Chicago trip

[allbaugh_04]

I plan on being there all weekend. Looking for things to do, might check out the lake, the former sears tower, wrigley, and hopefully a club that plays electronic.

Ideas?

Another place I need to go visit as well... post up some pics when you return, please.

Maybe ask 35th-anv-ss, he rolls to Chicago sometimes.

I have'nt been there in years, can't say I have anything good to say about that place.

Maybe it's changed some.

Chicago has the the museum is science and industry I think it is called, some pretty cool stuff in there. The shedd aquarium, I haven't been here since I was young so my memory is a it fuzzy.

You should come up to Milwaukee during summerfest, it is a good time. World's largest music festival.

What kind of music? Link to event?

I got a shit load of plans this summer, so I may or may not be able to make that.

I was hoping to video chat with him about it, but he refuses for some reason.

Pretty good list.

[Zinergy]

Pretty good list.

It is always a good time, right on lake MI. Lots of shops, food, women, drinks, music, women, shows, women. We have a lot of festivals in Milwaukee, in summer months there are atleast two going on every weekend.

[allbaugh_04]

I was thinking about EDC because of the women, shops, food, women, drinks, music, DJs, and women. Google it.

[Zinergy]

Looks pretty cool, dusk till dawn. Why not hit up both

[35th-ANV-SS]

I went to Milwaukee Music Fest in 2010. It was a kickass time.

Chicago - I would check out Navy Pier, the museums, a Cubs game or at least the bars on Clark, go for a river ride down the Chicago River, Shedd Aquarium is cool, Lincoln Park area has a lot to do and is a nice area, Millennium Park, and go see Blue Man Group. Oh, and Sears tower if you want a great view of the city.

Places to eat/hang out- Smith & Wolynskis, Hub 51 (Sub 51 is in the basement), Fifty/50 in Wicker Park, Burger on the Butcher....

Clubs? If you like house music go to Sound Bar.

I think most of the hotels were sold out in February, expecting 300,000 people.

Thanks, I'll be sure to check out as much as I can.

McCormick & Schmicks is a good time too. Wrigleyville is where it's at though for women.

[Red97GTP]

X2 on Summerfest! Being from Milwaukee, I can honestly say it never gets old. There's plenty to do, bands, rides, drinking, etc. And women too!

[allbaugh_04]

Sounds like smartbar and vision @ excalibur is where it's at, hope to check out everything, but will only be there for 4 days.

[0verkill]

my wife and I just wint there for a day last week would of stayed 1 more day but the NATO crap would of just killed it. but any way the navy pier is a good time if you like stuffet pizza then geirodan's i dont think i spelled it right. and the handcock tower has a audio tore on the top floor that is killer. the bad part is parking sucks and will cost out the ass. dont take any thing to big i had to pay extra as my truck was so big and almost got it stuck getting out of the pier

[allbaugh_04]

I think we plan on doing a lot of public transportation. I remember paying $20 for a few hours in Seattle and $40 for a night in Sydney, ridiculous...

[35th-ANV-SS]

PT is the way to go. There is street parking in some locations, but it is only for 2 hrs and if you don't feed the meter you will get a $50 fine.
