Michael made my trip to Chicago so much better. He's laid-back but still outgoing. He brought me out to an open-mic and encouraged me to play for the first time on stage (I was still pretty bad though). Many nights, I would just be exhausted from travelling and we'd just go somewhere close for drinks and, one time, this really strange taco pizza.

Michael's apartment is really comfortable and well-decorated, I might add. It's across the street from a supermarket and KASIA'S, this amazing Polish eatery. The bus in front of his street goes right into the city, so I had a lot of ease navigating Chicago.
