You KNOW that Bubba's on here...

Boomer - try to stay someplace in the burbs. If you don't mind having to drive a little, you can stay 15 miles outside of downtown in a nice suburb for less than $100 per night. I'm lucky - I only live 2 hours from there, but I won't be able to go to the show because of the date. I highly recommend driving though. Don't try to park downtown either - the parking is absolutely outrageous. They will also charge an "amusement tax" on damn near anything you do in Chicago. I find it kind of amusing because Mayor Daley is always talking about ways to bring people downtown, but he makes it totally cost prohibitive to actually go there.
