This Sunday (4/20/08, 1pm) in Chicago in Chinatown Square there will be a blessing ceremony for the Chicago bid for the 2016 Olympics and a blessing for the 2008 Olympics. There will also be shaolin performances by monks and students of the Chicago Shaolin Temple, and I believe monks are flying in from NY, SF, and LA to perform. Shi Yan Ju (head of the Chicago Shaolin Temple) is responsible for the event.
You can watch it over the internet if you cannot make it. I believe it will be here:
