Want to help us rock out to live music this summer?? We're looking into some of these: http://summerfest.com/ http://summercampfestival.com/ http://www.bimf.net/

There are some great micro-breweries in the Chicago-land area!

Trying tapas at places like Cafe Babareeba, and others in Chicago-land remind me of Barcelona!

Help us develop a more cultivated palate when it comes to wine!

We're looking for your kind gifts to go toward a grill. Allison and Tony love to entertain guests, but a small charcoal grill just wont cut it anymore. Help us cook and entertain and we may just cook you a grilled pizza or a shish kabob!

Tony and I are curious about the art/science of Home Brewing! We took a class at the library last year, and we've been eager to try ever since! Now we're in the market for a starter kit...

Full confession: I (Allison) have never been! I'd love to go and nerd out with Tony!

Help us learn to brew barista-quality coffee at home from Ipsento Coffee and learn about different roasts and regions of coffee!

We enjoy learning science behind our favorite drinks. Found this class on Dabble.co!

We have a wooden pallet sitting in our basement because we dream of being able to turn it into furniture. Please enable our quest for more DIY furniture and useful projects (and we just may some day make a bench for our backyard, so you don't need to sit on tree logs)

It's such a treat visiting this movie theatre in Arlington Heights, where you can order drinks and food from your seat! Also, the chairs are ridiculously comfortable...

We drink a lot of tea at home, but have so much to learn! TeaLula is a charming local business in nearby Park Ridge. http://www.tealula.com/46/an-introduction-to-loose-leaf-tea

Want to help us polish our swing dancing moves? We like the look of this studio, seems like a fun atmosphere: http://www.mayihavethisdance.com/

This cooking class in Naperville with Veronica Porter would bring back memories of New Orleans...We'd make shrimp jambalaya, spicy remoulade, mini muffulettas, and Cajun maque choux—a braised corn salad.

This is not a comment on either one of our cooking skillz! In this class, the chef prepares a four-course menu based on the guests’ wine selections, and educates guests with with cooking demos and tasting notes, encouraging them to discuss the differences in their pairings.

We're curious to visit our local Yoga studio, and try some of their various classes! http://www.twistedtreeyoga.org/
