Music without Borders: Goran Bregovic @ Millennium Park
Bregovic's music fuses gypsy, Bulgarian, rock and other influences and creates "an irresistible urge to dance." In the Pritzker Pavillion, free, 6:30 PM. For more information, visit the website.
Gapers Block Book Club Meeting
This month's meeting of the Gapers Block Book Club takes place tonight at The Book Cellar at 4736 N. Lincoln Ave., where we will be discussing The Man with the Golden Arm by Nelson Algren. The meeting begins at 7:30pm, and new members are always welcome! Hope to see you there. Visit the book club homepage for more information.
"Yacht Rock" @ Empty Bottle
By this point, most people are either completely over Yacht Rock, or you don't know anything about it and don't care to. If you are, somehow, not one of these people, you can catch the whole series at the Empty Bottle at 9 PM. 1035 N. Western Ave; free.
