I stay for eight nights, and leave on Wednesday, June 6, in the early morning. Except for Saturday when we'll be meeting for brunch and the Cub's game, I have not made any plans.
Ah, found CI's departure info. Sublime, it looks like the only thing possible would be Tuesday night -- depending on your own energy level.

Thomas, joe, sublime, Mr B, and I enjoyed the show last year and we'll be glad to come down some evening to see the new one if there's any interest. Friday is already pretty full but we could come down either Saturday or Sunday evening.
If we want to do Second City, we should get a headcount ASAP. Weekend shows sell out quickly.
just checked the online tickets - Saturday's early show is sold out and the 11:00 pm show has 'limited' availability (fahgetaboutit - I don't do midnight very well).
Sunday is open but it won't let me put in a mock order. I'll call the ticket counter at 10:00 when it opens and see what our options are for a group of 6-8.
<bummer> They have seats available for the 11:00 pm shows on Friday and Saturday. Sunday is sold out to a private party that has purchased all the seats.
next great idea?
edit: there are also tickets available for Tuesday, June 5th. We would miss Walter, but it's an option if anyone is interested.
Tuesday is fine with me, so count me in.
Gargamel is interested in Saturday brunch and jp is interested in Second City (hasn't heard about it only being on Tuesday yet).
The group grows!
and the problem with that is.............?
Not quite the Sunday Drive it was last year... course I could get lucky and an early hurricane could justify the expense!
Ya know, JetBlue's got a bit of a sale on.
Book before June 1st, travel before June 15th ... get a $50 voucher toward autumn travel ...
O'Bill could hit NY (it is a JetBlue hub after all) as well as Chicago ...
Hmmmm..... JoeNation is about to owe me a dinner....

That's close enough, swimpy. An afternoon in the Wrigley Field bleachers will increase your language skills tremendously.

Bleachers? Fooey! We got box seats, my friend.
Box seats sound great, joe. Should be a nice experience for Walter, c.i. and Swimpy. A group photo at Wrigley Field would be a nice addition for this thread.

I'm sure, joe will try his best and engage e.g. Derrek Lee or someone else to take that photo.

Wow! I won't know how to act! I think that's worth more than one beer, Joe.

Just follow my lead.
That could get me into trouble
