HAPPY FRIDAYYYYY!! 🦃 Okay, serious question... HOW EARLY AM I SUPPOSED TO BUY MY TURKEY?! 😭 Last year I waited way too long and ended up with a bird that we absolutely DEMOLISHED in record time. This year I'm going bigger, but I need enough time to find a turkey that can actually survive my friends’ appetites. So please, someone tell me when I should start turkey shopping before I make the same mistake twice. 💀

Speaking of going big, Chicago's got something cooking this weekend, and it's definitely not turkey. 👀

Chicago's rave roots are getting a proper throwback! Redline Masquerade brings MUST DIE!'s special techno set alongside NEVAEH, Mike Dearborn, and a '90s-inspired lineup of underground legends. Enter to win.
