****confirmed**** I Am Coming To America
Ooooh yes.
A whistle-stop tour of twelve days taking in N'Ork, Hertford Connecticut, Vermont and a bit of desert somewhere in continental North America with my girlfriend, the mellifluous potential future Mrs Sabeh, currently waiting for me in an apartment somewhere in Brooklyn.
I cannae wait. Flying in to JFK for the first of October, flying back in time to get down the dole office on Monday the 12th. (This is actually true.)
Ai me.
Any requests for European-type stuff unavailable in America? Anyone in New York want to put and my girlfriend up for four nights?
Thought not.
Anyway. WAY HAY!

If you make it out west near Yellowstone park, I'll give you a place to stay.

NO! you can't make him sit on old faithful and tell him how cool it feels when it goes off!
come, stay on the streets of boston! there are lots of people there already(some with lots of money too).
Otherwise I highly recommend a two day stint to Chicago (I think some of the cheapy airlines fly between NY and Chicago): great architecture, great culture (art, music, diversity), and really great food.
Chicago OWNz!¡
I have to go to Hertford because that's where my girlfriend's parents live, so that's non-negotiable. Hey ho. I have a dear friend who lives in Boston, though, so I'll almost certainly be going there. It's going to be a New England excursion: Moogs, I don't think I'll be visiting C-town (as I believe it's known.)
USA I'm on way!
Cal-e-forn-eye-ay!

(laughing) i didn't even notice that in your location! that was truly just a coincidence.....but for the record i am not a great A/Ier. i was thinking of bunge and scott as the great ones.
Hartford blows. Whoever this girl is, she better have a nice rack to compensate for the moron family that I know you are about to marry into if your future in-laws are stupid enough to live in such a place.
If you come to Washington I'll take you up onto a glacier and push you into a crevasse or something equally fun. Or we can run around and leave "No blood for Oil" signs all over town. We can even draw in little puppies drowning in oil in the corner and give them Tony Blair faces as well since he is after all our favorite lapdog. I might even kick a soccer ball at you while allowing you to regurgitate the Euro-misnomer that it is a "football".

See? Even the notion of the possibility of me being great didn't cross your mind; still Chicago kicks maximum booteh.
the other night i was walking from the jazz fest by the new millinium park, which right now in it's uncompleted form is quite amazing looking, and i thought to myself......."jeez, it's great to live here..."
i just got done reading 'The Devil in the White City' by Erik Larson and it's given me even greater respect for Chicago.
That being said, drop me a line if you swing this far south.

Ah yes millennium park. Great things happen when the Mayor doesn't have to bother with planning or budgets or permits or ... Wait 'till they put the bean in.
Where ya goin' to in Vermont Hassan? My stepmother is up that way.

count on mr. positivo for a hearty thumbs up.
obviously there have been problems, (i mean it's "millennium park" after all) but it will be the crown jewel of the lakefront when finished.
it might even make up for the monstrosity at soldier fields.

Would you be positive if you saw your tax dollars going into a project who's budget has been spiraling out of control due to complete disregard for the process? Great idea to break ground when you don't have the plans finished. Daley is well known for this type of stuff.
You're also wrong that the "crown jewel" of the lake front will be MP. The crown jewel, at least in that area, has always been and will always be the Art Institute of Chicago. 100s of priceless works of art vs someplace to buy overpriced stand food and listen to blues has beens. I know which one I'll take.

i meant visually, from the outside.
obviously the art institute is the most valuable, but i'm surprised you don't have something to grumble about that.

Oh my god this really is the funniest post I've ever read on AO. Thank you Superkarate!
I'm not kidding everyone. Please, understand, this is f-ing hillarious. So funny that if you don't think it's funny it's because you are mentally incapable of understanding the situation. It really is that funny.
And Superkarate, I'm not being sarcastic when I say it's the funniest post ever in AO. You get my thumbs up today.
THANK YOU.
