Maleficent- Chicago is one of my planned stops already. Got friend that lives there I'm stopping in on. I would have to stop there anyway, if just for a real Chicago deep dish pizza.
Squeeeb- some great ideas there. Lovecraft's grave is a must, given my travel partner.(see link in first post) The headless chicken thing sounds like it hold promise. What time of year you guys hold that one, and what the hell is it?
