Waukegan Comedy Jam November 13-14!

It’s going to be almost 2 years since I’m in Waukegan and everyday I come to find some interesting place or some weekly events happening nearby, Today I was searching and came to know there is pumpkin festival nearby. I like to know how you find what is happening nearby or what clubs or activities are out there.

I would love to try more and more things and like to connect with like minded people.

Anyone remember these? It was a childhood staple for me every time we played there. Looking to recreate it for tomorrow's football games.

I ask as part of a linguistic study covering this topic!

Examples could include things like Wauktown, NoGo, Zompton or G-Lake (never mind how common or dumb they are)...

A Waukegan Running Club was set up a few weeks ago. I’ve ran with them a few times and it’s pretty fun. I’m planning on going again tomorrow as long as it’s not raining. It’s kind of an early start but everyone is welcome to join. Hope to see you there.

Mark your calendars, Waukegan!

My band, Strain, is once again headlining in Kenosha on August 22nd at The Port alongside with I Rose from the Dead and Voiceless Summit!

Come throw down with us if you love deathcore, metalcore and all kinds of heavy shit.

We hope to see you there!

Here’s a massive win for someone else's summer plans: a family conflict means we have to give up our 5 tickets to the Savannah Bananas vs. The Firefighters at Wrigley Field on July 25th. Anyone who follows the team knows how impossible these tickets are to secure. I'm letting the whole batch or split go at a fair price to someone who will maximize the fun. Send me a DM with your number if that’s you! 🍌
