Don’t worry glassharmonica! There were iron bars to keep me safe. It was a great hangout since my son was auditioning in a different building and then forgot to update me till 12 because he took his theory test right away. Just an fyi. The 3rd floor of the recital hall has great nooks to read and listen.
He has a lesson to nite and DePauw tomorrow and Monday.
Well that is not too long of a drive so that is good. Hope he enjoys the lesson tonight and good luck at the audition on Monday.
Anyone know much about the Illinois music program? Their tour and information didn’t really give much information about the school and how they do things. It’s nice to be made aware when decisions will go out but more details would be nice. For instance at unt they have an in house instrument repair and also let you record for camps and auditions for free (it’s been a year so don’t quote me) I find that really useful information.
Next on the agenda. Only book hotels with hot tubs.
@cellomom6 Now that’s a sound idea!
I’m just so tired from walking everywhere on campus. A hot tub would be heaven to come home to especially if its a big campus
Why is it that driving in L.A. and Miami is fine but Chicago scares me? It’s so odd.
Simple: freeways vs city traffic and ice vs nice.
You should be very afraid of Chicago traffic. I live in Chicago and used to live in LA and I prefer the latter. Every time I drive into Chicago from some road trip I’m shocked by how chaotic the driving is. The signage is so confusing and the roads laid out so oddly, I can’t believe anyone from out of town manages to find anything. My personal favorite confusion is that across most of the country 94 runs east and west, except when it comes through Chicago where it runs north and south. Of course, none of entrance or exit signs acknowledge this so you constantly find yourself behind out of town drivers practically slamming on their brakes at exits, or crossing over four lanes of traffic in one move. Then there are the “pop up” traffic jams at any hour of day or night. It’s not your imagination- Chicago roads suck.
Lol.jb1966. My experience exactly. And it took over an hour just to leave town on Saturday afternoon. I also noticed people don’t follow traffic laws and if I did, I never would have been able to leave town. And so I did what everyone else was doing. I’m glad no cops were around.lol
In Chicago, take the train! We avoided the 2 1/2 hour car trip downtown (no kidding, according to Google Maps!) by taking a 45 minutes ride on the “el.”
My Aunt Theresa, an 80 year old Franciscan Missionary nun, drives in Chicago. I’d be very scared, if I were you!
Lol. She must have been napping when we left town. We’re alive and well.
