Maybe http://www.grandstage.com?  It's a theater supply company, I used to 
rent/do last minute buys from there when I was in college.

Professional quality gaffe tape is several dollars per roll, but it's great  
stuff - think duck tape on awesome.  They would probably have 30 rolls.

Perhaps someone who works in the loop could stop by?  It's at Lake & 
Desplaines, 1 blk east of the Kennedy.

There's also http://chicagospotlight.com/ but I have less experience with 
them.  Also near loop.

Takers should probably call the places first.
