Afternoon in the Core
Downtown Chicago Saturday afternoon
The lake isnt bioluminescent (usually) but Chicago gives Ariel a run for its money when it comes to things to do. We couldnt choose, so well let you! The hotel is right downtown, and it is easy to take public transportation to major sites (much easier, in fact, than driving and parking). We will provide detailed information on how to:
Shop the Magnificent Mile
Explore the Apple Computer Store.
Visit the Art Institute, Adler Planetarium, Field Museum of Natural History, or Shedd Aquarium
Enjoy Navy Pier or Grant Park and Buckingham Fountain.
Rent bicycles to ride down the lake front
See the (space) monkeys and or other shiny animals at Lincoln Park Zoo. Admission is FREE.
A list of activities and sign up sheets will be available in the Blue Sun Room on Friday night. Chicagoland Browncoats and Browncoat Ball Volunteers will act as guides for the most popular activities.
Browncoat Ball
Saturday Evening at 7:00 pm
It's the social event of the season!
This is an exclusive event, so please present your invitation at the door.
A catered buffet will be provided for dining throughout the evening.
There will be music and dancing
Costumes are optional, but we encourage you to dress up! There will be prizes! Ladies, we suggest dresses that are as poofy as possible...or something with a little slink. Drag out your old prom and bridesmaids dresses, or wear a period costume as seen in Shindig. Gentlemen, we suggest brown dress coats or period outfits as seen in Shindig. Remember, no side-arms are allowed!
Prizes will be presented for Mr. and Ms. Persephone, the Most Kaylee-fied Dress, the Captain Tightpants Award (for the gentleman with the tightest pants), the Atherton Wing Award (for the gentleman most likely to get into a duel by the end of the evening), and the Ms. Banning Miller Award (for the lady who can be coaxed out of her costume the quickest). Ballots and ballot boxes will be found on the tables in the ballroom.
