Please stand for the seventh-inning weekend.
FROM PERKS
This is a waterproof camera that’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and records at HD resolution. What you’ll do with it is water-ski, snowboard, sit in hot tubs and other things you want to watch yourself do again in HD.
METRIC SYSTEM
For too long, Metric Coffee was relegated to the margins of menus at various fine-dining establishments across the city. But now, they’ve got their very own café in Fulton Market, where you can find their signature brews, plus cold-pressed juices and local pastries. Justice is served.
TECH, PLEASE
Not long ago, the tech-forward clothiers of Ministry opened a shop on Michigan Avenue with temperature-controlled shirts, seamless jackets and other fall-ish things. And tomorrow, one of their founders is hosting a launch party there with gratis beer and passed bites. So we guess it’s a banner month for those things.
KEEP ON TRUCKIN’
Here’s who and what will be congregating on Humboldt Boulevard in Logan Square this weekend:
—Over 15 food trucks, including Boo Coo Roux and Tamale Spaceship.
—A bunch of musicians.
—Big-deal chefs making you bacon things.
—Anyone reading this who enjoys that stuff.
THE HORROR
The Music Box’s 24-hour movie marathon returns this Saturday. At noon, you could watch a weird silent movie with a live score. At 10:45pm, you could watch the not-yet-released Another Evil. At 2:30am, you could watch Halloween III on 16mm. Maybe go home after that.
MARY-GO-ROUND
What’s new at this year’s Bloody Mary Fest: A marketplace for procuring/sampling
brunch-related items and accoutrements, as well as a lounge for you to enjoy Stan’s Donuts and watch the
Bears game.
What’s not: A competition of extravagant Bloodys, the judge of which is you. Glad they
kept that.
