You’re Judging a Bloody Mary Festival This Weekend

You’re Judging a Bloody Mary Festival This Weekend
After Watching Scary Movies and Eating a Bunch of Bacon, Of Course

Please stand for the seventh-inning weekend.

Wednesday

FROM PERKS

            A Teeny, Tiny, Wearable, Waterproof Camera

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

            Metric Coffee Gets a Café of Its Own

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.

Thursday

TECH, PLEASE

            A Fine Evening of Gratis Beer and Closet-Filling

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.

Saturday

KEEP ON TRUCKIN’

            A Food Truck Social with a Thing for Bacon

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

            Approximately 20 More Hours of Horror Films Than Are Necessary

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.

Sunday

MARY-GO-ROUND

            This Bloody Mary Fest Named Itself Correctly

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.

Sam Eichner likes literature, reality television and his twin cats equally. He has consistently been told he needs a shave since he started growing facial hair.
