January flew by, and we're still recapping all the excellent music, theatre, and hockey we saw. February is just 2 days away. Here's what we're looking forward to covering this coming month:
2nd-Disney on Ice Toy Story 3-(check out their site for videos, fun games and more)-Chicago shows are running now through Feb. 13th. We've already chosen our family 4 pack ticket winner, but discount tickets are still available. Click HERE for the code and details about our Toy Story 3 comment contest. We'll be seeing the show ourselves on the 2nd and we'll post a full review.
5th-Keller Williams (kids by day/18+ at night)-*enter HERE through Monday 1/31 midnight for a family 4 pack of tickets to Keller's No Kidding! Kids' Show, at 3:30pm at Park West, Susan Salidor at Schubas and Lindsay and The Shimmys at Beat Kitchen! 3 winners chosen. 
*Doors open at 2:30--join a pre show drum circle. $30 SUPER FREEK pass gets you 1 ticket to the kids show/1 to the adult show and a laminate that admits you to a meet n greet with Keller. Check the Park West site for tickets and details.
- 5th-Susan Salidor (kids)-Schubas-10:30am

6th-The Young Stracke All-Stars, ages 8-13, open for Ella Jenkins, whose musical legacy spans 50 years-The Old Town School of Folk Music (OTSFM)-11:00am. ChiIL Mama's known 3 of The Young Stracke All-Stars since they were in pre-school, and is excited to see them perform.
We've also been huge fans of Ella Jenkins since our kids' pre-school days. Sagezilla got to hold her hand at Kidzapalooza 2006, during Ella's birthday celebration, and she used to adamantly insist her name was "Hello Jenkins", instead of Ella. Somehow, I don't think Ella would mind.
We'd highly recommend this unique experience to see some of the newest folk musicians playing with one of their inspirations, the first lady of children's folk music herself. ChiIL Mama will be covering the show and posting interviews.
