8.8.08 Celebration in Millennium Park

Writer Amy Krouse Rosenthal has already done 17 things pretty much all on her own, but she’s looking to the people of Chicago to help her accomplish the next item on her list. Being that tomorrow is 8.8.08, she invites us to join her at precisely 8:08 p.m. tomorrow night at the Bean in Millennium Park to celebrate all that is great about 8. There’s nothing particularly historic or meaningful about this date and time, it’s just one of life’s little coincidental quirks that's sometimes fun to revel in. We’ve always been a fan of the number 4, so maybe this will be twice the fun. No matter what, it’s got to be more jubilant than 6.6.06.
