I'm new here - on Livejournal and to this community. Wondering if there are other teens in this community (or any communities for Chicago teens) interested in goth and horror. If so, I'd love to hear from you! (Comment on this) |

I would like to draw your attention to something that I started several months ago. It would take long to type in the whole concept here, but it is centered around culture, genuinely interesting people and events that are not boring. http://www.lovepartychicago.com (will play music)Also if you have a very interesting bio or hobby, you might qualify to be a special guest in one of the events, so please talk to me.

Old Gang Graffiti and other strange inquiries If this isn't allowed, go ahead & delete it, but I was curious... ... is there a warlords' landmark still left on the ghettos somewhere in the chicago area? I assume that they're an old gang that lurked there ages back and have probably been taken over by the bloods & crips and other modern gangs. I saw this particular landmark in a Marvin Gaye video, "what's goin' on?" Furthermore, are there landmarks from other old, nostalgic gangs leftover from ages ago in 1970s. It reminds me so much of the movie, 'the warriors,' that I can't help but think of it as classic. (Comment on this) |

| _4:45 pm_[fntm] | Hey guys! I'm from the burbs (Highland Park, to be exact) and never really had a chance to hang out downtown. My Canadian boyfriend is coming to spend winter break with me, and I'd love to take him into the city and show him around. Thing is, I don't know where to take him aside from all the touristy places! Would any of you be able to suggest some awesome places for a geeky couple to hang out? Restaurants, galleries, shops--anything, just throw some suggestions at me!This might help: I visited San Francisco a few years back, and found a store that I absolutely fell in love with called Super 7. I'm hoping Chicago has its own version. Anyone seen anything like it? Let me know! (14 Comments |Comment on this) |

We live in such a big city... Hey guys.I'm a college student in the south-loop, looking for sweet places to visit all over Chicago. Preferably hole-in-the-wall type joints... quirky places with a lot of character. Restaraunts, bookstores, hang out spots... if you guys could leave some of your favorite places, that would be an immense help. L stops and bus routes would be helpful too!Thanks!

Support Darfur refugees in Chicago Hi everyone, I work for the American Refugee Committee in Chicago, and this year we're holding a fundraising luncheon in support of the refugee camps we run in Darfur and other places around the world. Speakers will include ARC's country director from Sudan and John Prendergast, a Senior Adviser on Africa at the International Crisis Group in DC. Barack Obama is an honorary co-sponsor and may show up as well. The luncheon is being held November 3rd at the Hilton Chicago, and tickets are $150 each (with at least 90% of that going directly to refugee support). If you're interested in learning more about what's going on in Darfur and supporting refugee camps there, please email me and I'll get you an invitation. Thanks for your support!

My boyfriend and I are on the hunt for more restaurants in the Chicago area, preferably those that are at least little more upscale and expensive than the normal places we indulge ourselves in. Any recommendations? The word I would use to desrcribe the kinds of places we're looking for is "romantic," interpret that how you will.Thanks for all of your help! (Comment on this) |
