago's been my third city in three days. Yesterday I had a cheeky smash and grab of Baltimore, wandered around for the day pretending to be Stringer Bell. Ate crab cakes in Lexington Market - they were as good as the hype.
One of the downsides of this predicaent is that my bag is a couple of thousand miles away, which means I need to get me some clean pants. I'm on a road called the Magnificent Mile - there's a Tiffany and a Gucci opposite - I'm not sure I'm in the best place, wish me luck...
