A relaxing weekend of movies across Chicago
Happy Black Friday! I have two very exciting activities planned for today: elbowing old ladies at Woodfield Mall for Black Friday shopping and attending my 10th high school reunion.

$5 double feature with a side of booze
There’s no better way to spend a hot as hell afternoon or evening then in a nice, air conditioned movie theater. Especially when it’s cheap and there’s booze. The Brew & View is the alter ego of The Vic, showing movies on the days and evenings the venue doesn’t have a concert. The Brew &... Read more »

Celebrate the art of the striptease

Celebrate the art of the striptease
We have a good variety of activities happening around the city, and since we’re all used to 105 degree weather, 90 degrees won’t feel so bad.

Start planning for Movies in the Park

Start planning for Movies in the Park
It’s officially summer in the city; the Chicago Park District just released the 2012 movies in the park schedule. I’m so psyched.

Check out the biggest full moon of the year
There is a plethora of Cinco de Mayo and Kentucky Derby themed events planned for this weekend, but as I read about them they all run together. Something with booze. Something that involves running.
