So, there’s this new singer/songwriter named Taylor Swift– maybe you’ve heard of her? She just so happens to be performing two sold-out Chicago concerts on July 18th & 19th at Soldier Field (good for her- not so shabby for an up-and-comer!)…and you could definitely win one of two pairs of tickets. The good folks at Savers in Downers Grove (2900 Highland Ave.) are holding a big ol’ giveaway on July 17th. All you have to do is show up and between 1 and 3 p.m., enter your name at the B96 table, and wait around to see if your name is announced at 3 p.m. That’s right: two pairs of tickets, one winner per pair, hanging out at one of my favorite places to shop, and potentially seeing Taylor Swift’s 1989 tour. Win/win/win/win.
And here’s some more good stuff: four free passes to the Museum of Science & Industry and their ridiculously fun Robot Revolution Exhibit! Seriously. P.J. and I got to take the girls on the exhibit’s opening night and it was the most fun we- er- the girls had ever had. Suzy and I drove things into other things. Nora tried her hand at basic programming. She followed that up by making excellent friends with a facial recognition droid. Susannah decided she wanted a mini drone for around the house. P.J. built a robot that lit up and did something or other that made him really, really excited. So yeah, there’s lots to do for the whole family. And if you go the weekend of July 18th and 19th (big day couple of days for Chicago!), you’ll get to take part in the Robot Block Party! There will be musical performances. A robot dance party. Antenna-making stations. And a robotic snake.
(And if you can’t make it for that stellar weekend, no worries. These tickets can be redeemed for quite a bit. The exhibit is temporary, though, so don’t dilly-dally. Because I’m one hundred years old.)
Guys, we go the MSI multiple times a year because it’s one of the best things to do in this city. YES, I SAID IT. In a city of a bazillion and seven incredible things to do at any given time, this is one of the best things to do here. So go do it for free, with three of your pals. (Enter below!)
