Green City Market @ Notebaert Nature Museum
The Green City Market has moved indoors to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum's North Gallery, located at 2430 N. Cannon Drive, and will be selling the same good stuff they're known for from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. today, with Chef Tony Priolo of Coco Pazzo Cafe giving a cooking demo at 10:30 a.m. as well.
Wine Blending Seminar @ Just Grapes
Yeah, it's a "master class" and sure, it's $100, but you get to bring home a magnum of your own wine (with personalized label -- oooh!). A magnum. Come on. If it sounds like a deal, or at the very least, an expense easily remedied (or forgotten) by drinking a magnum of your own wine, Just Grapes is still taking reservations for its first-ever wine blending seminar. 6 to 8pm, 560 W. Washington, Suite 100. Call 312.627.WINE (9463), or click here to sign up.

At tonight's meeting: Liz McLean-Knight and Michael Una will be giving presentations on digital music production and recycling old hardware for musical purposes. Dorkbot Chicago happens tonight at 8:00 PM at Deadtech (3321 W. Fullerton). For more details see the Deadtech site.
