April 30, 2026

Happy half-birthday to me! Half-birthdays are truly underrated celebrations. Why not acknowledge and celebrate this fun little holiday for yourself? I recently passed 10,000 days old, and I wish I had more warning. I totally would’ve thrown a bash with my pals. Tonight, to celebrate, I’m going on a scuba diving double date. Talk about a mouthful.

While not a half-birthday, this semi-centennial is worth hitting up…

Celebrate the original Rocky movie’s 50th anniversary with Rocky in Concert at The Auditorium and watch the film unfold on giant screens while the Chicago Philharmonic performs the score. Enter now to win tickets. Tix are also 20% off for a limited time!*
