seiberwingA short summary of my day out with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
stupid_drawings:
Me: ^_^ *bus to El, waiting on platform*
S_D: *texts* *lol btw it's [station], not [identically named station at the other end of the line which was the first thing listed on Google Maps when you searched for that stop]*
Me: *wtf Chicago* *goes around to other side of the platform*
Train: *takes forever* *finally makes it to [station]*
Station: *has festival happening near it*
Busker 1: Selling tickets!
Busker 2: Buying any spare tickets!
Me: They should talk to each other.
S_D: It's like the bad parts of going to a concert without actually going to a concert.
Us: *navigates to Salvation Army as listed on Google Maps* ^_^ ...??
SA-1: *is community center*
S_D: *breaks out Google Maps on phone, navigates further*
SA-2: *is housing*
Us: *getting a little tired of Google Maps screwing up* *hunts for El station, so as to go to other line to other Salvation Army*
Me: Hey, there's a train! *walkwalkwalk* ...and no station.
Us: *follow tracks* *eventually get to completely different station than the one we started at, but at least it was the right line* *board train* *do some sitting*
Station: *lets out onto what has to be the worst intersection in the city, at the crossing of three diagonal, badly labeled roads*
Us: *cross street* ... *have to go right back across street again* *follow giant painted sign saying THRIFT STORE*
SA-3: *finally, FINALLY is an actual thrift store* *with no A/C and rude clerks, but a thrift store*
Us: *shop, then to just elitist enough cafe for delicious lunch and coffee*
S_D: *cues more plotbunnies*
Me: *gdi*
So it took us about an hour and a half to actually achieve anything useful, but I now have a nice waistcoat. It's better than staying indoors all day.
