Spring Break destination advice and suggestions
I know it's a little early to bring up Spring Break, but this year will be my last Spring Break as an undergrad, so I'd like to, y'know, leave the state and do something for once.
So I've decided to go to Chicago. I've never been there, and Gaelic Storm, one of my favorite live bands, is doing a show at the Chicago House of Blues on March 16, which falls during my school's Spring Break. (I actually have March 10-18 to play with, but will probably go the 15th through 18th, because that's the only time my friend is available to go with me.) Since parking costs an arm and a leg downtown, I'm probably going to take a bus, perhaps Amtrak if it comes to that.
Anybody from the Chicago area have any suggestions about stuff to do, especially any special events happening March 10-18?
And, of course, please share any plans and pose any questions you might have for Spring Break travel. If anyone's looking to go to Detroit, I can help you with that. *snerk*

Whoa, I'm definitely going to Antarctica! I wanna see penguins
The spring break is ridiculously short, they expect us to rest in a week while we have our exams coming up shortly after that! 
I wish it was my summer break...

Gaelic Storm? In Chicago? Wow!
...wait, I'm in California. Damn. Gaelic Storm is great, but not great enough to go all the way to Illinois.

If anyone's going to Disney, I'll help you out, but my sincerest advice is not to.
Personally, I've always wanted to visit Alaska. Don't know why, as I hate it when the temp drops below 65 here. 
The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

Re: Spring Break destination advice and suggestions
I really wouldn't know anything about Chicago, but I hope you have much fun.
I wanna go to China and visit everyone, but I'm rather sure the space has been taken up by the doctor. ... And I'm poor.
I dont' see why people come vistit San Antonio in general. Its made of old and scary and half the people here refuse to talk to you in English because you should respect their Spanish. ~___~ It's also usually obscenely hot, but is currently covered in ice. *curls up in a ball* I can't help you get here though.
...I had a dream that penguins came into a broken window during my sleep because it was getting cold outside? Yeah, subconcious me isn't that bright.
