    actually, it's money (at least to 99 out of 100 questions, according to Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky). hookers are just a by-product of money. :p

    No, they used that spectacular 1987 computer animation to put that fountain in the opening credits when the show first started. :D

    Now that sounds interesting. Even if I don't like what I see, I can say I rode on a Segway.

    We were in Chicago last September and found out too late about this so we were unable to get reservations. We took a bike tour instead.

    its been a few years since i went but ed debevic's is a great experience. one of those places where the waiters give you a hard time and are rude, etc. i think there's one in downtown

    No way that is close to the crib!!!

    They make good warm sandwiches.

    I wonder what else will be in that shopping center.

    THAT IS THE BEST NEWS I'VE HEARD ALL WEEK!! :D I LOVE POTBELLY'S!

    As for things to do in Chicago, checkout the Underground Wonder Bar for awesome jazz music (it's really small and personal...and not full of tourists...always great jazz)

    Skip Giordano's and Reza's. If you want pizza, go to Lou Malnati's and if you want Middle-Eastern food go to Kan Zaman (they are both on Wells). I lived in Italy for four months and the best gelato I've ever had outside of Italy is at a place called Cafe Gelato...I think it's on Division in Wicker Park(15 minute walk from the Damen stop on the blue line).

    Oh, and don't forget to get a charred Chicago red hot!

    im going out on a limb here but i would say there will probably be a nail store, tanning salon, bank, some cell phone store, and a dry cleaners. gotta love the originality of every houston strip center.

    Scratch Acid was unbelievable. I wish I was going to see them in Seattle next week.

    So, if anyone's about to post a "what do I do in Seattle for 1 night?" thread, go see Scratch Acid! Definitely one of the best bands I've ever seen and I could have made a career of going to shows from age 15 to 30.

    David Yow is a rather short dude. I ran into him multiple times at the Hideout and he couldn't have been taller than 5' 6.
