I just realized how depressing it is that I live in Chicago instead of SF as a tech professional.

With that said, comprehensive list. Even though I can't use it, I think it highlights some great activities SFBA HN readers would enjoy.

Chicago is great (albeit in the summer)!

* Run along Lake Michigan

* Check out the super awesome theatre scene in the Loop

* Check out awesome off-Loop theatre companies, too!

* Nerd Nite Chicago! http://chicago.nerdnite.com

* ComedySportz Improv contests! http://comedysportzchicago.com/

* See a Cubs game at Wrigley Field

* Volunteer at One Brick Chicago: http://chicago.onebrick.org

There's a bunch, you just have to go out and find it. :) The problem I had with Chicago (I used to live in Uptown) was that it snows for 9 months outta the year, and you're too cold to actually go out and do anything. And once you get home and get dry/warm, you don't wanna go back out again. That suuuuucks.

The trick was to stop and do these things on the way home from work, so you only go home once! ;)
