Saturday Slumgullion


It would be great if unseasonably warm November days were also unseasonably light, with the sunset coming somewhere around 8:30 p.m. I recently posted this observation on Facebook, where it drew an unusually large amount of responses for one of my posts. Which is to say, ten.

The point though, is that we should really take advantage of the great weather we're having today in the Chicago area and do some fun things outside. Like going to dinner or seeing some live music on the patio or beer garden area of your favorite venue. Particularly when we can’t do those things inside at the moment, and we won't be able to do them outside as winter approaches. 

Hey Nonny in Arlington Heights has one more outdoor live show tonight before a self-imposed hibernation through March 10, 2021. Its Last Call event features live music by Paulo Apuli and runs from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. The venue has done a great job of bringing a north side Chicago vibe to the northwest suburbs, and I’m looking forward to them booking some great entertainment when they return.


Black Harvest Film Festival is going virtual this year, with all the films streaming at via the Gene Siskel Film Center. The Festival kicked off yesterday and will run through the end of this month. 


AJ Rosales has just released a catchy and thought-provoking song titled “If Not Today” on his Bandcamp page. It’s the first single from his upcoming album Manifestations, which will be the fifth effort overall from the Chicago-based singer-guitarist. “If Not Today” should connect with fans of Sunshine Boys, with its easy-going, acoustic guitar based arrangement and socially conscious lyrics. Manifestations is due on November 27.
