Ummm, so if you have watched a weather report in the last day or so, you will be aware that Chicago is in the midst of a snowstorm (well Chicago and a lot of other places) that will move East to the coast and beyond--it's kind of Buzz Lightyear that way.
I have a plane flight book for 6pm tonight from Chicago to NYC.
Or rather I had.
Southwest cancelled all of its flights out of Midway today. Last night I rebooked for midday tomorrow, thinking hey yeah cool I will get there in time for the dinner with friends I have planned and I will stay until Sunday instead of Saturday.
Then they cancelled that one too.
Because it turns out that by that time I could totally get out of Midway, but I sure couldn't land at LaGuardia. I could rebook sometime in the next two weeks BUT I can't really get my schedule clear then, so my trip is cancelled. But Southwest is cool and lets me use this as a credit on further flights, and it was just a fun trip, so it isn't like I am missing some very important date specific event or anything.
Next I need to get a refund for the show tickets I bought for Friday's performance of A Lie of the Mind at The New Group. And resign myself to being here for the rest of the week. I have some ideas though. . .
Where's Beebo?! There she is!!!

Oh man, that sucks. I'm so sorry you're not going to be able to go after all. I know you were looking forward to it.
What can you do? I mean I knew that weather problems were a very real possibility to planning a flight from Chicago to anywhere in February and the fact that it was to another place with wintry weather just sort of upped the probability.
