What’s in Store in the City of Big Shoulders?
BlogHer is in town, the weather is nice, the coworking space, the Coop, has welcomed Whuffaoke with open arms, and there’s no better time for some karaoke goodness!
“Chicago is the home of the blues and the truth of jazz, the heart of comedy and the idea of the skyscraper. Here, the age of railroads found its center, and airplanes followed suit. Butcher of hogs and believer in progress, it is one of the world’s great cities, and yet the metropolitan luxuries of theater, dining, and shopping have barely put a dent in real Midwestern friendliness. It’s a city with a swagger, but without the surliness or even the fake smiles found in other cities of its size.”
The Ambassador(s)
Talia Ullmann is a grad student, born-and-bred Midwesterner, and a coworking dork who is a little too excited about meeting the amazing Whuffaoke travel team!
