SUMMARY:WITCH\, PLEASE: A Candles & Cookies Workshop
DESCRIPTION:When the veil grows thin and the season of shadows arrives\, even the most refined witches need a night of indulgence. WITCH\, PLEASE is not your ordinary workshop — it’s an evening of creation and delicious mischief. \nYou’ll begin by learning the ancient (well\, maybe not that ancient) art of candle crafting. With guidance\, you’ll choose from rich\, seasonal fragrances and craft a candle that glows with your own personal magic — a keepsake to ward off the long dark nights. \nAs your candle is setting\, the spell turns to sweetness. The cookie decorating session\, led by Ashley from Folkmade Cookies\, will show you how to conjure ordinary sugar cookies into works of edible art. Think witchy elegance: intricate icing\, shimmering details\, and a touch of wicked charm. You’ll leave with cookies as beautiful as they are delicious — perfect for sharing with your coven (or hoarding for yourself\, no judgment). \nThis workshop is about more than just crafts; it’s a gathering of kindred spirits. Sip\, laugh\, decorate and create among other lovers of the season. By the end of the evening\, you’ll carry home your hand-poured candle and your personally decorated cookies — tangible reminders of an evening well spent in the company of magic. \nBecause darling… basic witches make basic crafts. And that is simply not us.

SUMMARY:Author Event: Erik Piepenburg with Monica Eng
DESCRIPTION:Join author and New York Times journalist\, Erik Piepenburg for a conversation about his latest book\, Dining Out: First Dates\, Defiant Nights\, and Last Call Disco Fries at America’s Gay Restaurants! Erik will be in conversation with Chicago reporter\, Monica Eng! \nFrom a New York Times journalist\, a culinary tour of gay restaurants—their history\, and how they evolved as a space of safety and celebration for the LGBTQ+ community—full of joy\, sex\, sorrow\, activism\, and nostalgia. \nDining Out explores how gay people came of age\, came out\, and fought for their rights not just in gay bars or the streets\, but in restaurants. From cruisy urban cafeterias of the 1920s to mom-and-pop diners that fed the Stonewall generation to the intersectional hotspots of the early 21st century. Using archival material\, original reporting and interviews\, and first-person accounts\, Erik Piepenburg explores how LGBTQ restaurants shaped and continue to shape generations of gay Americans. \nThrough the eyes of a reporter and the stomach of a hungry gay man\, Dining Out examines the rise\, impact and legacies of the nation’s gay restaurants past\, present\, and future\, connecting meals with memories. Hamburger Mary’s\, Florent\, a suburban Denny’s queered by kids: Piepenburg explores how these and many other gay restaurants\, coffee shops\, diners\, and unconventional eateries have charted queer placemaking and changed the modern LGBTQ civil rights movement for the better.
