PMF21 - if you're going to see NoSoup in Green Bay, you might as well stop by Chicago. There are a bunch of us here if you want to try a meetup. And Chicago's a pretty cool place at times. You can go have a beer at the Berghoff (liquor license #1 in the city and still brews their own brand of beer). The museums are really neat if you're into that kind of stuff (dinosaurs, German U-boats, beluga whales, etc.). Wrigleyville on a game day is a whole lot of fun, even if they lose. And it's possible to buy a single ticket to some of the rooftops mid-week, if you know who to ask. The White Sox, despite everything that sucks about them (and there's too much to list here), do have great food at their park. There are architectural tours, gangster tours and river tours. You could eat your way through the city if that's what you want, having a different genre of food for ever meal for a week without repeating. There's also all sorts of music and plays going on.
Beyond that, you could go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, see Ruby Falls and Rock City, tour the Confedarama, visit the Jack Daniels distillery, ride the rollercoaster on top of the Stratosphere, see the LDS Temple in SLC, go to the top of the St. Louis Arch, take a boat ride on Lake Minnetonka on the same boat as the infamous Vikings booze cruise, cook your own steak at Rube's in Iowa, sleep overnight inside the Lost Sea (world's largest underground lake), have a Pat O'Brien's hurricane, hike to the top of Pikes Peak or walk from Fishermans Wharf to the Golden Gate.
Just some ideas.
