Just show me where to get naked for Jasmine.

what's a fun place in Chicago I should demand to be taken to?

Besides Gino's East, Shedd Aquarium, and the Art Institute.... hmmmm....

For quirky bookstore specializing in 'zines, Quimby's (that's where Hec's reading was)

Fitzgerald's in Berwyn is good for live music.

The Green Mill is great for jazz (and Sunday night poetry slams)

The Aragon often has great bands playing. You might want to check their schedule.

Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind at The Neo-Futurarium is always a great show (we order out when we sell out!)

The Rimers of Eldritch is being put on by Eclipse Theatre (at the Victory Garden's studio space) and they always do great work.

Also, About Face Theatre is doing Take Me Out which I've heard fantastic things about.

Blues on Halsted is great for live blues music.

If you like hot dogs, be sure to grab a Chicago hot dog at almost any location. Pure heaven.

For free entertainment, check out Buckingham fountain at night (10 or 11, don't remember exactly the time). They do a cool light/water show.

The Rimers of Eldritch is being put on by Eclipse Theatre (at the Victory Garden's studio space) and they always do great work.

A very good (if very dense) Lanford Wilson play, which I starred in back in high school. While everybody else's high school drama classes were doing calorie-free mountings of crowd pleasing standards, we were doing meaty plays like Rimers of Eldritch. This is the kind of high school I went to.

Just show me where to get naked for Jasmine.

Surprisingly, it looks like this is the location for the naked Jasmine apocalypse lineup.

Curiously, not LA at all. How odd.

I hope that you're not going to the Art Institute on the weekend -- because THAT Seurat room will be CROWDED.

Maybe I can work it so I do that on Friday, then. I honestly don't even know that I'll be able to convince my friend to go, but I ought to be able to bully him into it.

Sean, we* did Rimers, too. It was a hell of a show.

*(By "we," I need to specify that I went to an all-girls' school, and I did theatre with our "brother" all-boys' school.)

Also, About Face Theatre is doing Take Me Out which I've heard fantastic things about.

HELL of a show, even if you don't like baseball (which I don't). Also, pretty naked men. Seriously, though, the love for the baseball comes over so pure and true that I caught myself liking baseball for a little bit after the show. And then I promptly killed those brain cells.

juliana, you have to surrender to the poetry of the game -- that's the secret. Baseball is a beautiful thing.

I'm with juliana. For me, while I see the appeal of musclely legs in tight pants, baseball is a boring thing,
