Weekend, Here I Come!
My newfound busy-ness continues and apparently pays off in spades. Unofficial as for now, but I’ve been crowned a Yelp Elite Squad member. In that same vein, this Saturday is the Red Bull Flugtag. I’m planning on bringing my camera for that event so I can re-live that schadenfreude over and over again. Other cool happenings in Chicago include 2 events at the Pritzker Pavillion tonight and tomorrow. First Andrew Bird which is gearing up to be a full house, and then tomorrow is Chicago Public Radio’s annual live taping of Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me!
I saw Wait Wait last year, and have a lot of anticipation for that event tomorrow. And the greatest part of all this? Every last one of these events are FREE. Free as in beer. F-R-E-E free. If I’m not careful, I’m going to end up being the freegan savant when it comes to city events.
That’s not always a bad thing as it seems like my plans are extending more and more into the future. And being the lunatic with illusions of granduer that I still am, it’s good to save as much money as possible. OOOOOH OOOOH! I just remembered I have an old polka record that will work quite nicely to accompany some flugtag montage.
