Day 2 (Day 1 later)

We had a gentle start to our day. Overall targets were to see the Bean (Cloud Gate sculpture), visit the Art Institute of Chicago, and maybe see a play or something else theatrical.

It was after 10 when we went in search of the half price ticket centre. I spent some time looking out our window, wondering why people were lining up on the side street immediately down from our window... turns out there was a kiosk for Conan OBrian. Don't know if rush tickets were on sale. Later, the kiosk was pretty much just a vending machine with T shirts.

Anyway, when we bought tickets, it was for Second City's E.T.C. stage, for 8 pm.

Plenty of time before then. Back to the room, then to the Bean.

It's totally engaging, and different from every point. Compare outside (above) to inside ( below)

And again, to the very middle:

The obligatory jumping didn't turn out that well. A stomp did though.

Then it was off to the Art Institute of Chicago. But more on that later. My noisy neighbours have gone to bed. At last. So must I.
