Best of the Blogs: STUDY's Week in Review - 6/17

Got your perfect weekend in order yet? Good... us neither. But as long as it doesn't involve rioting over a hockey team (oy) or tweeting half nekkie photos to the world (vey), we think we're all in for a pretty good time. Here in Chicago there's lots to check out this weekend like Taste of Randolph Street - the non-disgusting food fest that isn't Taste of Chicago - and of course the BackGarage + Cushion Chicago Vintage Warehouse Sale. Those two events are actually pretty close to each other so after you're done stuffing your face you can pop on over to the sale. And be sure to bring them some corn dogs, will ya...
