Summer in Chicago
This journal is an attempt on getting Naseebers together in the beautiful Summer in Chicago. As those of us who've spent a summer in Chicago know and those of us who are new may not have experienced, people come out, tan their pasty milky skin and the entire city comes ALIVE for about 3 months! The city reocgnizing this phenomenon - actually schedules many events for their residents, moreso than most cities. Last weekend, I went to Blues fest with a bunch of friends and it was awesome, I urge long time residents and new comers to this awesome city to really take advantage of these unique and FREE festivals and events! So get your friends together or meet some naseebers and explore Chicago together. I'll do my part by informing you about them and let you know that many of us and CAMP are planning outings for some of these events. I'll keep updating this journal as people bring up more events
