The DIY Trunk Show is an annual event that brings the best of the Chicago area’s alternative craft community to the people. Brought to you by November 17th\, 2012 10 am to 5 pm Broadway Armory Park 5917 North Broadway Street Chicago\, IL 60660 We believe: Craft is powerful. We want to show the depth and breadth of the Chicago crafting community. Anything you want—clothing\, jewelry\, art\, music—you can probably get from a real live person here in Chicago. And buying handmade\, one-of-a-kind goods from your neighbor kicks the ass of buying mass-produced\, slave-made corporate stuff. Craft is personal. To know that something was made by hand\, by someone who cares that you like it\, makes that object much more enjoyable. And it makes you feel less lonely when you realize that you know the name of the person who made the bar of soap you use\, the earrings you wore when you met that special someone\, or the scarf that kept you from freezing while you waited for the train. Craft is political. We’re not just trying to sell stuff. We’re trying to change the world. We want everyone to rethink corporate culture and consumerism. Craft is possible. Everybody can create something—you don’t have to be an established business to make stuff. The DIY Trunk Show encourages new crafters by giving them a place to sell their work for the first time. We hold workshops to teach people how to make things. And we’re creating friendships and connections between crafters — being a small business owner doesn’t mean you have to work in isolation.

Chicago International Children’s Film Festival: the largest festival for kids film in North America! In 1983\, Facets founded the Chicago International Children’s Film Festival\, the first competitive festival of films for children in the U.S. The impetus for the Festival came from a need to introduce new\, culturally diverse films for children to American children’s audiences\, and to recognize excellence in children’s filmmaking. In addition\, the Festival sought to empower children by involving them directly in the jurying process. From its inception\, the Festival has had independent juries of children and adult media professionals awarding prizes in multiple categories. This year\, we are proud to present a mix of new release and foreign children’s films\, as well as a special presentation by Disney Pixar’s Brian Larsen. Bring your family and have a wonderful time!

Georges Melies\, the father of cinematic special effects\, revolutionized the history of cinema with his creativity and originality. This masterful craftsman deserves credit for conceiving film as an original performance\, recreating newsreels\, advertising films\, extravaganzas in color\, and science fiction. One hundred years later\, his films are still relevant today. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth\, his family presents a series of performances in the true family tradition; this film-concert is designed as homage to this brilliant magician through a narrated performance accompanied by piano. For if the film was silent\, the room was never so! Georges Melies was one of the most amazing figures in cinema. From 1896 to 1913\, he directed\, distributed\, performed\, and produced 520 films. The film-concerts present an exclusive program of films by Georges Melies\, accompanied\, as in the 1900s\, by a pianist and a narrator. The original reels were located\, restored\, preserved\, and edited thanks to the work of the partner association\, The Friends of Georges Melies. This show received the special Prize of the City of Vincennes 2010 during the International Cinema Meetings. Pricing Adult tickets $15 each. Purchase a family pack: 4 for $40. LOCATION:3733 N.

Out of Site is the brainchild of Whitney Tassie (Director of Monique Meloche Gallery) and Carron Little.  They were thinking about how amazing it would be if when people come home from work on a Friday night there would be an orchestra playing in the Polish Triangle or some strange spectacle like Martine Viale from Canada slowly assembling an installation and then becoming a sculptural element. The magic of coming across something unique is what makes Wicker Park/ Bucktown so special. We hope you enjoy!

Some of the subjects covered: Roles of the Lender/Mortgage Broker Credit Pre-Approval Roles of the Real Estate Agent Searching for Properties Contracts Negotiation Closing Here are some questions that were asked at a recent seminar: How much can I afford? Can I get a loan to cover rehab costs? When should I talk to a lender? What are lender fees? What’s the norm? What are points? Is the down payment different from closing costs? Why do people get into ARM's vs. Fixed loans? What can I do to get my credit score higher? Can we still get a home if one of us has great credit and the other has not so great credit? Where do I start in the negotiation process? Does earnest money show the seller how serious the buyer is?

Welcome Muggles and Movie fans to the final movie of the 2012 Outdoor Movie Season! Just as summer winds down and we start to plan for the HUGE haunted house on the movie front lawn\, something wicked this ways comes: Our final feature film of summer will be Harry Potter 3. The lawn space will open a few hours before show time for people to spread out their picnic blankets\, mingle with their friends and neighbors\, and grab a bite to eat.  At approx 6:30pm\, we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. We'll supply brats\, hot dogs\, soda\, water\, and tons of good candy movie. For Harry Potter night\, we'll stock up on some chocolate frogs and Bearnie Bott's Every flavor beans (watch out - don't eat the ear wax ones...) All of the grill food\, soda\, candy\, and\, of course\, an unbelievably large amount of buttered popcorn are on the house! Please note: the grill food usually runs out by 7:30 - so people are encouraged to bring their own spread as well. The events are BYOBlankets and BYOB. Anyone (kids OR adults) who come in a Harry Potter themed costume will get a special prize at the movie night - so get creative and surprise us. Extra points if your dog pretends to be Wizard dressed as an Animagus. At dusk\, we fire up the industrial sized popcorn machine\, the lawn speakers\, and the projector to start the show. Sunset in August is around 8:30 when we'll start the movie. Please note\, there will be an $8 charge for each adult attending this movie. Kids (under 13) are free. (This entrance fee will help us cover the cost of each month's movie license from the studios). There is no separate purchase price for food. We've got a great location in Ravenswood for our outdoor cinema.  Ravenswood Elementary School has allowed us to use their parking lot - so no problems hunting for a space! The movie itself will be on the large lawn space of Bethany Church - 4250 North Paulina Street. If you have a folding chair you'd like to use on the lawn rather than a blanket\, there's room for those as well (though the screen is elevated so you should be able to see either way). Parking is at the Ravenswood Elementary School at 4332 North Paulina. The lawn space of Bethany Church is at 4250 North Paulina. Follow the scent of butter melting on movie popcorn if you can't find us. See you at the movies! Here is a link to the google map: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=4250+N+Paulina+St\,+Chicago\,+IL+60613&aq=0&sll=41.937841\,-87.65445&sspn=0.010694\,0.022724&ie=UTF8&hq=&hn... The fine print: To keep ticket costs low\, we bulk order the food for the grill\, the candy\, the soda\, and popcorn based on the RSVP'ed headcount. Because all of our food purchases (and costs) are based on RSVPs\, there are no refunds if you cancel. There is a rain location in the unfortunate chance of rain. But mother nature hasn't gotten us yet! Come rain or shine - the movie is still on! Location: Our Outdoor Cinema Address: 4250 N.

Washington Update:  Issues to be aware of and action steps to consider today in order to be prepared for the upcoming tax law changes in 2013. As you know\, the Supreme Court recently upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act ‘Obamacare\,’ enforcing a higher tax rate for taxpayers whose income exceeds a set “threshold amount.”  Those above the threshold will be subject to a 3.8% Medicare surtax on net investment income\, effectively raising their marginal income tax rate. An affected taxpayer in the 39.6% bracket—the highest bracket in 2013—will have a 43.4% marginal rate. This will apply to both individuals and trusts/estates.  In addition\, there will be significant additional consequences if Congress allows certain existing tax laws to expire on January 1\, 2013. Now is the time to understand what this means for you and how to plan for the future. Please join us on Thursday August 16th for an educational event where we will review and discuss the following: •       How does the 3.8% investment surtax work •       What is net investment income •       What is modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) •       What are the threshold amounts •       What are the best strategies to reduce MAGI •       What are the best strategies to reduce investment income •       Why Roth conversions in 2012 may be a powerful strategy to consider •       Why it may make sense to harvest long-term capital gains in 2012 Hosted by Cyrus Clausen (NPN member since 2008) – Financial Advisor with Luzadder & Associates\, a financial advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial Services\, Inc. and Jamie Russo – Chief of Work and Wellness with Enerspace Chicago Nibbles and refreshments will be provided.

Last year’s inaugural festival drew over 37\,000 people and this year is going to be even larger! A highlight of the 2011 Southside Polish Fest was Chicago’s Original Pierogi Eating Contest.

At approx 6:30pm\, we grill out and BBQ for a few hours while we wait for dusk. People are encouraged to bring their own spread - but we supply burgers\, brats\, hot dogs\, soda\, water\, and tons of good candy movie (watch out - the Swedish Fish go fast). All of the grill food\, soda\, candy\, and\, of course\, an unbelievably large amount of buttered popcorn are on the house! For this movie - we'll make sure to have plenty of Reese's Pieces so you can get in the ET mood... Please RSVP at http://www.meetup.com/Outdoor-Movie-Nights/ The events are BYOBlankets and BYOB. At dusk\, we fire up the industrial sized popcorn machine\, the lawn speakers\, and the projector to start the show. Sunset in June is around 8:00 when we'll start the movie. Please note\, the $6 charge will be for each adult attending the movie. Kids (under 13) are free. (This entrance fee will help us cover the cost of each month's movie license from the studios). There is no separate purchase price for food. We've got a great location in Ravenswood for our outdoor cinema. Ravenswood Elementary School has allowed us to use their parking lot - so no problems hunting for a space! The movie itself will be on the large lawn space of Bethany Church - 4250 North Paulina Street. If you have a folding chair you'd like to use on the lawn rather than a blanket\, there's room for those as well (though the screen is elevated so you should be able to see either way).
