Chicago: of many things to do.

A fun-filled concert with many different topics (if you choose to call them at), chances for audience participation, and lots of toilet paper. Although this is all fun, beware of blinking lights. Your best chance of being picked for audience participation in to sit in a seat near the steps. Also, you may want to sit in the poncho section, where sometimes during the performance you will get splattered with something (they will give you a poncho). At the end of the concert you can get your picture with one person of the group.

Hour-long boat cruise through Chicago. You learn a lot about the buildings and Chicago history. You also get to see very cool bridges going over the river.
