      Hey everyone! I live in Omaha, NE and will be visiting Chicago on Friday 9-7 and will be leaving Sunday morning 9-9. Just wondering if there are any awesome shows going on that weekend, or any other bars/venues/sandwich or pizza shops I should check out. This will be my first time in Chicago, so any suggestions would be great!!

      Thanks!

      Kevin
