There is zero shortage of things to do, see, and hear in Chicago. Below is a link to the Chicago Summer Fest Guide 2008 put out by the lovely folks at Metromix.
This month alone brings two massive and uber popular festivals, #.1) The Gay Pride Parade Fest, and the monster of them all, 2.) The Taste of Chicago.
For all the details, hit the guide. Enjoy!

This weekend in Chicago is the 39th Annual Gay Pride Parade. Held the last Sunday in June every year, this parade (and weekend fest) is always a good time. I’ve attended in the past, not within the last year or two, but have many times in years gone by.

It is not as wild or crazy as some make it out to be, there are loads of families (both gay and straight) in attendance, and lots of kids as well. It is after all a parade, complete with floats, banners, pinatas, (and of course) the obligatory beads. Some of the floats are quite creative and the music totally hip hoppin.
As sure as Chicago is diverse, so is the Chicago Gay Pride Parade. There are latinos, blacks, chinese, indians, and everything else in between present. All in the name of brotherly and sisterly love.
Too bad i wont be attending this Summer, maybe next. If you are going, do let me know. Feel free to share your load of pics with me. I will post them here on the Chicago blog. Peace, Missy.

As you may (or may not) know i recently acquired a myspace layouts site, and the posts here on Groovy Chicago now all seem to be related to myspace backgrounds. Below is a Chicago Bears Background.
I think i might be pushing it too hard. If so, bare with me. Or maybe i will just turn this blog into a Chicago myspace layout blog. Hmmm, that doesn’t sound half bad. Does it? Regardless i found this neat Chicago Bears layout, and it is a good one.
The layout is well made and features a Chicago Bears helmet, logo, and good use of the teams brown and orange colors. Very Nice! Check out a thumbnail above, and click here for a demo. Go Bears!
