Do they really call it chi-town? That sounds like an abbreviation ment to piss off people who live there, like frisco for San Francisco.

im gonna be working at a hotel doing guest relations for a loving anime/nerd convention. my job (and the only reason i go) is to hang out with cool industry people and get them (and myself) nice and drunk. plus i can tell weeaboos to go eat a homestuckers dick and gtfo of my way. i enjoy making fangirls cry no matter what state

i call it chi-town because of a dude i know that used to live here. one of those people that you can't imagine existing in anything but a cartoon and you want to hate gently caress out of jealousy and marry but don't

Wizard World was here a few months ago and it was a nice little Convention. Nothing on the level of the huge stuff, but was cheap and fun. Is it OK with your employer to make people cry though? I think you're exaggerating a bit here, and now the entire credibility of Chicago (not Chi-Town) is in question.


If you don't want Zombie burgs, then we'll figure it out. If you're paying for Kuma's though, it may be worth a goon meet up!

is that the metro or the city proper? because atlanta's only 450k (the rest of the 4 million metro is sprawl surrounding it)

You weren't kidding about the parking. The Main free parking area downtown is right now a huge pit as they're building a big garage there. So yeah, parking does kind of suck right now.
