i dont know how long prime and the gang stayed.
Many many thanks to TT, TT's dad, and Mrs. TT for letting us trash their places, and for showing us how to have a great time in Chicago on a budget. The best part was hanging out with my IC friends outside of home for a change. I really had a great time with all of you, and I appreciate being dragged out of Warren once in a while
