Sup ya'll. Man, Chicago sure likes to run on a feast or famine schedule, even during gallery "summer vacation." If you've never heard of the gallery "summer vacation," it was described to me by a New York gallerist art Art Chicago as 'the time everyone when everyone who buys art is gone to the Hamptons.' Well I was worried, but this week, my pretties, is at FEAST. There is literally too much good stuff for me to give it all shout-outs right here. If this could be every Friday, I'd be happy. List toppers: Catherine Edelman (go see your Chi-town photographers, including our own Shannon Benine, for those of you at the 'Tute), Dog vs. Cat extravaganza at Swimming Pool (with drunk artists and dog fashion, how could you go wrong), weird-ass tiny embroderies at the Compound in Pilsen, West Loop awesomeness with Packer Schopf, Spoke, 'n ThreeWalls...and that's only Friday. Saturday and Sunday have even more. Go fourth, schmooze, drink, rub shoulder, rub noses, go see some damn art!

All right ya'll...the word of the week is lean, as in lean meat, Lean Cuisine, sparse, barren, etc. WTF? Are we really giving 4th of July weekend over to Taste(lessness) of Chicago and a bunch of half assed explosions at Navy Pier? I would think not,but looking at the line up, it is sadly looking like it. I hope ya'll know that if you want stuff listed here you have to let me know about it, by either sending me the info, or posting it somewhere on line. I've notices a marked decline on in event/opening listings on many of the online data bases I check for info. If you build it, the won't come! I ain't the ghost of Shoeless Joe, damn it. You must tell them if you want them to come. Ok, that's enough of my whining. Ya want to know where to go? No? Ok, move onto the list. Yes? Read on...CO-PRO! There are a million people showing at the SALAD-CHURCH-EXERCISE event. Be there (to eat salad) or be square. And for your Sunday church skipping, I'd head for Julius Caesar or Ben Russell. Just a thought. Go fourth and prosper, my art hungry friends!
