You Are Beautiful

You Are Beautiful is an art theme/project/installation/message that simply rocks. You can help spread the word by sending a SAE and get some stickers in return. Inspiring stuff.

Elvis 5k

Elvis season, the entire month of August, is one of my favorite times of year. Shame then that I won't be able to participate in the Elvis Is Alive 5k at Diversey Harbor this Saturday. Race is late in the evening, they have a beer tent, and a prize for the race participant who has the best Elvis look. And a kids Elvis impersonator contest too! Wouldn't Junior look great in a jumpsuit?

You want a list of Chicagoland's mini-golf courses? (Say yes) You got it!

Gnats

A possible unexpected side-effect of our mild summer: giant swarms of gnats.

Gothic Chicago

If you're all about the American Gothic in the Goth sense, then you should take a look at the well-done site, GothicChicago.com. The site is a portal for the Goth community for Chicago featuring events listings, photos, Goth-friendly clubs and more. You can buy some nifty gear at their sister site, SpookyInc and if you're bored of all those bland Hallmark e-cards, send your loved ones a GothCard instead.
