You don't need a car. Locate near the CTA. Find out what the cheaper safe CTA friendly neighborhood. Get roommates and apt. from Craigslist. Jobs are tough. Maybe you might have to take a job at a restaurant, or some such thing.

I advise you to get on a chat room or forum and find a handful of people as a "in case" support network. People with similar hobbies as you. Find a forum or chat room for people who do consulting in the music business in some way or another and see if you can setup a work/live arrangement with them.

There are literally hundreds of thousands of people in Chicago looking for roomates.

I'd say forget about the whole restaurant/bar waiting, bartending type crap... Go find the playas.

ALSO, try twitter. good way to see who knows who and just start at the bottom and climb your way up... send 50 honest emails i'm sure you'll get a hit..

I'd say wait to move until you've done the above and people know who you are.
