Around SBN: Super Bowl XLVI: Eli Manning And The Meaning Of 'Elite'

Chicago-bound...

...this Friday.

 

I bought non-refundable airline tickets 'cause I figured, 'Hey, there's no way the Cubs are gonna get swept in the first round again.'

 

Oops.

 

What was going to be a long weekend filled with baseball and Wrigleyville watering holes instead looks like it'll be a stroll through a post-apocalyptic wasteland filled with zombified Cubs fans moaning, "Soriannnnno! Braaaaaaains!"

 


Any thoughts on activities to keep a mourning Cubs fan mildly entertained in the Second City?

 

As an aside, if any of the BCB regulars want to meet for a drink and commisurate, I'm all ears.

There are plenty of things to do

In the city…. have you been here before?

Yes, there are.

Find the latest copy of the Chicago Reader you can and go from there. Chicago is still a fantastic town.

Lots of things to do

There is a whole section on BCB of things to do in Chicago.

FYI if at all possible in future USE AIRLINE MILES. That is what I did so I can flip my ticket for this week to one for
either convention or first weekend home stand.

Marathon

The Chicago Marathon is Sunday, that would be fun to go watch, if the weather is nice.
