Song of the Day: Robyn - Don't Stop The Music
Just an hour of poking around online has gotten me excited about this summer. Right in my area, I have found a nature museum, a conservatory, a zoo, two farmer's markets, a different art fair each weekend (including one that ranks 19th out of 250 national art festivals), and walking tours of Lincoln Park, Goldcoast, and Old Town put on by the Chicago Historical Society. Plus there's Old Town in and of itself, which I haven't been to yet, for reasons unknown to me, and all sorts of different theatrical productions, including Wicked, which I would simply kill to see. I would also kill to see the Chicago Botanic Garden, but despite its name, it is not actually in Chicago, and is impossible to get to without a car. Which I do not have. Sigh.
What this all means is that this summer, I shouldn't have many weekends where I don't have something new and exciting to do. And I have Sex and the City to thank for this. I can hear Shannon repeating what she told me earlier about there being groups to help with my obsession, but I'm quite serious here. I would have been reluctant to go off and do all these things by myself if Carrie hadn't done it herself, saying, "The city is my date."
So there you go. I have a hot date every weekend this summer, and its name is Chicago. Sure, he won't buy me dinner, or open doors for me, but I'm an independent girl and can do that all myself. Although if someone wants to join me, that would be awesome too. Especially if that someone needs a break from working at Cache so she can check out the one-of-a-kind shops in Old Town with me. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Silly Brooke, I don't work at Cache!Lindsay, Saturday, June 4th
hehe... I DO!Shannon, Saturday, June 4th
WTF? I move to a fantastic city with fantastic shopping, only to have all the shopping go to Columbus suddenly. Why didn't they do this when I actually lived there? Totally unfair.Brooke, Saturday, June 4th
That just means you need to make more trips home. ;-)Shannon, Sunday, June 5th
