Yes Brooke, you're invited!
I had a post last week about our show but it fell off the cliff. I'll bring it back up.
Please bring 100 people with you.

Hey mg33, looks like I can't make the show Thursday. I uh... forgot it's Michelle's birthday. Do NOT tell her I forgot. :/
haha. Depending on what she wants to do with her friends though for it I'll try to talk them into coming downtown. I'm the "dd" for the night.
nocomply. The "Green Dolphin Street" is a fantastic jazz place. Maybe a bit pricey but great jazz.
Funky Buddha Lounge is good too. Also The Green Mill is good too.

Nice. Thanks guys. A friend of mine told me about buddy guy's too, so i think we will go there. The type of stuff that can't be seen anywhere else..that's what i want to see.
- nocomply0
Thanks k0na. A bit pricey is ok because my dad is the one taking us. He's been promising my brother and I he'd take us to wrigley field for the greater part of a decade. Part of the deal was we both had to be 21 so we could go to jazz clubs at night, and lil bro just made it back in March. Finally happening. Can't wait!

nocomply,
too bad you can't make the show, but Second City is always fun.
Here's the hot tip o' the city:
Don't pay $11 to go to the Hancock building observatory like typical tourists do.
Instead, go to The Signature Room bar at the Hancock building, on the 96th floor - it's free, and a rather nice view of the city that goes quite well with alcohol.

Thanks for the input everyone. I finally got some of the photos on a new flickr account I set up. I have even more I will add later. Just discovering flickr. So fun! Feel free to look and add comments.

Funny you should mention it. Our tour guide on the river boat tour we went on told us about that too. I was holding my breath under each bridge we passed
