Gonna watch this from a relative's condo at Lake Point Towers Sunday downtown, which I do almost every year, so that should be cool. It's gonna be a smokin' weekend calling for 90's both days so it's really sweet to catch indoors 20 stories up over the Lake :(.... Starts at 11 which means leave about 4 hours ago....lol
Vince Vaughn is supposed to sky dive with these men, the Golden Knights, last year it was Bill Murray.

But still this thing will draw millions over the weekend total despite the concrete jungle heat, it does every year, as it's actually one of the most heavily attended, free, public events in the world, that is a fact Jack.
It used to be around the fourth of July the way I remember things yet I couldn't confirm it, then one summer it seems like they moved it to later in the summer to August for some God forsaken reason, when it's 400 degrees on the pavement in most of the city ...
Perhaps it's always been in August but I remember as a teen going down there earlier for this thing, but I could be wrong, although I doubt it ;) lol
