new year, new beginnings

So I'm finally jumping onto the blog-wagon, so to speak. For a long time now my friends have 'ooh'ed and 'ahh'ed over how I find all the bargain finds this city has to offer. As a grad student who works part-time and freelances, I've got some down-time on my hands. I spend the first hour of my day on the internet scanning on-line magazines, newspapers, Chicago centered blogs, and any other information sharing mediums then I pass the good stuff on to my friends. Call me an opportunist who likes to spread the wealth. Here I'll post promising events and share fun experiences that I think everyone ought to give a try.
