Yeah I would like to meet Rush and all the Chi Town peeps -

My Goal is to get up in under 30 minutes - thats twice the height of the last one I did 55 stories.

That I did in under 10 minutes but those last 2 minutes feel like heart attack city so I am going to pace myself - then afterwards --

BEER and CHICAGO STYLE Pizza !!!!

On the map this looks close to the Sears Tower and still near stuff to do.
If there is anyway any of you guys could actually come down Sunday Morning of the climb it would be awesome too.

I am traveling alone and I need someone to take some pictures of me and for me for the people back home plus it would be cool just to have someone I know there that day.

I am flying in early 9 am on Sat. and leaving Monday Afternoon - So if there is anything to do Sat night or Sun that would be cool ...

[rushmatic]

i dont mind rolling by but i actually got work sunday morning... got anyother free days? like saturday evening?
rush

[poppy_morenito]

saturday evening is good - last time i was there I did not get to see any of the scene - it was like 5 degrees and I hung out at ESPN all the time

[Cesardrgn]

I'll see if i can make it. i just need to work around my schedule...

[poppy_morenito]

Less than a week away - I am getting pumped !!

I hope I can hook up with you guys when I get there.


Any heads up on the Weather and Stuff would be appreciated -

If there any good bars or clubs I would like to take a quick look on Sat. night or go out Sunday.

Last trip the highlight were the EPSN bar, Jazz club Green Something, and a really bad strip club - but MIami may have me spoiled in the dept. ..lol

Yo I am here - its not that cold - because I am from Philly I guess was expecting worse

[rushmatic]

sorry i didnt get back to ya... i had family over afterwards...

[poppy_morenito]

First of all thanks to Rush who came out last night and showed me a good time over by Division Street , I think - Even though he almost ran over and killed a man it was awesome time -:naughty:

Especially Driving by The Cabrini Green projects - :

(Good Times TV show) Dynomite !!!!
also where the Oracle lives ( Matrix reference ).... but now there is a Starbucks across the street ...

Oh Yeah I totally crushed my goal 30 minutes for the Sears Towers Climb -

105 Floors - 22 minutes !!! And I am sure i could have gone faster if the slower people would have moved to the left and I did not have to jump over some bodies near the top.

I am def coming back next year sub 20 minutes !!!

[rushmatic]

oh yea... that poor guy.... he didnt even flinch :LOL:
