Are you free Saturday and looking for something to do? Well I can’t tell you how torn I am between these two events I might just have to find time for both!
New Belgium Brewing Co. Bike Festival & Freak Show | 10-4PM
The makers of Fat Tire Beer are throwing a party out in Palmer’s Sqaure (Palmer Blvd. at Kedzie Blvd.) were festival-goers dress up in sweet costumes and decorate their bikes for the opening parade. West Town Bikes website describes the event on their site:
“While partying might be one theme of the bike fest, at its heart it celebrates the bicycle, informs how to reduce our waste stream, encourages people to ride bikes to work and for errands, and raises money for West Town Bikes.”
If you end up stopping by the event and have a camera take some photos and send them are way because we’d love to post them on the website! I and Jim both live right around the bend from this event so if you see us there stop and say hello!
ARE YOU READY TO GET YOUR SHAMBLE ON? | 2 - 6PM
There is a gathering of zombies in roves downtown in the loop! Do you like brains? This is quite possibly one of the coolest things I’ve seen take place since I’ve lived in Chicago. Yet another reason why I am torn between the two! The organizers over at ChicagoZombie.com ask you to:
“Dress-up and make-up as your favorite undead and come to Chicago’s first-ever zombie walk! These things have happened all over the U.S. and Canada, but never in our lovely city. We look to change that…”
They ask that you RSVP with them on their Facebook event page but I don’t think that would ever discourage anyone to just show up with their friends. Please again if you go and happen to take some snapshots between victims share them with us! Send us a few so that we can post the images on the site! Or if you find that brains are not your delicatessen and between shambling stop at a local food source snap a few photos and upload them to the places Indylist page!
I hope everyone enjoys their weekend either way and I hope to see you guys either riding a decorative bike or shuffling around the loop undead!
