So in September I applied for a scholarship to attend the Breast Cancer Network of Strength conference in Chicago. I received an e-mail later in the month thanking me for applying but sorry, no scholarship. Oh well. Then two weeks later I receive an e-mail that they have found some additional scholarship money and I’ve been awarded one. 
So from November 6th until November 8th I will be in Chicago. The flight and hotel are booked, kids will stay with Dad and here’s where I need your help. I don’t know anything about Chicago other than the fact that I want to try to get to the Art Institute at some point. I will have two evenings free and am open to suggestions from people who know. Where should I eat? What should I do? The hotel is in the seven hundred block of South Michigan Avenue if that tells you anything and I will not have a car. I know there’s pretty good mass transit so I’m sure I’ll use that. I’ll be in workshops from approximately 8-4.
Suggestions, warnings, tricks are all welcome and needed.
