ARTinerary ©

ARTinerary© came to me when everyone was designing apps.  I thought here is my app idea; it's for those of you looking for a fun Friday night and do not know what to do.  Maybe you're tired of the same thing every weekend and maybe you are visiting Chicago and do not want to do tourist stuff: you want to see where the locals hang out.  My friend Whitney always said I was Julie McCoy, because I like to plan nights out: "Well I am your cruise director now" with a Friday night plan with an art/creative theme of events.  I hope you will enjoy the agendas and you can follow the ARTinerary© on Twitter.  I have created ARTinerary© for the last four Fridays.  I hope I can keep it up and I hope I do not forget. Here is the first of the new year: Friday January 4, 2013 ARTinerary©:
