What up, Chicago?! So, funny story. I sort of just happened upon free BTS tickets, and now I’m going to the concert at Soldier Field tonight. I’m not even really an ARMY (did I use that right? LOL), so I sort of feel impostor syndrome about going. But trust and believe I’ll be screaming during the two songs I know!!!

Here’s another concert coming up if K-pop isn’t quite your thing…

She blew up for singing about Friday in 2011, and now she’s a powerhouse in the hyperpop scene. Rebecca Black is hitting House of Blues with Exhibitionism on Tour, and we’re giving away a pair of free tickets. Enter to win them now.

THE LOCALS LIST W/ DREA & JOURNIE 🐶

Happy belated National Dog Day! And also, belated National Women’s Equality Day. Funny how two of the most awesome national holidays fall on the same day. To celebrate, we teamed up with Chicago content creator Drea (and her adorable dog Journie!), who gave us the inside scoop on the best places around the city to hang out with your furry friend.

K-POP KRAZINESS 💜

LOCALS ONLY

• Those BTS tickets are EXPENSIVE, girl. If you didn’t get a chance to grab tickets, that doesn’t mean you can’t partake in the fun. Our friends over at Block Club put together a list of ARMY hangs in the city this weekend. Check it out.

• Sipping on a glass of wine and listening to crackling vinyl are two of life’s simple joys. Now, at Silk “Vino & Vinyl,” you can do just that with your friends in the heart of Logan Square. Swing by La Lunita this Saturday night.
