Fall Culture Travel :: Alice In Chicago

October 8, 2007 at 10:00 AM | 0 Comments

Cold, rainy fall days make for the best museum visits. So over the next few weeks we're mapping the latest shows worth seeing--and a nearby spot to nurse your art hangover.

Linda Warren Gallery in downtown Chicago's West Fulton Market opened its Fall 2007 art season with the work of Heather Marshall. The exhibition, called "Olio Tableaux," is her first time presenting solo. Her small, rich paintings demand a careful and close eye, and the longer you look the more you seem to see. In a separate gallery space, Kathy Ruttenberg's ceramics, with their creepy Alice in Wonderland feel, are on view. The dual exhibitions are the perfect preface for dinner at Sunday Dinner Chicago.

Go down the rabbit hole and enter the magical hidden garden of the private outdoor restaurant run by three friends who met in culinary school, including a cook at Chicago's trendy NAHA restaurant. The trio runs a monthly supper club, and for $55, you can join the group for dinner.

Summer Music Festivals: Pitchfork '07

July 13, 2007 at 11:35 AM | 0 Comments

We admit it. We like Yoko. She's a feisty broad with an unapologetically terrible voice. Plus, she's got a seriously hot body for a septuagenarian. Saturday, she takes the stage -- not because of John's insistence -- and plans to sing in front of an allegedly willing audience at the Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.

The event kicks off Friday in Union Park and goes until Sunday. Other acts include Iron and Wine, the Sea and Cake, Sonic Youth, and The New Pornographers. About 30 additional performers round out the show. The event's organizer, Pitchfork, is one of those online music magazines that informs semi-hipsters on trends after the cooler hipsters are done with them (we know, it just sounds exhausting).
