Daring stunts! Breathtaking spectacles! Plus, there’s an Air & Water Show going on! Join us for good company and a great show.
WHEN: Sunday, August 16th
Noon - 4pm
WHERE: We’ll be congregating on the concrete terraces along the waterfront just south of the Diversey Harbor boat inlet (north of Fullerton). It’s directly east of a monument to Emmanuel Swedenborg (an obscure Swedish scientist). See the map below, and look for the rainbow umbrellas when you get there!
DETAILS: Bring LOTS of sunscreen and water! Please also bring your own blankets, chairs and picnic goodies, if you’d like. Parking near the lakefront, as always, can be a pain. To plan your trip using public transportation, check out the CTA’s Trip Planner. Just enter "N Lake Shore Dr & W Diversey Pkwy 60614" as your destination.
Special thanks to Gerry Berstell (Harvard) and Abby Drevs (Dartmouth) for planning this event.

WHEN: Saturday evening, July 18, 2009
WHERE: The SOUTH End of the Millennium Park Great Lawn - nearest to the new Art Institute Modern Wing.
See location on park map here:
HOW TO FIND OUR GROUP:
Look for us at the indicated place in the Great Lawn. Note that we’ll have TWO RAINBOW UMBRELLAS set on the ground, as shown in the following photo.
The earlier you arrive, the easier it will be to find our group!
COST: Bring your own chair/blanket and picnic goodies; no cost beyond what you spend on your own food. Note that the Chicago Park District has a rule against alcoholic beverages on park grounds, but this is generally enforced only during “Taste of Chicago.” At worst, bottles or cans will be confiscated. Best to keep bottles and cans in paper bags. Preferably bring plastic glassware, as glass can be hazardous.
RSVP: Requested, so we can reserve enough blanket space. RSVP to gberstell@post.harvard.edu.
This event has been organized by: NUGALA’s Marc McClellan, HGLC’s Gerry Berstell, Yale GALA’s Mike Rosanova, and U of C’s Eric Rogers.
