If we get enough interested people and a definite date, then chances are decently good that I'd be there. I'm not as familiar with Chicago as I should be seeing as I've lived near it my entire life, but since I live so close by, I have little excuse to not go.

Here's just a few ideas of what we can do:
Baseball game (cubs or sox)
Not a bad idea. It'd be much cooler to go to one of the games in the Cubs vs. Sox series but tickets for that are very expensive. I've been to games at both stadiums and they're both great places to go, though I prefer the Sox ;)
Good ol Navy Pier
It is the definition of 'reliable.' It's a cool place to hang out for a few hours but I don't think you could make an entire day out of it.
Dick around at water tower place
Never been there. I'll take your word for it that there's something to do there.
Taste of Chicago
It would definitely give us a decent idea of when the meetup would take place. Not much represents the city as well as The Taste, so I think a meetup during that time should definitely be considered.
Millenium Park
I like the idea. It's near a few interesting places too and it would just be a general hangout spot. Again, it's something I picture as a place to go for a few hours rather than the entire day.
Jerry Springer (We would have to work on this ASAP, for we need to purchase tickets in advance, and its 18+)
It kind of excludes those who are under 18 and I thought they moved the show to Connecticut.
Some kind of music festival (Lollapalooza, Bluesfest, etc.)
I think it could work for a smaller group, but a large group in the chaos would easily get separated. Still, it'd be an all day thing and a nice backdrop for a meet.
