Chicago, it's Pinup time! 

We're going to meet up on Thursday July 25 in Wicker Park to picnic and to watch Jurassic Park (being shown by the parks department: http://www.chicagoparkdistrict.com/events/movies/). The dinosaurs will be CGI, but the Pinners will be real, so make plans to join us!

The movie starts at dusk, which should be around 8:30 that day. I'm guessing the movie will start closer to 9 when it's a little darker- if anyone has been to a movie in the park and has further details, please let us know!

I'll be in the park from 7 onward to grab us a spot. Feel free to show up anytime.  More details will be forthcoming about how to spot the Pinners. 
To keep it simple, it's bring your own food/drinks/whatever, but I'll be bringing a pile of popcorn to share!

I'll still be in Wicker Park tomorrow starting at 7.  Feel free to stop by anytime. I'll have a big white sheet to save us an area; feel free to bring another outdoor blanket if you want. I have short, dark hair and I'll try to pop in tomorrow and update with what I'm wearing so it's easier to find me. 

Hopefully I'll see some friendly faces! My email is valancy(dot)hairpin(at)gmail(dot)com if you have any questions!

I'll be there! Wearing a dark blue baseball cap. Do you know if we can bring beer/wine?

Disguise it??

I'm still planning to be there, but can't promise I'll be there much in advance!

I'll be there tonight as well; I'm wearing glasses and a burgundy cardigan. I plan to be there around 7:30 (I'm coming from the West Loop so it's a bit of a commute) and am bringing dark chocolate brownies. Can't wait to see everyone!

According to this: http://www.timeoutchicago.com/things-to-do/this-week-in-chicago/15496041/alcohol-at-parks-and-beaches-city-counsel alcohol in the parks is a no-go, but I've seen quite a few people day drinking in Wicker Park in the past. So maybe go with disguising it? I've got on a black skirt, bright teal tank top and maybe gray cardigan if it's chilly.  See you all for some dinosaurs!

If you're coming to the Chicago Pin, my bus is running late, but I'm coming! Should be there by 7:15.

No, I don't usually go. But I do work across the street. I'll buy you a cup of coffee before you head in!
