CHi-KAAAAGO!!

I was standing up on some cement thing so I could see Ellen

I was happy with my spot

These pics are really out of order, but oh well.

Here are the pics from my trip to Chicago to see Olivia and Ellen.  We didn't score any tickets, but got a good seat/view from across the street from the stage.  Steph and I visited Olivia's store in Oak Brook, and stayed with her at her cute little apartment in Oak Park.  It was such a cute town!   Saturday, Steph and I headed to the city to catch a glimpse of Ellen. Olivia had to work so she missed out that day.  During the taping of Ellen, Ellen showed a clip of her visiting Giordano's Pizza the day before.  Steph and I decided that was the place we wanted to go for lunch, so we went there after.  The pizza there was amazing!  YUM!!! Satuday was cold (48 degrees) and rainey all day.  

If you look along both sides of the sidewalk, they are filled with people waiting in line to go to the show.
