Willow Creek Conference: Day Zero

I will be reporting on the Willow Creek Arts Conference - mostly for Rochelle, but also in case anyone else wants to know what I learned and what I experienced here in Chicago.

Today is Day Zero, which means the conference hasn't started yet. However, there were two cool things that took place.

First, the car rental company messed up my reservation, so at first they were going to give me a PT Cruiser for the same price as my economy car, but they didn't have that, so they gave me what you see below:



Yep, a Chrysler Sebring Convertible.

So, I had the top down tonight as I drove to eat (I forgot a hat, so I had to buy one), blaring some music and enjoying myself immensely.

And then I got lost. But in getting lost, I found something that made me very happy:



One of my favorite restaurants has made its way to Chicago. I will be going there, most definitely (shhh - don't tell Debby, it's one of her favorites, too!)

Tomorrow I'll report on actual conference stuff, but I'm a pretty happy guy right now.
