Julie and Julia promo imageJulie 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.

Gay Day at Ren Fair
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.
