so...
... if I moved there...
... would I be a Chicagite... a Chicagian... or just another fella from Chicago?
Srsly though - I'm @ 87% on the 'level of surety' that I'm relocating... and I want to get my citizenry label correct before presenting myself officially.
___
I'm looking to move to the West Loop I guess... as that's near the business dumb enough to buy my time...
... I've only flown through the city - so unload the 'good', 'bad' and 'gnarly' about the town...the neighborhoods etc...
... pony's skeered. :(

woahza!!! there's one good reason!! (well... two good reasons actually... but why be perverted?... If I were really going to go 'there'... I'd say... 'three good reasons'... referring to each boob and then that magical vaginal opening 'most' females have... BUT... BUT... i COULD GO EVEN FURTHER!!! And say that's FIVE good reasons to go there and include the other two openings...... but then that would be taking it too far... yes?)...
... p.s. - guess who's smoking stuff again? *sigh

Kona has a special initiation you will have to go through, once you become a resident. It involves paddles, and lube. Or so I am told.

Hey I'm moving there too, in November. I've spent like 3 summers there, and been there in midwinter too, the only thing I could see someone might find negative is the weather, it gets really cold and really hot. But wear warm clothes/get a good air conditioner! Music scene rocks, public transit rocks. . . cheap housing (compared to LA). . . etc etc.
What company hired you?

Congrats Pony.
The Northwest neighborhoods are nice. (Wicker Park - Bucktown - Ukrainian Village area) They're gotten pricier since I was there though.

^what they said above about me is all true
*smacks paddle against desk snapping desk in half
if you do move here without a job hit me up. in the past two months i have gained a bunch of contacts in chicago. most of the offers i've gotten have come from the city but at this point in time i'm not willing to commute downtown.
also. you will be a chicagoan. you will love the bears, but you will not call them that, you will call them 'da bearss'. if you like the cubs i will smash you.
chicago is really a great place to be for so many reasons.
good luck!
