Really sounds like your having a blast there. I was in Chicage in Feb a couple of years ago and yep it was about -10 then too but there was plenty of Chicago style pizza, great beer and Chopin EO martini's to keep us warm. If you have been yet you should try and get to the Lavazza Espression café. It's at the top of the Hancock Building. Good food and a really great view of the city. Especially at night. You might check out Al Capone's Hideaway. When I was there they had some really great steaks, beers, martini's and a nice selection of Cigars for after dinner. Love the pics. BTW last bottle of Utopias I saw was about $380.something. I hope you got it for a better price than that.

Two places to try before you go.

I haven't been to either but know that at Hot Doug's you have to arrive early to avoid the long lines. I've been told it is best to arrive a little before they open. Since they have been open awhile that might have changed. I don't remember what day it is that they serve the duck fat fries.

WUSS!
You can go early to Hot Doug's unless you are sleeping of drunkiness. Bring money, it is cash only.
IIRC, you are near the Rush St. and Division St. bars.. I'm sure they'll be packed for St. Patrick's Day.
This place has a bar and a shop that sells hot sauce and cigarfs. Not been yet.
Cigars and Stripes
Beer pong? You are in Chicago, you should be playing Hi Bob!

So a little update
the past 3 weeks havent been too up beat as we have all had our heads buried into books
I did go out for my birthday though
we went to a brazilian steak house called Texas De Brazil
No this wasnt us, this was just a picture I stole to give you an idea what this place was. Basically gaucho's walk around with giant skewers of meat and a knife, and shave off a bunch of stuff on to your plate
Let me tell you though, I could have been fine with just the salad bar, this thing was incredible. Sushi, cheeses, meats, salads, oysters, clams, chicken, an phenomenal lobster bisque
best thing was either the top sirloin or the brisket
got a Gran Marnier flight, regular Gran Marnier, the 100, and the 150
A friend of mine got a Cachaca cocktail, and I drank 7 dollar shitty red stripe
heres the flight

I then went to a club here called Vision for Max Graham and Mario Florek. Let me tell you what, this place blows your mind. I ended up getting VIP access to behind the DJ booth the entire night where I got to meet Max and Mario as they were coming on and getting off stage. Here is a combination of my shitty pictures and some club pics
