Another sunny Chicago day, only it was bloody freezing! Which was brilliant for the visability on the Architectural river boat tour, but not good for my comfort levels given the thin jacket that I was wearing. It forced me to buy a thick hoodie from Gap on Michigan.
It was a hell of a lot warmer in the Redhead Piano Bar later on - earlier, I met 2 girls in from Nebraska (Josi & Lacey) at the train station & we all met up & went to a couple of bars. The Redhead may have been warm but it was hardly friendly - if you weren't shown your seat by a hostess, a Reserved sign was produced by the grumpy Matre-d bird resembling Bette Midler and you were kicked out over to cling to the wall or to sit at the seats at the bar. She was busy all night dragging people out of the centre of the bar & squeezing them hard up against the wall. The piano guy's renditions were, in my opinion decidedly average, so we moved on to the Kerryman Irish bar around the corner - much more inviting.
