Tomorrow is it!  Please give yourself enough time to get to the fountain, as Lollapalooza fences are going up.  We will leave at 10am, and updates will be posted.

Tonight's homework:  chewing and swallowing.

So looking forward.  Also see same event on Facebook.

6 days to go, so stop eating until Saturday.

This year's entertainment will include The Windy City Brass, a Polka Contest, Halupki Cook Off, and of course the Songfest with Mr. Pierogi and the Piroguettes. 

For those who want to stick around, Captain Ambivalent and the Accordion of Gold and Milwaukee's own Squeezettes will be performing in the evening.

See you on Saturday!

Oh, yeah, a gazillion great cycling events on the 26th, but, I HAVE TO WORK ! (It's overtime pay, though.)

Once past 79th street, follow the new South Shore Drive/US 41 through the old US Steel Southworks. You'll miss the VeloDrome, but, there is zilch motor traffic. Also, Google for the new Indiana trail through Wolf Lake, just east of the tollway. It's accessible from the Burnham Greenway, and will take you slightly south, but, will keep you OFF of Indianapolis Blvd.

Admission is free, but food, beverages, and the nun-dunk tank, all cost money.

This sounds amazing! Any cost to this?
