So, it's finally getting warm again. When I first moved here I couldn't understand why people raved about the summer in Chicago. To me it just felt (and still feels) like the inside of a dog's mouth. But after a winter here, I'll rave for the dog mouth weather along with the rest of the choir. Now, the best thing about this development for all us crawlers is that we no longer have to pack around our abominable snow man coats through the galleries. No more sweaty arms or almost knocking over sculptures. Hooray! To celebrate this development, it is time for adventures. There are many to be had this weekend. If you're going out on Friday night, drop by Barbara&Barbara Gallery up in Humboldt park. As for the rest of the weekend, I'm plugging Version09 (and by extension myself). Version started today, and goes through the next week. Saturday and Sunday, ya'll should come down to the Benton House 'n see the NFO XPO, the Free University, the Shelter Corps, and That's What She Said, a show Jeriah curated. If you don't want to go to Bridgeport this weekend (lame!) you can at least for on some gallery tours on Saturday, through River North and the West Loop. As for Sunday, The Renaissance Society in Hyde Park is rocking, that's where I'd go, eh! Mmmm...Strange Brew. Well, see ya'll out there.

Friday: if you're down south, APRIL Gallery is rocking work from the VCS crew; Spoke and Tony Wight are rocking out in the West Loop; and BEST OF ALL, there's an art raffle/auction at Country Club to benefit Version 09. If you don't know about Version 09, check it out here. That's where I'll be, you should too! Saturday: if you're in the Bridgeport neighborhood, stop into Normal Projects, support the good apartment spaces of this city; if you're on the north side instead, head for Linda Warren in the afternoon, and Roots and Culture at night. As for Sunday, being the day of rest an' all, why not spend it at The Family Room with The Post Family.
