Meetup alert!
I think it’s almost time for another meet-up! My thoughts: Somewhere outside June 13th (if this doesn’t work for you, suggest another date that will) What do you think? Any ideas for location?

Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act →
Sen. Bill Haine (D-Alton) said Sunday that he wants a floor vote on his medical marijuana bill today. The bill has come under intense fire from the usual suspects, including law enforcement officials. But supporters say that Haine is very close to the 30 votes he needs for passage.

I need your help.
Artists, musicians, actors, singers, filmmakers, crafty people! If you live in the Chicago area or know someone who would be interested in volunteering @ the Boys & Girls Club of Chicago (my work)  this summer, let me know. The kids are ages 6-11. They work well with outsiders and it would be really rewarding. You could come once, or once a week? Anything helps! If you have any ideas,...

Beer + Liquor = Bierbrand →
Can’t get enough beer? Do you find that it just doesn’t work fast enough? The product for you is Bierbrand… distilled beer with 40% alcohol! Made in Chicago at Koval Distillery, this product is either genius or tragedy… Koval makes a variety of liquors, and The Reader calls them the only craft microdistillery in town.
