Garden Party Time at the Matress Factory

One of the best events my sister and I ever stumbled  upon was the Mattress Factory’s Community Garden Party. Every year the mattress factory holds a fancy smancy fundraiser – which I hear is a great event. Plus the theme for this year’s fundraiser is “Let them Eat Cake” – I really like cake. I also really like that right after the fancy fundraiser they open the place up for a free day of community activities. For starters, the Mattress Factory has an amazing garden, so that is worth going to see. The exhibts are also worth your visit. There… Read the rest

Not only is this a great idea for an art exhibit, but I get to blog about a museum that I have not even been to yet and I get to talk about my favorite audio tape. The Tom Museum is puppet maker Tom Sarver’s museum on the North Side. On Friday April 11, 2008 the Tom Museum opens a new exhibition MIXTAPE which is all about – the mix tape. Which is just a totally great idea. Mix tapes are such an interesting look at musical tastes and points in time. In the movie High Fidelity – John Cusack’s… Read the rest
