    Never heard of them, just checked out Oh! Oh on youtube, great shout man, you like that kind of techno too? They remind me of SebastiAn. Sweet stuff.

    Came across this the other day, obviously not as good at RATM's original killing in the name of, but an awesome way to remix a song.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZtUYNi-YMI

    Yeah man, love electro house, checkout Digitalism aswell, Pogo is a great tune. Boys Noize best tune is & Down, epic tune.
    SebastiAn is great yea, Ross Ross Ross and Walkman being my favourites.

    Check out Deadmau5, although not electro house, has some great tunes.
    Best being Toca Me remix, Hey Baby(instrumental), and Reward is Cheese :)

    First episode is pretty bad on the grand scale of the show, but you gotta start at the start.

    Man, I cannot say enough good things about Chi-town. I had my best summer ever there back in '05. Such a chilled out, relaxed city. Loads to see and do with all the sport, music and the great weather.

    And as for the birds......... 3.gif


    If there's anything you need to know about the place just ask.

    Right, where to start... :p

    We're all gonna be J1 virgins, first time out in the States for us country boys. The oldest of us is only gonna be 20 so that'll be back to the days of underaging.

    Basically;

    Jobs - where and what is the place to go?

    Houses - I'm not really expecting much given the stories of 17 irish lads in a 2 bed house.

    Drink - Will Mammy need to send over the case of Buckfast to tide us over?

    Simple really: Money + Bed + Drink = Sorted. :)

    We were all 20. No hassles, even when we went to Vegas.
    Basically;

    Jobs - where and what is the place to go?

    Because you're legally under 21 you cannot work in a bar. You can work in restaurants but you can't handle any glass with alcohol in it, or had been in it.

    I worked down on Navy Pier which is the main tourist area. I sold souvenirs for a Forrest Gump themed restaurant on a cart out in the sun from 8-4 four days a week. Really cushy number.

    The most common job I saw though was people selling those open top bus tours. Basically stnad at a stall in the city and try gat passers by to go on the tour. Some people enjoyed it, others hated it.

    Main thing is to get your social security number sorted asap, as in apply for it te day you arrive and not two weeks after like me. I was out of work for the first month or so cause of it. (You can't apply from Ireland).
    Houses - I'm not really expecting much given the stories of 17 irish lads in a 2 bed house.

    My housing was provided by the GAA club I was playing for I was lucky enough to not have to look. Other people we knew over there used a website called CraigsList to get a place before they went over. Might be an idea to have a look at that.
    Drink - Will Mammy need to send over the case of Buckfast to tide us over?

    No you shouldn't have any problems if there's even one of you that is any way creative. I don't want to elaborate too much but as I said, not one of us was over 20 and we drank every night of the week for 4 months pretty much.
    Simple really: Money + Bed + Drink = Sorted. :)

    If you go to Chicago you will be sorted for all the above imo

    Cheers!

    Yeah we all play hurling so it might be an idea to check out if our clubs could come up with anything over there with houses if we played for the local Gah team.

    I've heard doorman to an apartment block is cushy and tippy enough too. Hopefully we'll try and diversify so each of us can rob something useful outta work for the rest of us. Someone can do Maccy D's or something.

    Nice wimminz is a bonus.

    I'm getting all excited now.
