There's a bus you can pick up at Howard, right under the El stop.  I don't 
recall the number of the line, but it runs along Touhy to the Cumberland 
stop on the Blue line, just two stops from O'Hare.  It's nice because the 
bus leaves literally from one el stop and ends at the other...
I usually find that this takes about 20 minutes off my commute, for an 
extra $.30.  Timing depends on when you're going, though. Weekend=no rush 
hour, so you should be fine.

You can also go to Berwyn, and catch the 92 Foster bus westbound, which
will take you to the Jefferson Park stop on the blue line, which is a few
stops away from O'Hare.

The number of that bus route is 290.

As Kelvin Kay suggested, Steve could also take the Red Line south to Berwyn
and the #92 bus west to Jefferson Park to pick up the Blue Line.
