Things for the doing, my lovely lovelies, as per my suggestions at least: Friday, Bridgeport! Normal Projects is rocking. I know Bridgeport is kind of a pain in the ass to get too, but you should go anyway, they's good peeps down there. On your way through, you can stop in Pilsen, if ya like. They're doing their Friday thing. If you're wanting to stay up north, Roots and Culture on Milwaukee and Spoke 'n Flatfile in the West Loop are where I'd head. Saturday's got Green Lantern, Mini Dutch, Green Bicycle Organization, and Scott Projects for optimal fun-ness, among many other things. As for Sunday, there's only three things, so why not go to all (or perhaps just one of you choosing). That's what I have to say for this round. Over and out.
