Halien Party - Chicago, Labor Day weekend, 8-31-13

[Swansteel]

Believe you me, being from Vegas I'm not worried one bit about the heat. Now if it were to rain, that would be a bummer.

I have the same fan too that I bought on our walk to Lollapalooza as you know Tusk and you can see it in the video where I set it on the table where Haley was autographing and directed the breeze toward Haley's Hair.
When I took the CD sticker off the Listen Up wrapper to open it for signing, I put the Haley Reinhart sticker around the base of the fan, which now labels it a "HALEY REINHART FAN" just like I am!!!

Have a great time in Wheeling and at BG Days to see Haley and her family and Midnight. Of course how can you not with the amazing Halien Shindig Himm2 is putting together. I sure wish I could be there and I hope an invitation is open for next year if it becomes an annual event. But I will always cherish the 3 days with fellow Haliens seeing and listening to Haley, Keith, and Brandon perform in Las Vegas.

I'm not a fan of super hot weather, especially humidity, but it'll be worth it!! I am one pale, milky white lady, so I will need to pack the sunscreen!! Luckily the yard will be shady, and the concert is later in the day. I am really hoping for some cool weather on Saturday.

So, one of my coworkers is from Chicago, and says I MUST have Luminati's pizza for classic Chicago style, go to Michigan Ave. and hang out by the bean / people watch, and also eat at Portellos. I guess I'll cram all of that in on Monday afternoon before I leave!! Swan, what time does your flight take off again?

Last up, I have a present for Haley. It's a grey T-Shirt and it says "All You Need is Love" on it, and I'm going to put a little special " Halien " on it. I even found some cheetah wrapping paper!!

I'm pretty sure you mean Lou Malnati's, not Luminati's and we have a Lou Malnati's right next to where BG Days Festival is happening. It's not my favorite Pizza but we could do that instead of Jet's Pizza. We also have a Portillos right down Dundee Road about 2 miles from my house and very near where Buzz & his wife are staying. The Bean is in Millenium Park near where Lollapalooza was. We may go there Friday Night after Navy Pier but sadly NUG you won't be here yet. :-( I may be willing to make another trek downtown if you need company - like after I drop off anybody at Ohare.

I'm hoping to have all the Fixin' to make our own Chicago Style Hot Dogs at the party. (Although I still prefer just Ketchup & Relish on my Dog).

LOL it is the 7th sin to put catsup on a hot dog

Haha I just mentioned you said Lou Malnati's - and she started laughing and said that's what she said, but it's "that Chicago fast talking thing" We can have what ever you want! Pizza is a personal thing I guess, because her recommendation spurred a big conversation about which is best, and is NY style or Chi style the best....so much passion over sauce, cheese and crust!
