I'll bring brats, who has a cooler for beers?

I have the perfect cooler. Also I know this hardcore dude who tailgates every bears game so we might even be able to get a satellite dish. Also ill invite this same super obnoxious bears fan which would be cool.

I have some beat up fold out chairs, grilling equipment and decorative American flags.

Second day in town. I got Internet and tv conning tomorrow and I have to make $70 last until loan disbursement. Nbd. If anyone wants to grab a drink at a hotel bar, lmk. I'm always down.

Same here-I haven't met anybody yet so I'd definitely like to.

Will there be snacks? Will you all bring me snacks during OCI? Best way to make friends...

September can't come soon enough...

Sucks man. Got to do what you got to do. I am also leaving a job I was only at for 5 weeks. Whatevs, it is for a good reason.

Does anyone know if the program runs all day? Or if it's just a half day thingy.

Runs til 3 or so if I remember correctly.

I met a lost 0L at school today! You guys are real!!

Thanks! Another 8 days for me before I get into Chicago. Can't wait.

How long did it take for the TV and internet peep to come after you set up an appointment with them? Trying to time everything so I don't go insane in my new place with no interweb..

Jelly. Fractured my humerus and have had to put lifting on hold atm. Fuark!

Just some information for anyone who may find it useful.

Ordered Internet from RCN--never heard of this company in California so I was skeptical to select it over Comcast, but let me tell you--I'm so glad I did. For $29.99 I got blazing fast Internet that puts my former $69.99 Comcast service to shame. I also installed by myself over the phone with technical support.

[Micdiddy]

Moving day for me. Loading all our stuff on the truck, sending it off, then living sparse for the next week.
Excited!

Thanks for the heads-up. If it's good enough for a fellow Golden Bear, it's good enough for me.

Nice...I've lived in Chicago for a couple years now and still hadn't heard of RCN (though admittedly I do live under a rock). Considering their $39.99 promotion for internet + the most basic of cable packages.

Honestly, call them now. Comcast is mailing me my box and will be out tomorrow to do Internet. They said it normally takes a week from creation to get an appointment.

Yes, call and schedule it ahead of time. Otherwise you're going to get there, call, and make an appointment for a week later.

Alright. I'm all gadgeted-up.
IPhone (my first smart phone) - check
MacBook - check
E-Cig (seriously though, $11.00 for a pack of smokes in Cook County!?!) - check

Now...about that whole place to live thing...

I swear to god like 98%* of people in Chicago smoke. It's a shock, coming from the best coast.

*obviously exaggeration, but it's a lot.

Well I won't be smoking (much) - I'll be vaping.

Mmmm vaping. Delicious.
98% is understandable for a place that fking cold. Gotta get mittens to smoke in Chicago.

Gah! Okay, thanks for the heads up. I'll be calling them up soon then. The building I'm going to be living in only does Comcast so I don't have any other choice.. Sigh.

I'm loving it. I'm on day 3 now with my E-Cig. Am (was?) a pack-a-day smoker and had only (4) cigarettes yesterday. Hurray for me!

What time?

I have to fly to Nebraska for the weekend (grandparent memorial service) on Friday so I might not be able to make it, but otherwise I'd definitely stop by and say hi.
