The extra-conference activities are going to awesome. Blue Man Group is a
wild techno- romp that is visually stunning and assaulting on the senses.
Here's a quote from their website...
"...The three actors are accompanied by an excellent rock band located high
above the stage. The show is part sideshow, part percussion extravaganza,
part video, part modern art exhibit. But all of it is interactive, and all
of it is extremely entertaining. It's hard to fully describe a show whose
props include Jell-O, marshmallows, twinkies, lots of paint, tons of paper,
fiberglass pipes, tubes, tubes and more tubes..."
We've taken you to weddings at past conferences, this year it's a Wake,
here's a clip from their website...
"...FLANAGAN'S WAKE, the Midwest's only interactive Irish wake, is entering
its third smash year at the Royal George Theatre in the heart of Chicago's
Northside theatre district. You'll laugh, you'll sing, you'll perhaps shed
a tear as you join Chicago's finest interactive comedy troupe in bidding
farewell to the finest man who ever passed out in the streets of Grapplin,
County Sligo, a classic Irish village full of engaging characters..."
