w00t! My marching band went to Chicago for Thanksgiving!
Wednesday: Rode charter bus to Chicago. Watched movies "You, Me, and Dupree," "Mission: Impossible III," "Joe Dirt," and "John Tucker Must Die." Once in Chicago, checked into giant hotel of DEATH. Okay, not death. But it was a really big hotel. That night went to dinner dance with all other marching bands participating in McDonald's Thanksgiving Day Parade (reason for trip). I wore my fancy Chinese-pantsuit-outfit-thing and got blatant points and stares from random people just because I didn't wear a "normal" dress. Excuse me for being a noncomformist.
Thursday: Woke up at 5 AM and stood in nasty alley of downtown Chicago for like and hour and a half before finally marching in the parade, with only took like 30-40 minutes. Went to cute German Christmas village with giant tree and ornament shops. Learned about pickles, watched hot German guys speak German. Yay. Took cruise from Navy Pier and ate Thanksgiving dinner on boat. After cruise, went to top of Sears tower and attempted to do the Ferris Beuller thing, but they must've used a set for the movie, cause the railings were too far from the widows.
Friday: Put on green and black striped tights and went shopping for a while, then saw the musical WICKED!!!!!!!!!
........ yay. heart I'm listening to the soundtrack for like the 50th time right now. After Wicked, my mom, siblings and I wento to Ed Debevic's, which is a SWEET restaurant. If you are ever in Chicago, you better eat there, b***h.
Today is Saturday. I just got home from Chicago, and I'm really tired, but it was so sweet.
