This year local punk cover choir the Blue Ribbon Glee Club turns ten years old! If it were an actual child, it’d be starting fifth grade, which makes a weird kind of sense—Gossip Wolf remembers keeping track of the group’s upcoming gigs by checking its MySpace page! On Saturday, October 7, the BRGC throws a birthday party and reunion at Cafe Mustache, a good occasion for glee clubbers (and fans) to catch up; joining the choir on the lineup are a slew of bands featuring current and former members, including Wet Wallet, Dust Bunnies, and Hex Kittens.

On Saturday, October 7, the University of Chicago’s Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts hosts a 12-hour festival for its fifth anniversary. The packed schedule includes art exhibits, film screenings, a Lego animation workshop, a community parade, a barbecue dinner party, and performances by the likes of the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble and the Anat Cohen Tentet. Most events are free, but it’s a good idea to register in advance at logan5year.org. v
