Cool. I hope I'm in town for this. Sounds awesome.
LOOPTOPIA
May 11, LOOPTOPIA will be America’s first dusk-to-dawn cultural and artistic spectacle showcasing the vibrancy and excitement of Chicago’s historic Loop neighborhood through musical and theatrical performances, unique shopping and dining opportunities, indoor programs, outdoor exhibitions, architectural tours, artistic installations and mesmerizing light displays.Inspired by “White Night” events in Rome, Montreal and Paris, LOOPTOPIA will feature over 75 events staged throughout the Loop including museums, gardens, plazas, cultural halls, storefronts, theatres, night clubs, libraries, cinemas, restaurants, loading docks and alleyways.
LOOPTOPIA will literally transform the entire Loop into a sensory playground with cutting edge lighting and design elements that will immerse the Looptopia visitor in amazing sights and sounds.
LOOPTOPIA’s first-year footprint roughly extends from Wacker Drive to Congress Parkway and from Dearborn to Lake Michigan. We hope to add to this area in future years.

Looptopia sounds like a blast to me also. My friends and I will be at the Miss Looptopia Launch Party that evening at the Hard Rock Hotel on Michigan Avenue. A spoof, improv drag beauty pageant inside a cocktail party - sound hilarious and a perfect way to get our drinks and laughs on before heading out into the city for the night. See you there?

I don't know if I'll be there or not.
