Villa Toscana Guest House in Chicago, Illinois | B&B Rental. Storytelling in Chicago. May 31, 2013|By Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz (Chris Sweda, Chicago Tribune) As opening night glitches go, this was a good problem. The back room at Lakeview gastropub The Dog's Bollox was jammed with people squeezing in for the debut of Story Sessions, yet another yarn-spinning event to add to Chicago's already-packed storytelling/live literature calendar, and the organizers, regretfully, were turning people away. This piece first ran in Printers Row Journal, delivered to Printers Row members with the Sunday Chicago Tribune and by digital edition via email. Click here to learn about joining Printers Row. What an unfortunate fate, to miss Tom Wolferman describe, heartbreakingly and hilariously, giving a bath to his Alzheimer's-stricken mother, and to not hear Barrie Cole explain, gut-splittingly, the ways in which a one-night stand is nothing like a nightstand.

But if anything is certain of the city's consistently crammed live lit events, it's that you can probably catch another one tomorrow.

Venue Cricket - Rent Chicago Event Venues. 3 reasons to expect chaos at the 2012 G8 Summit | Unelected.org. Chicago, Illinois will host this year’s Group of Eight summit between May 19-20th with several key factors and factions in the background. Violence and minor riots have broken out outside of the annual G8 summit since the group was formed in 1997.

In Italy in 2001, a large mob formed and proceeded to destroying shop windows, burning vehicles, and causing massive amounts of damage. Considering the ongoing demonstrations around the United States and the expected demonstrations in the spring, it wouldn’t be out of the question to state that the G8 summit will be the perfect stage for various dissident groups. There are three reasons in particular as to why it makes sense to entertain the possibility of more turmoil than usual at this year’s G8 summit. Just yesterday night, over 300 protesters were arrested at Occupy Oakland after an estimated crowd of over 2000 marched throughout the downtown area of the city injuring cops, destroying fencing, and in one instance burning a flag.

If you have any longstanding medical problem or symptoms which have not been diagnosed or treated to your satisfaction. If you are on medications for any condition which worry you about side effects and you want to know if alternative therapies are available. If you have a medical condition that is being treated to your satisfaction elsewhere, but are curious if alternative therapies might be effective.

A talk about the ‘mechanics’ of your specific condition. SHoP (Southside Hub of Production) opens in Hyde Park - Art & Design - Time Out Chicago.

Photograph: Lizzy Szwaya [node:14966055 noterms imagecache=field_image:timeout_250x220:image:0; cck=field_caption; cck=field_credits;] Artists Laura Shaeffer and John Preus were considering a radical idea when they heard that Hyde Park’s First Unitarian Church of Chicago sought a new tenant for Fenn House, the 1890s mansion it owns at 5638 South Woodlawn Avenue.

What if Chicago had “a space where everyone could have a cultural experience,” as Shaeffer describes it—a place where adults could “spend time creatively” and socialize with their kids, instead of involving playdates and baby-sitters? I saw SHoP’s (Southside Hub of Production) intergenerational, multidisciplinary philosophy in action a week before the cultural center was set to open on October 1.
