How to Be Dutch in Chicago



Spoon Concert: free
General Admission to Shedd Aquarium: free with pass from library
Movie at second run theatre: $3 each

and that was our weekend.

WXRT sponsored a free Spoon show at Schubas. I was planning on trying to track down the reps from the station on Wednesday night as they went to various Wicker Park & Bucktown locations to give out tickets, but I managed to win a pair of tix off the Schubas website, so I didn't even have to mess with that.

You've probably heard Spoon on the trailers for "Stranger than Fiction". The first song on this trailer is them... they had 6 songs on the film's soundtrack. They were on Letterman last week too.

The show was super-crowded, but good.

The Chicago Public Library has passes to all the major museums that can be checked out for free admissions. The shedd passes seem elusive, so I grabbed it as soon as I saw it was availible.



Logan Theatre is a second run theatre near here. It's really old-school, but for $3, it's a great deal. We caught "1408" there. I like Stephen King short stories. It was no "Shawshank Redemption", but it was pretty good.
