if you like him and he invited you, then you should go...

the magnificent mile is good for shopping... there's a hip-style area (the whole coffee shop/art/alternapunk scene) near U of Chi campus. the city is littered with good italian restaurants--the hotel can help with good ones nearby. navy pier can be nice for walks for talking, although a tad chilly now. several museums are grouped together, and they aren't stuffy like most cleveland museums. one might be nice for walking. i like the shedd aquarium a lot. i'd check out that chicago website that was mentioned elsewhere. and i'm sure if you google.com "rockabilly chicago" you'd get a ton of hits.

have fun!

ohhh I adore chicago,

used to go there alot with my ex-fiance
when we lived in valparaiso indiana, about
an hour away from the city

a lot of really fantastic resturants
and small venues to see some cool musical
shows catering to a lot of underground music.

I'm sure you'll have a good time
