Chicago - Friday Aug 30

Gern Blansten

Anything good going on? I was looking at maybe hitting the zoo, possibly hitting the Fever game that night but tix are like $250 each on TM.

Might just do the standard Field Museum or Shedd's visit.

We are looking too. Staying at the DoubleTree Hilton at Magnificent Mile.

We did the Cubs game last year and didnt want to do that again. 
Maybe spend the day at the pool, then hit up the Bean, then Navy Pier. The bands on the river were awesome last year. Also now a ballys casino there.

Cubs might be difficult as their building is occupied...

White sox are in town.  Architecture boat tour is well worth it.

DO you know where does the boat tour launch from and where to get tickets? Were from NJ so that sounds awesome. Only been to CHI for PJ shows.

Bally's might be cool. I forgot to mention the White Sox but they suck this year...not sure that really matters though. Nice ballpark but we went a few years ago really wanting a chicago dog and the one we got at the park really sucked.

The architecture boat tours are fantastic- highly recommended.

My experience is that you might want to book a tour now...they do sell out during preferred times

We're likely doing the White Sox game.

Where is a good spot to watch the Badgers on 8/30 near Magnificent Mile?

There is a hotel bar that calls itself the badger bar of Chicago near mag mile. Have to check back. Went here pre PJ20

Bikini Kill is playing at the Salt Shed if you're feeling more Washington state Grunge live music

good find...

Also recommend the architecture boat tour. 
No ticketmaster fees if you buy in person, but obviously risk availability. Can always buy for a future date/time if you're staying nearby

Yeah I've been in that one...I noticed their reviews aren't quite as good but the Sway store is relatively new.

The vapes are considered "oil" right? So 2.5g limit for non-residents?
