I was quite excited because my friends Erika and Katie (both high school chums) were going to be in town and another frind (Phil) was going to be throwing a dinner party with all of us (and a bunch of other folks). But it turns out Evite screwed up the invite and the party is actually Labor Day weekend, which means that I won’t be able to go. :(

The good news is that I’m going to Chicago for Labor Day weekend. Jeff’s going up this Sunday (for business) and I’m joining him next Thruday night. Friday I’ll be on my own (Magnificent Mile, here I come!), Saturday night we’re going to see Cirque du Soleil’s Varekai, and Sunday we’re going to The Shedd Aquarium. There’s a big jazz festival that weekend too, and the main pavillion is right by our hotel (The Fairmont). Whee! I can’t wait!
