I'm traveling this week spending some time in Chicago and rather than letting another opportunity pass where I could be promoting awesomeness I thought I'd actually make some time to share the love.
So if you're in Chicago this week celebrating your post marathon accomplishments or attending one of the many conferences going on this week here are a few things you can get into:
Chicago Ideas Week 2013

The Goodman: Pullman Porter Blues
Description: It’s June of 1937, and the Panama Limited Pullman Train is speeding from Chicago to New Orleans on the night of the Joe Louis/James Braddock world heavyweight championship. Three generations of Sykes men—African American train porters—wrestle with ghosts of the past and dreams for the future as they eagerly await word of the Brown Bomber’s victory. Set to timeless Blues tunes performed by a live, on-stage band, Pullman Porter Blues is a spirited, music-infused ride you won’t soon forget!
