Thanks and bring on the creativity!

I always seem to forget how the weather is during different seasons…except for winter! lol Guess it’s how I keep living here! If I recall correctly, it’s not too hot during September, but it can be a fickle thing. Maybe somewhere between mid 70s to 80s. We’ve had a very light summer. Only a week or so here and there of really hot humid weather so it’s kind of hard to gage how it may be. I prefer abc7chicago.com news- you can check that site about a day or so before you leave to get the jist on the weather at the time. I don’t want to lead you in the wrong direction about how it may be.

I personally prefer the not too sticky weather so I think it’s generally pretty nice out during that time. Today we have 81 and it’s not humid at all. Yesterday was a great day weather wise as well.

A friend of mine is going to the U2 concert as well. I know they put on a great show.

Hope you have a great time and enjoy Chicago!!

I don’t know if you’ll check back here and see this or not, but I appreciate the suggestions.

By the way, if you see this . . . what’s “summer weather” for Chicago?

How humid will it be (do you think) the weekend of Sept. 11 – 14?

Do you have an idea what mid-Sept. temps usually are?

Thanks for any/all help – - can’t wait to come to your city! (We’re coming up for the 2 U2 shows – - the North American tour opener is that weekend in Chicago, woot!)

I was reading comments on the US Weekly articles and on one of them, someone claiming to know one of the girls said that they never even watch the show but they know that this girl had been hounded by the tabloids for weeks (even before the final show aired) about the Ed situation. She finally consulted a lawyer and decided to out the story because she knew it would be “out there” eventually and this way she would have her own version of events out there. That makes it sound like it really wasn’t about the revenge or the cash, just good-old self-preservation?
Then again, hell hath no furry like TWO WOMEN’S scorn?

If you do a search on metromix for chicago and check for the locations under south loop or grant park you can find a host of options. You will have to venture across from Lake Shore Drive (where SF is) to get to some restaurants but like Drew said…there’s a host of them.

Enjoy your time here! We are finally getting summer weather so it should be a good time to come. I’ll send a wave over toward you when I’m downtown!

About the Ed interviews . . . US Weekly is NOT a bastion of (even celebrity) journalistic integrity, so I wouldn’t trust their ‘sources’ for *anything.*

Of them all, I’d trust People the most, but still . . . considering what we’re dealing with here, we’ll never know ‘the truth.’

But the fact that Reid, Jesse and Michael are also saying stuff really seals the deal for me. I was never Team Ed, so I am biased, but I just thought that everything seemed so shady. I feel like Jillian is being stubborn, just like with Wes. She needs to “figure it out,” even when all the signs are there. Even when Reid came back, she stuck with her original decision despite having obvious doubts, mainly because she thought she had to stick to her guns, no matter what she was feeling, seeing, etc. This sort of stubborn commitment is not a bad thing necessarily, but in Jillian’s case I think she just sticks to her guns for the principle, not always for the logic. Does that make sense?

Jillian, it is ok to change your mind and/or to see things for what they are!!!! Your determination is admirable but seriously, COME ON.
