NAME OF EVENT: Millennium Park Fursuiting - 11/16/13
DATE: Saturday, November 16th
TIME: From 3:00 to 6-7-ish
WHAT IS IT?: We're going fursuiting in Millennium Park and the surrounding area for a few hours, before the bowling meet later that night! Furry gear (ears/tails/etc.) is welcome, too, if you don't have a fursuit.
FURSUITERS: Fursuiters can meet up around 3:00 near the SE lobby on Level TWO of the Millennium Park Parking Garage. (It can be a little tricky to find- follow the signs for "Segway tours" and you'll make it there!)
If you're late, the parking garage is still a good place to suit up- it's pretty vacant so there's little chance of "ruining the magic"! Hopefully, we'll be able to head out by 3:30.
WHERE TO FIND US: If you arrive before 3:30, there's a staircase on the corner of Monroe St. and Columbus Dr. that leads right to the lobby, where the fursuiters will be getting ready (we'd appreciate it if some handlers could meet us there).
COST: The parking garage costs around $25. Otherwise, it's absolutely free!

This is literally 60 seconds east of The Bean- this pic was taken right in front of that big open field of grass where they have concerts/events sometimes.
I have no idea what you are referring to. I can only assume that this is in another town, at the very least, if it's even in the same country lol

I sincerely hope that your statement about not knowing what country this event is taking place in was hyperbole-- considering the fact that this was posted in the IllinoisFurs group, I would say that it is pretty safe to assume that this event is taking place somewhere within the state of Illinois in the United States. Millennium Park is a park located in the "Loop" community area of the city of Chicago. It is bordered by Columbus Drive to the North, Monroe Street to the East, Michigan Avenue to the South, and Randolph Street to the West. Considering the size of the park, there probably isn't one address for it. Saying the four streets that it lies between is probably the best that can be done. "The Bean" is the local nickname for a very famous public sculpture in the park. The official name for this sculpture is the "[url=]Cloud Gate[/url]." Hopefully this helps clear things up for you, and if it doesn't be sure to click on the Wikipedia articles that I linked to throughout this entire post for more information. These articles contain maps of the park and everything.

Oops. Apparently I forgot to add-in the link to the Wikipedia article on the "Cloud Gate." The article for that public sculpture can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_Gate
All I saw was "Millenium Park Fursuiting 11/16/13". I read through the description, and saw no mention of a location. I'm sorry the world doesn't revolve around your little country and that you expect everyfur to know what some small insignificant monument means.
Hmmm, this might be my fault, I usually have the word Chicago in the title but I guess I forgot this time. Sorry for the confusion.
Oh sure, the world doesn't revolve around our little country, but this page revolves around the state of Illinois, so the amount of detail is perfectly within reason.
To be honest, I didn't know where the location was either. I live downstate. I have seen plenty of activities from Illinois furs relating to Bloomington and a couple of other towns. I was getting ready to Google it until I saw other's comments. Adding the town would have been helpful.
Few people know it as "Cloud Gate", its official name. This is the Bean, and the fursuiters are standing next to the stadium directly to the east: http://goo.gl/maps/k3gnd
That is the western Wall of the Band Shell. The view is looking east over teh grassy picnic area and Lake michigan is in the background, to the right in the picture is the seating area and the stage, Behind the photographer is the Bean
Oh how i miss chicago. I might have to plan a trip out thar and bring my suit sometime in the near future
I wish St. Louis was more fursuit friendly. Southern IL is a couple days trip for a simple outing and bowling.
You should look at the STL furs. The group seems to be comming back again. There have been several bowling events over the summer and there is a marti gras weekend plannd for Feb .
Went to bowling events and already plan on going to Murrigras. I was talking more along the lines of feeling safe fursuiting in public in St.Louis

Today's forecast
Areas of drizzle before 1pm, then a chance of showers between 1pm and 3pm, then showers and possibly a thunderstorm after 3pm. High near 59. Breezy, with a south wind around 20 mph, with gusts as high as 35 mph. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch, except higher amounts possible in thunderstorms.
That forecast as well as the damp weather causing aches and pains in my back and legs, Its unlikely that I will be coming today :) I was kind of looking forward to this. over the last few months I have been busy when the meet took place and wasn't able to make it. With the stiff and soreness and the rain today its not looking good for me :(
