Chicagoland is an informal name for the Chicago metro area, used primarily by copywriters, advertising agencies, and traffic reporters. There is no precise definition for the term Chicagoland, but it generally means around Chicago or relatively local. The Chicago Tribune, which coined the term, includes the city of Chicago, the rest of Cook County, eight nearby Illinois counties; Lake, McHenry, DuPage, Kane, Kendall, Grundy, Will and Kankakee, and three counties in Indiana; Lake, Porter, and LaPorte. The Illinois Department of Tourism defines Chicagoland as Cook County without the city of Chicago, and only Lake, DuPage, Kane and Will counties. The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce defines it as all of Cook, and DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry and Will counties.

Many women would kill for the role of Grandmama in the all new The Addams Family musical, but Jackie Hoffman says she s pissed because she doesn t get to sing her own song and her stage time is being whittled down to next to nothing. So while she s in town, she s doing double duty in her comedy cabaret show Whining in the Windy City which promises to skewer everything that is merry for the holidays with biting, fearless stand up comedy and original songs. Jackie s going to spill the beans on working on Broadway and dish the dirt on her comedy peers from Chicago like Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, and the Sedaris siblings who, as she says, are now more famous than she is. She s hilarious and hateful, and she s in the home studio. Look out! Jackie doesn t hold back her true feelings about the new Addams Family musical, her funniest moment on stage ever and why the holidays and children are so annoying to her. Don t miss Whining in the Windy City at the Royal George Cabaret, 1641 N. Halsted, Monday evenings, November 30 – December 21, at 7:30 p.m. In the news: Robert Pattison goes on David Letterman and talks about how everyone wants him to take a bite out of them, even a 250 pound Mexican man. Sarah Palin tells Oprah You re not the center of the world. and a father in Minnesota teaches his song Klingon by only speaking to him in the artificial language for the first three years of his life. Believe it or not, the father says he isn t really a huge Star Trek. Visit out our sponsors: Steamworks Gym, Sauna and Baths.

The Balloon Project's Luca and Ira send a video camera up into the sky hanging from helium balloons in a rain storm as we chase it from below on bikes and into history. The Story: It was a rainy afternoon in Berlin and our last chance to do The Berlin Balloon Project since Luca (one of the co-founders of The Balloon Project) was leaving the next day. We strapped more than 30 helium balloons to a video camera and sent it up all by itself over the city some few hundred meters. We then proceeded to chase it down with bikes as the rain slowly brought it back to earth. Watch "The Chase" to see how it looked from the ground. http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=ND06VRnuelY or see how we got the camera back: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=81TPfSpKXrA *If you look carefully you can see that our "Message in a Balloon" traveled from East Berlin, over the historic Berlin Wall (at 4:00 minutes (bernauer str), and into freedom in West Berlin. *Shortly after at 6:50 the camera flies over the Hamburger Bahnhof, Museum für Gegenwart.
