      Chicago Day #3

      October 12, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 7 °C

      This day was mainly spent at the Ace Comic Con, where I started off with a panel with Gwendoline Christie, an actress who has worked on Game of Thrones, Star Wars and The Hunger Games, among many other roles. She was a very interesting person to listen to, and it was fun to hear more about her work.

      I also caught a panel later in the day with Norman Reedus, an actor who is particularly known for his work on the popular show, "The Walking Dead".

      And finally I saw a panel with Tessa Thompson and Brie Larson, both of whom have also worked in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Brie played Captain Marvel in the movie of the same name, and Tessa played the character Valkyrie in Marvel's universe. She's also done the "Creed" movies with Sylvester Stallone, and the popular show "Westworld". So lots of interesting things to talk about!

      Before leaving Ace for the day, I was meant to see a panel with the new Spiderman, Tom Holland, and Jake Gyllenhall, who plays the villain in the latest Spiderman film, but he's also done a ton of other roles over the years. The panel was running late though, so I had to skip it, to catch a train back into the city for a concert with upcoming artist Dermot Kennedy. He's a very talented musician with a gifted voice, so it was great to see him live. Nice venue as well, close to the Aragon Ballroom where Nirvana played back in 1993!

      Chicago und das Glück

      October 23, 2022 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C

      So meine Lieben...meine letzte Station hier in den Staaten...

      Chicago, Chicago that toddling town Chicago, Chicago I will show you around I bet your bottom dollar you'll have some fin in Chicago, Chicago The town that Billy Sunday couldn't shut down (frank sinatra)

      Für meine letzten Tage hier wählte ich Chicago...vielleicht auch weil mein ursprünglicher Rückflug über diese Stadt ging uuuund auch eine liebe Arbeitskollegin aus der Schweiz hier in der Nähe arbeitet...wie dem auch sei. Ich bereue keine einzige Sekunde die ich hier sein durfte...ist es gefährlich hier? Hmm...wenn man Auto fährt und gegen hupende und schimpfende Mitfahrer allergisch ist,dann ja. Mehr "Gefahr" hätte ich zumindest nicht erlebt. Das Leben und Leute sind hier definitiv "rauer" aber ehrlich? Wenn mir der Wind täglich so um die Ohren flattern würde hätte ich vielleicht auch eine eher "windige" Stimmung 😄
      Wir hatte so dermaßen Glück mit dem Wetter! Der Sommer kehrte genau dieses Wochenende zurück und somit standen laaaange Spaziergänge durch die Stadt zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten, dem Pier und der Promenade nichts im Wege. 😄 Wir hatten richtig warm muss ich sagen.

      Chicago hat uns nicht nur ein Heimspiel der Bulls eingebracht (dass sie leider verloren haben) sondern auch tausende neue Eindrücke....bitte fragt wenn ihr etwas wissen wollt ansonsten lasse ich jetzt einfach die Bilder sprechen...

      Alles Liebe und die Reise neigt sich schön langsam dem Ende zu...

      Day 0: La Crosse to Madison to Chicago

      June 15, 2015 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 21 °C

      Today was a day full of travel. Since our flight leaves early tomorrow morning, we decided to stay overnight in Chicago. A special thanks to the rockstars who sent us off to the bus station, Tom, Blaine, Lilly, and Ashlee. We really appreciated the giggles and the treats! Even though there was a flash flood warning in Chicago, we decided to brave the weather to sight see. Our raingear definitely works!
      Todays moment that made me awestruck: eating fresh mozzarella cheese at Eatly!
