Myself and some friends are going to be in Chicago for most of next week... Is there anything going on? Art shows, parties etc..? Even if anyone has a great resource to share like a blog, that talks about nifty shit going on in the city. Even any people we should get a hold of and meet up with?

Chicago rules. I live here. But i gotta say, there isn't a ton to do here that u can't do anywhere else.
This is a drinking town, so if u like getting wasted till 4am, we gotcha covered :)

Basically, my wife and I are always looking for a reason to move there... love the city etc.. We go like twice a year and don't really end up doing anything more than hit a museum, eat a lot and walk around Wicker Park. I just feel like we lose the opportunity to see the super rad stuff when we're in town. Not really any hook ups there yet.

I lived there for 10 year, great place in the good weather months. I think a fun thing to do would be to rent bikes at Navy Pier ( http://www.bikechicago.com/ ) and go up and down the lakefront. Bring a picnic and you are all set for a nice day.

chicago sucks purely because of the weather. i lived there for a year, but i guess 100 degrees doesn't jive with everyone.

whenever i have friends in town and they want to see the city i take them to the signature room at the john hancock for a quick bloody mary, shedd aquarium, bar hopping in west loop and downtown, then end the night at kingston mines (if you have not been here this is a must, they close at about 4am, good blues music)
and yes studderine delilahs is a good spot too. i go there a lot.
also look into the architectural tour at the navy pier, that was very fun but it is quite a commitment.
