super easy to read eh?
hahaahh.

psyched.

Chicago...

I tried to spread things out a bit, so the days weren't so busy. If this doesn't work, let me know. Otherwise I'll start buying tickets this weekend. I removed going to Lake Michigan, but we should probably add that back in somewhere.

Friday:
Lunch at Pizza Rustica (11:30?)
Walk down to Wrigley and try for cheap tickets
Architectural Boat Tour (4:30pm?)
Early dinner?
Second City (8pm)
Kingston Mines (11pm)

Saturday:
Millennium Park, Grant Park, Taste of Chicago (10am)
Second try for Cubs tickets?
Hancock Building for drinks and view (6pm)
Dinner (Alinea or otherwise, 9:15pm)

For those of us eating at Alinea

This is a proposed memoir of the chef with a couple of pages from different chapters.

It doesn't divulge much of what we'll be eating but does give us the general creative and thought processes involved in this restaurant.


Enjoy

improv

as an additional idea for something to do, there is second city, which puts on improv shows that cost anywhere from $5 to $25 (second city). For those that dont know about this group, it is responsible for training a lot of the the SNL talent as well as many other actors (Tina fey, Steve carell, jeremy piven...there is a whole wiki page).

i have never been to an improv show and since this group is probably one of the best, i figured i would throw it out there.

Cat in the Car and the Car can't go

Thats what my guitar teacher used to call chicago.

I am down to go stand outside wrigley - i can't believe we can't find fucking bleacher seats for under 25 bones. In Denver the "rockpile" tickets are lke 6 bucks each. Stupid.

There is no better restaurant in the greater chicago area azim.

On blues night i think we should go to both kingston mines and chicago blues - both on clark. And close to my cousins house if he is around.

Azim you can be in charge of other fun night time shenanigans. I still have not heard from any of the relatives I sent that email out to like a month ago, good folks eh (my mom replied!! at least I know someone loves me.)

yeah I forgot what else Azim mentioned. sounds like some pretty busy days. I'm psyched to just hang out and fucking shoot the shit. maybe play a few board games. haha

later

Chicago

Friday:
Early lunch (Chicago deep-dish / hot dogs) near Wrigley
Try to get cheap tickets to the Cubs game (sounds like people aren't interested in buying them ahead of time)
If we can't get tickets, then beach volleyball on Lake Michigan (maybe rent jet skis, but they are like $75 / hour)
Blues Club at night

Saturday:
Millenium Park in the morning
Taste of Chicago
Hancock Building Signature Room
Architectural Boat Tour
Dinner at Alinea (minus Azim & Ajay)
Dinner at a better restaurant (Azim/Ajay & Chicago friends)

Sunday:
(I'm leaving at 7am)
Golf or driving range?
Something low-key (halo if someone wants to bring their Box?)


I have a few bars in mind for night time excursions, but I'm still working that out. I'll send out some possibilities tomorrow. If this sounds like a reasonable plan, let me know and I'll start booking things. Make other suggestions if you have them.
