Lol I remember that. I did that boat tour two years ago. $50 for a two hour trip.
I have family that live in Chicago and more that live nearby. We keep saying we're going to do the architecture tour but we haven't done it yet. I've heard good things. Would you say it's worthwhile? We got a Groupon deal on a Chicago mob tour several years ago and had a good time.
Yes I thought it was worth it. All those skyscrapers have architectural easter eggs that you can only see from the river. Everyone on the boat groaned when we came around a bend and you could see the giant TRUMP sign on his building. Someone from the Chicago Architectural Society narrates the history via mic and pa system. If you do the trip make sure to bring a jacket its cold on the river even in the summer.
Thank you! I definitely need to get us together to do it. The focus right now is my nephew's recent cancer diagnosis, but maybe next summer would be a good time. We used to do a Sibling Day in Chicago every summer, but we haven't been able to do it for the last couple of years for health reasons. I'll try suggesting it for next summer.
Also, I don't know why, but I really hate DMB. They're so bland, but I hate them all out of proportion anyway.
I listen to Phish, and even as someone with terrible music taste I'm not a fan.
DMB and Trey Anastasio Band played a 100 person birthday party for some billionaire at the Yellowstone Club in Montana. I was going to make a joke about that being like the Dead playing at Bohemian grove, but I looked it up and that has actually happened a few times.
Oh no, that feels bad. There's something about the Dead performing at Bohemian Grove that just seems extra perverse. I can't remember why or when Brace yelled "What does God want me to do with this information?" but this is another situation where my brain has dredged it up out of storage. 
So do I
Isn't it funny? The music is totally bland, middle of the road junk. Why do I hate it so passionately?
They were my ex's favorite band so Ive seen them live and listened to them more than I ever care to admit
Oh noooooooooo
Crash? More like splash.
You made the song start playing in my head!
