Being Charitable (or donating $1 to a good cause)

So I while back I discover Kickstarter which is a very cool website that according to their website "is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors."

We believe that...

• A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide.
• A large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands.

So that means that if you donate and the goal is not reached no money gets collected and most ppl who are pputting up the project will have incentives to donate more (ex. if you donate $10 you get this, & if you donate $50 you get this, etc)

Concert In Chicago This Winter (or trying to get closer to the stage)

Many of you may already know that I LOVE going to concerts and I'm always checking to see who is coming to Chicago.

After over 1 hour of searching, i have found that a lot of artists that I like are coming to Chicago in the next couple of months, artists like Lady Antebellum, Hey Monday, Usher, Jimmy Eat World, etc.

So many in fact that i decided to write this blog to keep track of the shows and to also let all my friends and family know about them 

Now I won't be able to go to all the Shows but there are some that are CAN'T MISS.

The Shows are as follow:

C2E2 ( or How my life got so much better)

In April, Reed Exhibitions (The People who brought us New York Comic con) gave us our first Comics Convention in the Downtown Chicago, Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo was a Three day event that was held in McCormick Place in April 17 -20.

With the first Con in downtown Chicago in over 10 years, they knew that the con had to be big and amazing, and I think they accomplished that.
here are a few pictures of all the wonderful people and things that was C2E2.
