It is possible to do Chicago on the cheap. If you do all the touristy stuff it'll cost more but you can save money by going to museums on free day or having a drink at the bar on the 95th floor of the Hancock instead of paying to go to the Observation Deck.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
All of the possibilities mentioned so far sound enticing to me. Love Chicago and could take the train there. Minneapolis = Prince in my mind, so I'm all for that. Kansas City I understand has some crazy li'l women, and a variety of transportation options to get there. I don't know anything in particular about Nashville, but I'm sure it has many fine qualities that would recommend it.
In short, F2F yay!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Baby, you can ride whatever you like in Chicago.

Nice museum. Chicago has lube wrestling.

Kansas City is a nice option, I think, for affordability. It has pretty fountains!

I'm not sure if I'd describe the spitters as "pretty" but it's certainly an enjoyable venue for whiling away an afternoon watching humans be human.

OK, not always pretty, but pretty darn cool!
I love that Millenium Park has turned into a big gathering place downtown. My mom's coming in for a week's stay in August, and I'm taking her to the Pritzker Pavillion for the weekly Grant Park Symphony concert (they're doing Beethoven's Pathetique that Wednesday). We'll probably end up parking out in Forest Park and taking the El in for the day.

For me the OT Meeting Place will always be the steps of the Art Institute. That's why I'm glad Millenium Park is The New Meeting Place because it makes between the lions a lot less crowded.
