Summer's Slipping Away...

In nine short days (we say this with a heavy heart), summer will be officially over. Therefore, we advise that you fit in as much activity as possible before Chicago fall swoops in and makes us want to curl up inside with a good book or some NCAA and NFL football. From Oktoberfest (yes, in September) to yet another music festival (punk this time), Chicago pulls through once more with a weekend packed full of memorable events. Enjoy!
