Here in the Second City

It's 5:52 pm Chicago time and I am sitting on my bed in the Allegro Hotel in downtown Chicago! In just 92 minutes I will be at the Oriental Theatre seeing Wicked! Holy crap I'm excited. This will be my third time seeing it but I am just as excited as the first time. What a fun weekend I am having. So, we got into O'Hare this morning and took a 40 minute train ride from the airport to downtown Chicago with these two teenage boys who were making up raps filled with coloful language the entire time! I thought my sister was going to punch one of them, and I really wouldn't have been able to blame her because they were SO loud. But we finally got to our hotel, which is this cool, old art-deco hotel, and ventured out on the streets to find some sustinance. We made our way to a Diner called Ed Dibevick's which came reccomended by two different people. The thing about Ed's is that their whole shtick is to be rude to you, seriously. The employees are all theater students so they get a nice, paying acting gig but I kinda hated it. It was just sort of weird! Anyways- we wandered around for a little while more and then came back to the hotel for a "rest", well everyone slept but me cause I was busy blogging and such. My sister just called herself "Drooly Andrews" by the way! So, I am going to get ready for the show so I will be sure to post my review later, and my review of The Pirate Queen which we are seeing tomorrow. Two huge musicals in, in Chicago in one weekend? Pretty much the best weekend ever!
