I'm going to Chicaogo for the first time ever in 3 weeks. Please has anyone any tips as to how to blend in so I don't look like a tourist? I may be english, but I don't drink tea and my teeth are in good condition.

Who knows where it could be, all I know is i'm getting on a plane in Manchester for about 7.5 hours and mysteriously arriving 2 hours later. Twilight zone.

Dress in rags and push a shopping cart everywhere. You will fit in perfectly. :)

Bod, I don't think you'll have trouble blending in, but I can tell you some things that you must do while there:
-Have a martini at the Signature Lounge (top of the Hancock building).
-Have lunch at Dick's Last Resort, by Navy Pier.
-Take the architecture tour (starts at Navy Pier).
-Ride in a Chicago cab at least once. It's truly an experience.
-Catch a baseball game at Wrigley Field. I don't give a fuck if you're British, just do as I say. You'll enjoy it.
-Eat at the Twisted Spoke, a cool biker-type bar at the corner of Grand and Ogden.
That's all I can think of for now. Post pictures when you get back.

I was at the signature lounge a couple of days ago. If you see a balding fatass wearing a cubs jersey named Jake at the Pier, tell him he still owes me 30 bucks.

My cousins live in Chicago, but they are assholes. A couple years ago, I went to Disneyland with them, cause my aunt is their grandmom or something, and they stole all of my fucking money, and I had about 250 bucks. Then I got in a fight with my cousin cause I beat him in Uno and he spit on me. I punched him in his face.

Bod, hopefully I'll be in Chicago then. If so, we should shindig together.
