I love Chicago (and everywhere else in the states). I'd advise just walking around downtown, it's so nice.

82 days in the USA. Most of it staying with a friend in San Francisco (hard life huh!) but also going off on my own across the country for just under 3 weeks. I'm very lucky to have such great friends. Hardly a hotel the entire visit!

So excited! I'm going to lots of gigs as well as do as much sight seeing as I possibly can.

One friend near Chicago is also having a Breaking Dawn2 dvd release party when I'm at her house so I can make more friends who love Twilight/Robert P. How nice :D
Superb! What an amazing trip o/ I will be following your progress on FB!

Glad to hear you think it's so good!

I post about non free theatre in the discussion thread all the time as I'm usually trying to convince other people to see the shows I liked :mrgreen:
