An Ode to SES Chicago, Buddy Guy, Chicken Fried Steak, and Towlie

Chicago is cold.

There, I said it.

It’s a damn good looking town town, I’m a big F.L.W. fan, but I truly wish the Search Engine Strategies event organizers would do a little climatologically based scheduling. California in the winter months, Chicago in the summer months. That’s all I ask.

Last time I made it to an SES in the windy city, not only did it live up to its moniker, it put Montreal to shame – we were still enjoying crisp fall evenings in the great white north while Chicago was deep freeze central. I actually saw two polar bears just outside of Buddy Guy’s place (hey is that place still open? I heard rumors they closed down, that would be a damn shame, it was the best chicken fried steak I ever had (no need to even mention it was the only chicken fried steak I’ve ever had (dang))).

But from whence we dredged our frozen bodies, one year hence we shall return, this time with a bigger, fluffier jacket. If you feel like joining us, the Acquisio booth will be at SES Chicago – it’s less than two months away now, and we’ve got couponish goodness to share: 20% off teeth whitening (and/or conference admission) when you plug this in the online form: 20ACQ

Go forth and prosper, but always remember to bring a towel (I recommend stuffing it up under your coat).
