I was explaining to friends that since there are not a lot of paid professional women's soccer leagues in the world, that a lot of the best players come to the US. So this is probably the easiest way to watch really high quality soccer live! Oh, and tickets are really cheap! So if you are a soccer fan, or a women's sports fan you will enjoy going to Red Stars games!

A few friends and I sat right in front of the brother of one of the player's (Natalie Spilger) and it was awesome to see them interact! She did great and he was right there behind her! It really pulls you further into the game and brings you right onto the field with these girls. Awesome job girls!.. I hope you progress and push Chicago to LOVE soccer and respect it and what you do out there as much as I do now. Tip: Family members of the players tend to sit within section 126 which runs about $30 a seat (you sit right behind the players bench). Although you can get general admission tickets which are $15. At the end of the game a player or two stands back and signs autographs for fans.. This also takes place right below section 126. This venue is extremely kid friendly!

The "organization" waited until the last minute to delay the concert, cancelled the opening acts, paid fines to the City of Chicago ALL to AVOID refunding ticketholders. The Cubs can call it what they will, but it was ultimately THEFT BY DECEPTION! The concert did NOT go on as timed, the opening acts were cancelled, and the Cubs paid a fine to the City of Chicago because it was cheaper than offering refunds. I WILL NEVER set foot in Wrigley, I WILL NEVER AGAIN support the Cubs. The Cubs are nothing more than a money grubbing organization owned by Trump-like billionaires - profit over people. Concerns for concert-goer safety? That's just BS since they have cancelled games for less. This is the last I'll say about the money-grubbing Cubs organization. The Mumford & Sons concert and the Cubs' theft by deception will live with them as I can and am doing concerts elsewhere in the future - just not with them...

Being a cards fan, I'm super happy I got to catch them play the cubbies on the Friday before 4th of July. If you remember correctly, the cards beat the cubs by 16 runs, but I digress. Wrigleyville is an amazing area, and it was really cool to go through this experience again while watching the game. We sat at the bleachers with our $18 beers (yikes, yet typical) and had the best time. It wasn't super hot this day due to a storm (thank goodness) but definitely recommend taking some sunscreen, glasses, and a hat if you find yourself there when the sun is blazing. Till next time, Wrigley!

In the name of love Parade in the name of love Being in Chicago for the Pride Parade was a real experience. It messes with traffic and messes with homophobic people of which there are plenty - especially in the rich suburbs of Chicagoland but I'll tell you what. This is one of the best Pride festivals and parades that you'll ever see. Some of the cops were making questionable statements about some of the people marching, which wasn't much fun to listen to. The whole area of town where they March is a very LGBTQ-friendly area to begin with and one of the coolest parts of town. It's a place where I hang out a lot anyway when I'm in Chicago. The third great city of the US makes a real effort and the buildings downtown are adorned with the rainbow flags and even though the already awful traffic of the weekend is made more awful, it's well worth coming in and checking it out for yourself. We loved every second. I didn't like that all the gay clubs around here closed really early or were not even open on the night of the parade and as I said, some of the cops that were hanging around after the parade was over were making unfortunate remarks and being a little bit stereotypical. BOSE is pretty stereo typical too. But in a good way.

I am glad I had the opportunity to check out the festival the week before the parade and concert. I enjoyed seeing all the people celebrating with joy and supporting local LGBTQA+ artists. There were great performers in 3 different stages at each side of the street. The festival was free with a $15 donation option. One can enter and exit as pleased as long as they kepy the sticker we receive upon entering. This was a family friendly event, so it was great to see families and little ones enjoying the festivities. The only draw backs were that the festival was a bit overcrowded and wished there were room to walk around and chances to sit and relax. We couldn't find many places and at times saw individuals with physical disabilities struggle getting around the crowd. Overall, It was a fun event to explore. I look forward to next year's festivities and catching the parade!
