Some highlights:
September Editorial: "Getting Schooled"
• Wednesday, September 9, 1:20 to 2 p.m. This weekend (Sept. 12 and 13), at the Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago -- now in its seventh year-- more than 300 artists/crafters from around the country will be selling their handmade stuff. Danny Orendorff is a partner in putting on the fair-- which started in Chicago and now happens in Brooklyn, Los Angeles and San Francisco every year as well. The fair also has a year-round venue in Chicago -- the Renegade Handmade boutique in Wicker Park. The whole thing started in 2002, when Sue Daly was looking around for places to sell the jewelry and accessories that she was making, and she found that existing arts fairs were all really expensive to get a booth in, and they didn't really have a vibe that matched the funky, un-pretentious, craft-y stuff that she and her friends were making. So she started her own. It got huge, and now it's a year-round, nation-wide thing.
• Friday, September 11, 2:20 to 3 p.m. Sex education: Not just for kids. Searah Deysach is owner of Early-to-Bed, which describes itself as "Chicago's first women-owned, women-oriented, boy-friendly, queer and trans-positive sex shop," located in Edgewater on Chicago's North Side. And in addition to selling gear, they run workshops with titles like "Sex Toys 101" and "Sex is good!"-- some at the store, others at community groups and colleges.
Music
• Wednesday, September 2, 2:20 to 2:30 p.m. Robert Loerzel, from local music blog Underground Bee gives us previews of the Wire magazine's "Adventures in Modern Music" festival at the Empty Bottle and the Bloodshot Records 15th anniversary party at the Hideout.
