	Julie and Julia with Fran Bailey Three of us from the Kane County group joined Fran Bailey and her Out in the Suburbs Group to see Julie and Julia in Schamuburg. In total there were approximately 15 people all sitting together all watching the movie. At one point I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my chair. After the movie ten of us went over to the RAM brewery for drinks and dinner. It ended up being a very late night for me because I was enjoying the company of new friends. If you are interested you can watch the trailer here.
	Game Nights: We get together to play a variety of games. Some are old favorites and others no one has ever heard of. We try out all different types of games from board games to card games. Some of the most recent games we have played are listed below. Apples to Apples, Guitar Hero, Music Trivia, Rock Band, and Scattergories.
	Festivals: At the end of August the Kane County group met up with several other groups for the official gay day at the Bristol Renaissance Fair. There were approximately 25 people that we knew enjoying the beautiful weather for the fair. It was nice to see rainbow flags everywhere and people not doing double takes when two guys were holding hands or each other. We ate Turkey legs, drank sassafrass, and shopped. After the fair a group of ten of us went out to dinner in Gurnee. Hopefully you can make our next event outing. Check out the upcoming events page. Some of the other festivals we have attended: Festival of the Vine, First Fridays in Geneva, Swedish Days.
	Dinners: We had our last group dinner at Schnitzel Platz in Glendale Heights. We had authentic German food - Sauerbraten, Pork Schnitzel, Wiener Schnitzel - and music for Oktoberfest. We even saw beer served in a giant boot! We had a total of ten people for this event. Afterward the entire group went to Mickeys house for coffee and desserts.

End of Summer Picnic

We had a great turnout for the End of Summer Picnic at Fabyan Forest preserve! There were about 20 people, including some we hadn't seen for a while and a couple of new friends too! Massage Bear Ken organized the bike riders and kept track of a lot of details, RolledHam Ryan managed the guest list and side dishes, and the other moderators, Ben and Steve kept things rolling. Elaine and Denise had practically a whole picnic left over from the previous weekend, so they made this one a breeze for us! And it was great to see everyone! What a beautiful day we had for it.

As I get settled in my new home, I'm going to attempt to host an event one Saturday in October, and Steve has offered someting for November. Tim and Bruce are open to another movie night at their place in Aurora, and we haven't had a dinner outing in a while, so maybe somebody wants to suggest a place and organize one! What do you think?
