4 FOR THE WEEKEND
where the Illini identify as a Final Four team!
So let’s get to it, starting with…..
Let’s Start With The Kids…
Doesn’t the big-ass rodent below scare the bejeebers out of you???)
Sorry.
We thought we’d start with some family-oriented fun this week. Fun, that is, if the big-ass rodent doesn’t…..well, you know.
Windy Acres Farm in Geneva really knows how to do these kinds of things. If you got kiddies, this is a great way to spend the afternoon.

And If Yoouuuu Can Believe It……
(We’ll bet the mortgage that nobody gets the reference in the headline!)
(Behold.)
(He does this every Friday.)
(It’s hilarious.)
(Why all the parentheticals?)
(Who knows? Must be a sale on somewhere.)
(Go to Aurora this evening. It’ll be fun.)

AAAAAAHHHHWWWW!!!
Ok, we were trying to spell out that sound that James Brown made all the time.
Hey, it’s not easy!
Why bring up James Brown?
Because Gerald McClendon (below) has that amazing James Brown look on his face while singing.
And he’s at the Venue in Aurora tonight, so stop by after doing the First Friday thing.
Git’ on up!

And Finally…
If R&B/Soul isn’t your bag, we would suggest you re-assess your life choices.
But while you’re doing that, maybe check out the Elgin Symphony Orchestra this weekend. They’re presenting what is effectively a long song to America with Old American Songs by Aaron Copland and Dvorák’s Symphony No.9, op.95, B.178, E minor from the New World, the latter of which we heard for the first time years ago while living in London. We admit, being on foreign soil and listening to his “New World” was rather stirring. Might have been the hashish, but we’d prefer to think it was sentiment.
(To the FBI and Interpol: The reference to hashish above is purely for comedic purposes. No international drug laws have been broken in the making of this enewsletter.)

Welp, looks like another typical spring weekend here in the Fox Valley. And when we say typical, we mean “GET OUT AS FAST AS YOU CAN.” OK, Friday and Sunday don’t look too bad. Just a bit chilly for our tastes, with highs of 44 and 52, respectively. Saturday, on the other hand, will be a combo of rain and snow all day, with a high of 41. Brutal. As ever, 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!
