Let's go see Shawn's one act play for the May DNO on Saturday May 31st. The show runs about an hour and a half and starts at 8. If you can't make the play, you could meet us across the street at Chief O'Neills (http://www.chiefoneillspub.com/) afterwards. The theatre's address is: 3502 N. Elston Ave. and we can meet outside fifteen minutes before 8. Tickets cost fifteen dollars or pay what you can.
THE GREAT GALVANI
Gents,
We're headed to Farnsworth Park, since we were rained out last time. It's located at 568 E. Mount Curve Ave. just off of Lake St. in Altadena. Their phone number is (626) 798-6335. Looks like this one has all we need. We'll be their from 9:30 to 11:30 or until those little ones give us other orders.
Give me a call if you have questions, need directions or just want to say hi.
626-836-2237.

OK... I'm bound and determined to get this right this week, since my last two playgroups crashed and burned due to unforseen circumstances beyond the control of anyone but lady fate. This week, we'll be downtown at Fountain Square - between walnut & vine and 5th & 6th.
Here we go again. I've checked the weather report and there's no rain in sight. So we are headed to Farnsworth Park in Altadena.

At playgroup we discussed meeting at Mr. Singer's 10am show on Wednesday at the Lincoln Park Zoo. He performs in the yellow farmhouse in the petting zoo on Stockton. Suggested donation: $1.
Afterwards, we will head to the farmer's market and enjoy the day. If anyone is interested, we would welcome your company.
Be well,
Chris

ChicagoDads welcomes fathers of all descriptions to our weekly playgroup.
Tomorrow the playgroup will be at Oz Park. There is a large wooden play structure, plenty of shade and a new rubber surface.
We are going Bananas!
We are meeting this Friday (last minute, I know) at a new location for the cincinnati area. Bananas is Liberty Township's newest indoor playground with lots of inflatable slides and bouncies. Take your socks off and join the kids or sit back in the parent's lounge area and eat some Papa John's pizza. The price is $5.50 per person (under 2 gets in FREE).

I have heard several comments on how several people like Margate Park.

ChicagoDads welcomes fathers of all descriptions to our weekly Thursday playgroup.
This week we will meet at Margate Park Playground. Conveniently located close to a lot of Vietnamese food it's right off LSD at Foster Avenue. The park has a large newer playlot and a parking lot. It's also just a half mile from the RedLine Argyll stop.
Like Noah before him, Parky the Raccoon was forced to place all of the world's species onto an ark. And just like the Biblical flood waters cascading through Earth's canyons propelling Noah's divine craft into unchartered salvation, Parky's Ark will carry our children unto great adventures too.
OK so Im a huge fan of Language Stars. Andrew has gone for the past year and really enjoys it. It combines crafts, singing, and full language immersion (Spanish, French, Italian, German, or Mandarin).
They opened a new facility last week with a ton of parking and huge classrooms. So if you were at all interested in the idea this might give you a place to check out.

*UPDATE* THIS DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED TO SATURDAY 26th DUE TO CONFLICTS!
Check out that beer!
Dudes need a night out every once in a while. Why not spend it at a place with gigantic beers and pleasant outdoor seating?
Our first DNO will be at Houfbrauhaus in Newport, Kentucky. It's just across the street from the Aquarium and all that. I'm open to changing the date if everyone can't come because we're only a trio at this point. That's an open challenge for lurkers to come and drink. Bring it... lurkers!
We're venturing outside Pasadena to one of the most scenic parks in the area. Lacy Park has infant swings, two playstructures, restrooms, and lots of green space for running and playing ball. As well as pavement for bike riding.
Lacy Park is located at 1485 Virginia Road in San Marino, CA 91108. You will have to walk a way from the parking lot, so you may want to bring a stroller.
Here's a map of the area:

Tomorrow afternoon, Ana and I are going to Foster Avenue Beach around 2:00 PM for an hour or perhaps an hour and a half depending on the weather. The forecast finally looks fairly decent for a beach day. I know there's the normal Thursday morning playdate but for those who can't make the morning event like us or for those with enough energy for two playdates, look for us near where the stroller / walkway ends by the water.

Gents,
You deserve a break today! Location and time will be posted soon. The "190 North" piece will air that night, so for those of you who can stay out until 10:35, we'll watch the piece there.
I'm searching for a suitable venue that might have a separate area or room with a TV. FTB is closed at the moment. If you know of one, please email me at jimjillchicago@hotmail.com.
Cheers,
JIm
Gentleman,
We'll head to Will's Northwoods Inn for some fun and some 190 North on Sunday night. If you're from Wisconsin, this place should feel like home. There are various dead animals on the walls, Lombardi posters, darts, bratwurst, and cheese curds.
