Jets shot water up to two stories straight up. Very fun to watch.

Love that neo-Gothic style. More information on the Tribune Tower.
This is the Fouth Presbyterian Church. It ended up in the midst of a bunch of tall buildings.
The building slopes inwards as it rises, so when you take a picture like this, it looks even taller than it actually is.
It’s still pretty dang tall.
Framed by skyscrapers.
The Chicago Water Tower looks pretty amazing, its baroque style set in the midst of a bustling, modern city.
I’m back from the American Chemical Society National Meeting in Chicago. There were 15,000 chemists there, with endless events, awards (our Chem Club (well, Student Affiliate Chapter) earned “Commendable” (place 2 out of 3)), and a whole pile of food. Plus, Chicago is a pretty neat place. McCormick Place is huge (how does 2.2 million square feet of space strike you?).
Didn’t make it to this one—this is the view from our hotel room.
And now, tumbledry presents things I have seen in the past couple of days. Thing 1: I saw Conan O’Brien doing his opening show of the week in Chicago. The audience was huge and almost out of control. It was like a rock concert sometimes. Mr. T gave Conan a tour of the city and other hijinks ensued. Late Night is such great television. I watched the show for longer than I had intended to, but the time was well spent. You may ask the question “why does a show go on the road” but I would counter with … why not?
