    The visuals were so blurry, that one could not even read the credits. The sound was very good,…read morebut i wouldn't ever go there again.

    I thought because of the updated theater experience I'd be updating with a higher rating. Noooope…read more When we get to the front of the line, a register opens up. The girl at the register just stares at us. So we walk over. No hi, hey, or how you doing. Literally silence. It was pretty awkward. We ordered our tickets. Then she finally speaks after we get our tickets. "Enjoy the movie." Then as we're walking away I hear her say, ""Hi, how are you tonight?" to the next people. Ok. We decided to skip snacks and drinks. Went to our seats. The seats are good but not great. If you didn't know, you can order cooked food now. That's awesome but there's no where to sit your food. I'm guessing you put it in your lap. That's the other downside. I had to smell my neighbors onion rings. Bleh. Not my idea of setting the atmosphere. My last beef is the main reason I won't be going back. I decided I was thirsty. I get in line. The kid at the register looked up at me. I'd say I was third in line. The first person gets there items and leaves. He tells the next lady, he'll be right back. He comes back. Takes her order. Gets her stuff and leaves. He walks away. Doesn't say anything to me. I'm waiting and waiting. I finally look over and this guy is at another register taking someone's order! I was irritated. He knew I was there. I skipped buying a drink. I just wanted to watch my movie and leave. If you want to see how a movie experience like this is supposed go then travel to the CMX at the Mall of America. You can order food AND the seats come with trays to put your food on. The seating is comfortable and not cramped. This location was more concerned with how many recliner seats they can squeeze in. Oh..best part at CMX if you want a drink then you can easily get one. Shocking!

    Love it! Cool venue and terrific performances. My only suggestion is to not sell popcorn or other…read moresnacks in crunchy plastic bags. A couple of heavy munchers a few rows back disrupted the performance for many by their incessant chomping and bag crinkling. Practice silent snacking!

    The Illinois Shakespeare Festival is a rotating series of three plays presented each year from late…read moreJune through early August. This is world class theater, attracting professional actors from around the country. It is organized/managed by Illinois State University, but the plays are performed in an outdoor theater at Ewing Manor (located at the corner of Emerson and Towanda). The theather itself is comfortable, and there isn't a bad seat in the house. The grounds of Ewing Manor are beautiful, and part of the Festival involves your chance to explore the grounds/gardens before the performance. In fact, you can bring a picnic and enjoy dinner on the lawn before the show starts. Weekend nights often feature live music, and a few nights during the season offer "special" themes, such as ISU alumni night, WGLT night, etc.. There are many great things about this Festival, but for me the best thing is the overall experience: a beautiful location, live music (on the weekends), and great live theater. I'm not even a fan of Shakespeare per se. I don't read his works and can't understand half of what he's written, but the quality of this event keeps me coming back year after year. Do yourself a favor and try it out.

    Project Linus is a nonprofit organization that distributes handmade security blankets to children…read morein hospitals and shelters, across the US. One of my daughters received a Project Linus blanket, while a patient in a NICU at Texas Children's Hospital (TCH). With so many other more worthy-sounding charities vying for our time & money, I don't think I'd have fully appreciated the value of this charity's work, had we not received a blanket for our daughter. But Project Linus' gift to our family has been matched only by that from Ronald McDonald House--my daughter's blanket is probably the most meaningful possession we own. My twin daughters were born at Texas Children's. One has a serious congenital heart defect--tetralogy of Fallot w stenosis of the left pulmonary artery. And whereas we knew before her birth that she would be an inpatient at TCH, just after she was born, we didn't know for how long. Actually, we weren't even told our daughter's true diagnosis until I was 9 cm dilated in labor. Then, due to a series of miscommunications & mistakes by my obstetric practice & Neonatology, I didn't see my girls for the 1st ~13 1/2 hrs of their lives. And once reunited with them, my babies were completely unfamiliar to me. Initially, I was in shock & blamed myself for everything--my daughter's heart defect (& her twin's related one), the traumatic nature of the girls' deliveries, & my inability to see my babies as mine. I feared that the medical personnel who were meant to care for my daughters & I, didn't, b/c I was inherently unlikeable, & I was terrified that I would garner ill-will toward my critically-ill daughter & compromise her neonatal & cardiac care. My daughter received her name when she was 7 days old; she also received her Project Linus blanket. This was chosen for her by her favorite nurse, Shiji M. It suits her down to the ground--it's a red & white patchwork quilt, printed w strawberries. Red is the color I associate w her; strawberries are her favorite food. My daughter spent her first month of life at TCH. Blankie moved with baby as she was transferred from ward, to ward, to ward, & finally home. Somehow, seeing my daughter resting on the richly-colored backdrop of her blankie eased the transitions for me. It provided continuity. And having such a familiar object that followed my little one, wherever she went, especially one that I associate so strongly w her, helped my daughter herself seem familiar to me, as increasingly, physical contact enabled me to feel that she was mine. Moreover, it was incredibly humbling to think of someone taking the time to make such a lovely thing for our daughter--however unlovable her mother might be, someone cared about her. And this eased my worries for my baby, just a bit. So initially, my daughter's Project Linus blanket was MY security blanket; but as time has passed, it's become hers. It adorns her bed. It serves as a stroller-blanket. And she uses it to play peek-a-boo. In another year, I imagine she'll use it to swaddle her dolls. And it will certainly accompany her to TCH when she returns for cardiac catheterizations & surgeries. Blankets donated through Project Linus needn't be elaborate. Project Linus will accept most any blanket, provided it is new, unused, handmade, washable, & reasonably-free of germs; mold; mildew; smoke; chemical contaminants; & pet-hair. Our daughter's blanket came with a tag giving the name & contact info of the "Blanketeer" who made it--an especially lovely touch--but even that isn't required. A few months ago, my family & I had the chance to give back to Project Linus. We made our first No-Sew fleece blanket at a Blanketeering event at a local school, in Houston, TX. It was a very well thought-out idea for an event--children as young as 3 years old chose the fabric they wished to make their blankets from, & w supervision, fashioned blankets by cutting off the selvage, & cutting & tying fringe. (Detailed instructions are available at: http://www.projectlinus.org/patterns/pdf/NoSewFB.pdf, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59h8wgDgTRg.) So the Blanketeering event benefited not only those children who will be receiving blankets, but those who volunteered to help make them. In all, Project Linus is an incredibly worthy charity that provides security blankets made by caring Blanketeers to children desperate for caring & security, many of who's family members are too. One needs no special skills to complete a No-Sew blanket--even very young children can do this. If you'd like more information on Project Linus, or wish to make a monetary donation, or that of a blanket or blanket-making materials, visit http://www.projectlinus.org, or contact your local chapter coordinator.
