CW2CM Mission Statement

The CW2CM mission is to:

drink beer in at least three US states (IL, TN, AR) with an option to three more (KY, IN, WI);
attend live music events in at least two US states (IL, TN);
see the Eagles@Bears football game on 22 November at Soldier Field, although it's already sold out;
convince at least three Americans of Obama's Health Care Plan - by chatting up those natives in all kinds of real life situations... town hall meetings are soooo yesterday;
check out one of these Chicago Segways tours and not fall off at least that wagon;
visit Hooters restaurants in two US states (IL, TN) and draft a beer-reviewed comparative study about the intrinsic qualities of Midwestern vs. Southern Curly Fries;
ride the fabled US passenger train, the "City of New Orleans", and stage an all-night Thanksgiving Day party on 26 November between Memphis and Chicago with fellow passengers... Good Morning, America, how are you?
pass by 5046 S Greenwood Ave (= Obama's Chicago home) and ask if we can use the bathroom;
eat a Chicago style Hot Dog at the Wiener Circle (watch the video!) and live to tell;
steal Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" from The Art Institute of Chicago (listen, police eavesdroppers, we're kidding!);
re-enact the Blues Brothers car chase scene on location (after fulfillment of objective #10)
go to Elvis's "Graceland" in Memphis and annoy at least three die-hard Elvis fans with silly remarks about their favorite pelvis.
