Well its that time of year again and I will be back in Chicago the weekend of Dec. 4th.

I work with another photog shooting the Miss IL and Miss Teen IL pageants but should have that saturday free. I would love to meet up with alteast one of you guys up there so I could go out and get some shots from around the city :) I dont know my way around :( I have been there 3 times and have yet to see the bean and this year I HAVE too haha.

Would anyone be up for giving me a small tour of the town? Ill be staying at the Hyatt Regency at McCormick Place. Getting there late thursday night and leaving Sunday night.

It gets pretty cold down there around this time. Here is a link to a discussion about things to do while you are in the city:

Maybe you will get lucky and this unseasonably cold weather will break for your visit.

I can see and prob walk to Navy Pier but thats about it. Only scenery I have seen is the ride from Ohare to the hotel oh and Michigan Ave, well a part of it anyway, down by Water Tower place.
