Graph Expo 2008 — No Reason to Stay Home

Add one reason to recognize fall as “the season”—Graph Expo.

You need to get away from the plant for a few days. It’s a cheap working vacation—spend a few days in the Windy City, eat at some great restaurants (Shaw’s Crab House rules, raves Media Ink.’s Mark Bonacorso), and come in the Saturday before and catch the Blackhawks play the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings. Like music? There’s the House of Blues and Excalibur, not to mention countless jazz and blues clubs. The list of entertainment options is endless. Anyone who can’t enjoy themselves in Chicago clearly hasn’t left their hotel lobby.
