4 FOR THE WEEKEND
where Justine Fields won’t get sacked, we promise.
So let’s get to it, starting with…..
Appropriate Attire Required
Alright you slobs, times to dress like a grown-up for a change.
OK, maybe that’s a little harsh.
But truth be told, during the summer and early fall – not to mention a year of isolation – we’ve gotten used to dressing, shall we say, comfortably. Which, in this context, means just shy of a Depression-era hobo riding the rails.
So this weekend, let’s put our big-boy and big-girl pants on (literally) and go listen to an absolute jewel of the Fox Valley, the Elgin Symphony Orchestra.

Headbangers Unite!
We admit, we’re not headbangers.
First of all, it’s very hard on the neck.
But beyond that, our musical tastes were formed when the primary objective of all art was to attract women.
And we couldn’t figure out a way to attract women while headbanging.
Consider it a lack of imagination on our part.
However, for you headbanging aficionados out there, a combination of veterans from Dio, Def Leppard and Black Sabbath is playing (as “Last In Line”) at the Arcada on Saturday.
So knock yourselves out. (Not literally.)

For Different Musical Tastes…
…we recommend The Venue in Aurora this weekend.
Leading off on Friday is a reconstructed Fox Valley garage band called GNP (not to be confused with Gross National Product, which is an outdated economics term – but then you knew that, right? Right?).
Then it’s a tribute to the early days of rock with the Neverly Brothers.
And finally, a really great blues guitarist in Coco Montoya.
No headbanging allowed.

And Finally…Yes, Farmer’s Markets
Ok, we promise you men out there that this is the last mention of farmers markets until spring.
But, in the words of our illustrious President (or, more illustrious, Chris Carter, formerly of the Minnesota Vikings and ESPN), c’mon man!
It’s fall. The leaves are turning, the air is chill, the pumpkin spice is….well, ’nuff said on that.
The point is that the farmers market season is winding down, and this is the perfect time of year to partake.
And, for those unattached men out there, it’s a great way to attract women. Way better than headbanging. (See above.)

Your weekly weekend weather looks magnificent, with the exception of a chance of some rain Friday evening. Fall weather. Highs in the 70s, lows in the 40s. Yeah, baby. But this time of year, anything can happen. 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!
