They held it at Millennium Park right in front of the Bean where the ice skating rink usually is.
Brett McKenzieHOST
like when you're an events coordinator, when you're doing logistical work for a trade show, for a conference, for anything, picking an outdoor experience is a gamble.
Brett McKenzieHOST
But as a Chicagoan, I feel like Millennium Park, you know, really is in the heart of Chicago.
Brett McKenzieHOST
You're surrounded by like the Aeon Tower and all of these major insurance players were right in the middle of it.

Nixie NockGUEST
Um, sometimes I will meet other people at conventions and I, if I feel comfortable, you know, I will do a short tasting or a scene.
Nixie NockGUEST
I don't tend to use, uh, convention attendees as my personal um pool of meat but every once in a while like if i really like find a find another attendee or a person who's working there a volunteer and i and i usually will never do like a sexual scene with them it'll usually be like a quick rope scene or quick impact scene with clothes on that um that i get to do that part and that's also super fun When I went to Chicago for Kinky College, I took a day away to go and see The Bean and go to Millennium Park.
Nixie NockGUEST
And then when I was in New York for Test Fest, we spent the day in Manhattan.
Nixie NockGUEST
It was 113 degrees.
Jaime BlackHOST
um the loop is so underrated
Lucas LoprestiGUEST
and i think maybe covid has a little bit to do with that sure um but where we are is so central it's the loop of chicago so you're literally downtown uh like you mentioned we can walk to millennium park or grant park for lollapalooza or if we want to walk equal distance but walk north instead of east we're at the beautiful riverwalk where there's restaurants and bars and just live entertainment.
Lucas LoprestiGUEST
It's a gorgeous area.
Lucas LoprestiGUEST
Gorgeous.
Mark DavyGUEST
It was a kind of ragtag mix of strange infrastructure elements from the last hundred years.
Mark DavyGUEST
And we kind of said to them, look, rather than fight it, why don't we embrace it and make everything sculptural? Why don't we imagine we're like the Millennium Park in Chicago, a big sculptural park? And the buildings just happened to be more sculptural elements.
Mark DavyGUEST
So they went for it.
Mark DavyGUEST
And we ended up, you know, there's the elevated running track, which was our idea to get 100,000 plus people to come down and run that track when it's finished.
Jason FallsHOST

So in Chicago... on the 19th from 9 a.m to 2 p.m um though everyone will gather in millennium park and then there's like there's actually some live entertainment though it's kind of a surprise you'll get a venture pass to then go out to the neighborhood to explore with your free neighborhood walking tour and there's 15 locations that is a lot so

Ernest WongGUEST
I'll give you an example.
Ernest WongGUEST
I was very skeptical about Millennium Park.
Jill RiddellHOST
Millennium Park is a park in downtown Chicago that was built probably was like 15 years ago now.
Jill RiddellHOST
And for people that aren't from the United States, it's famous for, if you ever heard of the Bean in Chicago, that's where the Bean is, is in Millennium Park, right downtown.
Ernest WongGUEST
So that's my story is the Bean.
Ernest WongGUEST
I was skeptical because I thought it was just going to be very Disney-esque, that I was going to just get these features throughout the park that people are going to, you know, tourists would come and they'd see them and they'd be like, hey, you know.
Ernest WongGUEST
Landfill.
Ernest WongGUEST
The Department of Environment, Chicago Park District, and Department of Planning realized that There was an opportunity here to create something really, really special.
Kristen ReynoldsGUEST
You have to get the obligatory reflection picture in the Bean.
Kristen ReynoldsGUEST
And then the, what I love about the Millennium Park area where the bean is, and which kind of flows into Grant Park, is again, you've got the waterfront, you've got Buckingham Fountain.
Kristen ReynoldsGUEST
To go through there, I think one of the surprising things about Chicago is the public space and the open park area.
Kristen ReynoldsGUEST
It is so beautiful all year round, 'cause in the winter, by the way, it turns into the ribbon ice skating rink.
