Road Trip
Well, unless something else goes wrong, looks like the Crew and I are rolling to Chicago to catch Ring of Honor Wrestling. ROH is easily the best non-televised (or do they have a syndicated show somewhere? Anyone?) wrestling promotion going today, and a lot of the best talent from TNA also wrestles for ROH. Should be worth the trip.
Because the trip is a bitch. Some of you might be saying to yourself, "But, Stupid Comic Book Guy, you live in Illinois. Don't you pretty much live in Chicago anyway?" Nope. That's easily the worst misconception about Illinois, is that all roads lead to Chicago. Frankly, I've only been to Chicago, like, 7 times in my life, and that was for the Chicago Comicon on every occassion. It's actually easier for me to drive to Missouri, Indiana, or even Kentucky, than it is to drive to Chi-town. But the really bad part, is that once you get past Springfield, the scenery goes to crap. It's like from Springfield to the burbs of Chi-town you've accidentally slipped out of Illinois and ended up in Kansas.
Having said that, I do think Chicago is a swingin' town, and I typically enjoy myself every time I'm there. But if I'm gonna drive 5 1/2 to 6 hours, there better be some event I'm a goin for.
