Hello everyone,

I will be visiting Chicago for the first time this weekend. Anything you guys suggest I check out?
Landing on Friday, stupid Black Friday, so don't know if it'll be crazy the way it gets out here.

I would also love to hang out with any Skullbrainers on Saturday if anyone has the chance.
I understand its that time of the year for families and eating, so if it can't happen oh well.

Natural History Museum has several mold-a-rama machines! ...and of course rotofugi is cool.

Blanking on the name - sorry - but when you hit Rotofugi, ask them about the Wicker Park bar that has (had?) an annual sofubi display. I'm not sure if it's still happening, but you used to able to depend on this place to have a HUGE monster diorama in their old storefront display area every holiday season. 'Twas cool.

Pictures, please, if it's still a thing.

Edit: Remembered the name...

Rainbo Club  
1150 N Damen Ave, Chicago, IL 60622

i wish i would have known about this when i was there 2 weeks ago.

If you collect records go to the reckless records in wicker park its my favorite Chicago record store

Im an SAIC student, want me to get you into the Art Institute of Chicago for free?

Also, theres rotofugi and a few other stores that have toys if you want that and all around them good food and stuff to be had.

I say a visit to logan arcade (for killer queen) and maybe a slice of pizza or bbq with poutine and you'll be set for a night. Let me know if you need a tour guide, I love giving a tour.


and yeah, rainbo is a great dive.

Welcome to Chicago!

Galerie F is a fun spot if you're into urban art. Vertical Gallery is also nice.
Food wise there's the Girl and the Goat but it might be hard to get a reservation. They have a sister restaurant across the street that is for walk ins.
If you find anything else cool let us know. I'm out there a couple times a year including Christmas
