Saturday!
There are lots of music event opportunities in and around Chicago this weekend… read on for the details and get out to enjoy one or more of these shows if you can… welcome to new folks and thanks to all for reading, subscribing to, sponsoring, and getting the word out by sharing Jerome’s Event List!
And did I mention that Jen & Jerome Fest III is happening tomorrow Sunday all day at FitzGeralds? We’d sure like you to come enjoy it with us and some of the coolest music fan friends around, so if you haven’t already, please get some tickets now at the FitzGeralds web site or Babygold Restaurant shop, or just show up and get them at the gate! Proceeds go to the Greater Chicago Food Depository, a great cause in these times. If you can’t make it and would like to contribute, you can buy a ticket anyway, or if you’d like to contribute another amount, get in touch with Jen or Jerome to get particulars on how you can do that! Thanks very much for your patience with us promoting this event, and for your support of the event and the GCFD!
And welcome to new subscribers, glad you’re along for the ride, watch as this resource evolves and continues to improve, and please help by sharing with friends, and letting me know about what might be missing, in error, etc.
