Trying to find fun stuff to do is easier than ever, both in cyberspace and in the real world. I'm planning a weekend trip to Chicago to see the USC - Notre Dame game in two months, and I'm trying to figure out what to do Saturday night and Sunday. So far, it looks like Navy Pier is the place to be on Saturday night. For Sunday, we're still trying to decide. I've considered and ruled out the Smith Museum of Stained Glass Windows, which, when it debuted in 2000, was the first museum in the United States dedicated solely to stained glass windows. Imagine that. And to think that my hometown still doesn't have a museum dedicated solely to stained glass windows. We are so bass-ackwards.
Anyhow, here's another list of stuff I've seen online in the past week or so.
