Chicago reference guides
Can anyone recommend some good references for finding things to do while in Chicago? In particular, live music. Other pluses are events, attractions, festivals, food. There are, of course, a plethora so I'd like to know which are the best. Timeout, Chicago Reader, Metromix, ChooseChicago..what do the locals use or which are the best?
Thank you!
Thank you!

For years my go-to site was Metromix, but I think it was a victim of its own popularity...drove me crazy when the "events" listings included every single happy hour at every single bar in town.
I'd probably recommend timeout.com/chicago for event listings.

And this might be worth a look, though it seems to be winding down for the year: http://www.cityofchicago.org/city/en...festivals.html
