Chicago 3 Times in 2009: #2 Theater Friends in Cool Plays


In March, we headed back to Chicago because both Jane and Karen were doing some serious theater.  Jane was in New Anatomies, the story of Isabelle Eberhardt, at 20% Theater and Karen was in The Quiet Man Tales at The Chicago Theater.  We really enjoyed both, and so good to see my theater girls!  I always miss them.  (And theater.)

We sure have a lot of pictures of me drinking...

The morning after the last show, we checked out of our usual hotel, the Congress Plaza Hotel on Michigan Avenue, just after a crisp snowfall.  On the way home, we stopped at the Chicago Diner, a vegetarian restaurant I have always wanted to visit.  So delicious...

The Congress Hotel has had a picket line out front for years now.  Are we bad for crossing it?  Is this why the beautiful rooms are so reasonably prized?

I'm finally going to get to eat here!
Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about...
