4 FOR THE WEEKEND
where the Bears play in FIELDS of dreams.
So let’s get to it, starting with…..
Get On That Hog
No, we’re not talking the State Fair.
No, we’re not talking strange barnyard rituals.
We’re talking hogs, ya know?
H. L. Mencken once said that “Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
We kinda feel that way about motorcycles.
If you do, too, now’s your chance. Head out to Pingree Grove Friday or Saturday and check out the IMS Outdoors show at Goebbert’s Farm.
And make sure you pack your black flag…

Tiny Tim, Your Time Has Come
Yes. It’s a Uke festival.
(“Uke” is the hip term for “Ukulele. You Philistines.)
Now listen, we know. We know that the idea seems a little odd. We mean, it’s a ukulele for cripes sake! (Sorry, “Uke.”)
But we, like you, would be wrong to think so.
Apparently, the uke is enjoying a broad resurgence in popularity. Gone are the days of the legendary Don Ho and his cheesy Hawaiian schtick. (Although with a name like that, he’d have made a helleva rapper.)
No, the Uke is “in,” so why not check it out in downtown Aurora this Sunday?
Aloha.

Don’t You Sometimes Feel We’re In A Time Warp?
Seriously.
We know that styles tend to go in cycles (which is why we never throw clothes away…we assume they’ll be back in style in a decade or so).
The same holds true for music.
We mean, in our misspent youth (80s and 90s), Sinatra made a huge comeback. At least amongst the cool, of which we were part, of course.)
But nostalgia for the 90s is bursting out all over the place it seems.
And this weekend at the PIAZZA is no exception.
Behold Soul Asylum, one of the hottest bands of that era. One night only. Knock yourselves out.

And Finally…
Awesome classic cars in lovely Geneva on a late summer Sunday.
It’s really doesn’t get much better than that.
And the Tucker.
There’s a great movie about the creation of the Tucker that you really must see – see it before going to the show. It’s called, cleverly enough, “Tucker: The Man and His Dream,” and it stars Jeff Bridges as the car’s creator and namesake, Preston Tucker. It may be tough to find, but search for it.
It’ll really get you in the mood. For cars, that is.

Your weekly weekend weather advisory is looking pretty darned good this weekend. High temperatures in the 80s, and, at least only scattered showers and t-storms on Saturday. (We know, we know.) Plan accordingly.
If, for whatever reason, none of our fabulous four events doesn’t pop your cork, we’ll be very insulted. However, all hope is not lost. Simply go to www.foxvalleymagazine.com and check out our A+E and Events sections for other ideas.
Finally, please do us a favor. We would be eternally grateful if you could share this with some of your unsuspecting family, friends and neighbors. We’d also appreciate some love on our Facebook page (see below). Ok, technically it’s a “LIKE,” but don’t be pedantic. Also, that’s actually two favors. We’ll owe you.
Thanks for reading. Until next time…OH! One more thing. If you’re reading this via the website and would like to have this emailed to you bright and early every Friday morning, please SUBSCRIBE!
