With Coachella’s Lineup being announced, I’m getting excited for Chicago’s own Lollapalooza and the summertime. In the meantime, Chicago has some fun events till the sun start heating up!

The Galleries at Center on Halsted will present artist Emily Rutledge in a show entitled “Urban Narratives” in its third floor gallery and artists Steve Becker and Albert Ellenich in a show titled “Speed of Light” in its second floor gallery space.

Chicago has gotten our first snow fall and personally I love it! I’m basically a Christmas baby (20th!), so I love the snow. Snow ball fights, forts, angels, wrestling, sledding, broom ball and sex. OK! I did all except the last one but maybe one day! Even if you hate snow, there are tons of things to do in Chicago to keep you warm and dry!

There are tons of fun Chicago events this weekend to get you in a great December mood!

The first holiday of the fall is upon us: Thanksgiving. Everyone seems to have mixed feelings about Turkey day. Some friends of mine are excited to travel home to visit family. Others have already made plans to drink away the pain before and after Thanksgiving. Whatever your plans, Chicago has some events to make sure you don’t sleep you weekend away from all that Turkey!

Chicago is a great city to get you in the mood for the festive season. So here are some festive events as well as other random events to get you in a merry mood.

Some people are more superstitious than others but I’ve never been one to fall into the psychological trap that is “Friday the 13th”. In fact, I’ve always had a fun if not calm Friday the 13th! Don’t trap your house in your house in fear of  a horrible day. Here are some great events that will keep your weekend lucky!
