Monday Sundae!



Hey! This week, the good stuff gets a head start with Monday Sundae...three scoops of events that you might wanna-kinda-needsta be at! LOL...

First Scoop
Ledisi Quick Fast and In A Hurry!

Y'all up on mah girl Ledisi? She is the soul songstress that has been playin' on Quiet Storm shows for quite some time. You may be familiar with her hits, "Alright" and "In the Morning" from her most recent album, Lost and Found. Its hot!
Well, Ms. Ledisi will be in Chicago again (for those of you who missed her at the NDIGO Gala this past summer) for The Experience with Ledisi as she debuts her Christmas album at the Dusable Museum on the South Side.

The Experience with Ledisi
Dusable Museum--740 East 56th Place
Tues., December 16, 2008 TOMORROW!
7pm, Doors open at 6:30pm
$20 pays for entrance to mini-concert and a copy of Ledisi's new Christmas CD
Tickets available at the door or The Music Experience

Second Scoop!
Chi-City Photos Downtown

I went to see the following photography exhibit a few weeks ago. It was huge and great, at the same time. The photos are by various photographers taken at different times throughout the city documenting everyday life in neighborhoods and the evolution of Chicago. The exhibition begins with black and white photographs of former landmarks that were torn down to make way for the city as we know it today and smoothes out over several decades with pictures of folks that we can identify with in the many diverse communities across our city.
Its free and allows one to step into communities and the lives of people that we would normally not have access to.

Chicago Cultural Center
78 E. Washington (Washington and Michigan Avenue)
Free admission
Run until January 4, 2009

Third Scoop!
Get Some Ice In Ya' Life

Bundle up and take yo' tail out there and skate! The rink is open as long as weather permits until March 2009. 
Skate rental is $9. I would suggest making this an early Saturday date or going on a weekday because everyone and their momma is downtown for the holiday season! Have fun!
