I highly recommend the architecture tour. I went on it a couple years ago and it was just amazing—such a great way to see Chicago. Plus, you can walk about a half mile south on Michigan Ave. afterwards and have perhaps the world's best hamburger at The Gage.

Plus also? Beer.

I hope they have improved their entry system. The last two times I tried to go we aborted because the line was insanely long.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'll be around Chicagoland after the F2F (duh...live here) and will not be working because, yay!, first summer off as a teacher!

I live in the far west 'burbs now, but could be up for meeting people downtown for something.
