Why am I such a happy HellZiggy?

[hellziggy]

Besides all the pretty stuff I got from Amazon, I also how have plans for

Attack of the Nibleys 3: The HellHouse Invades!

Hee hee. hellbob and I have set a date to go visit Chicago. We will be leaving Minneapolis as soon as I get out of work on Friday, March 9th and getting to Chicago sometime late that night. We will then spend 3 1/2 glorious days doing Stuff.
No, we don't know what kind of stuff yet, other than the Blue Man Group. And then we'll be heading back home on Tuesday afternoon.

Are any of the rest of you out there on my flist in the Chicago area?

Chicago has lots of really big atractions, but it's the little ones that stand out in my memory of our last visit there.

Make sure you stop at a downtown bakery for breakfast.

If you like art and are short on time, the little galleries downtown can show you art in much more manageable bites than the big museums can.

If you have the time to spare, take a bus somewhere and sit up front so you can chat with the driver. They are interesting and friendly guys who can give you a whole different perspective on their city. Buses not not the most efficient method of transportation, however.

If you don't have much time, take a cab rather than driving yourself. Compared to cabs in the Twin Cities, Chicago cabs are fast, cheap, safe and clean. A cab can get you where you need to go with much less aggravation than you'd experience driving yourself.

When you go to Blue Man, show up plenty early and check out the interior decorations in the lobby. Don't be afraid to talk to the tubes. Feel free to tell them all about Moose, they'll like that.
