May as well start 'er up. August 14 & 15, 2010 3200-3400 W Bryn Mawr Ave Here's: the Yelp (!!!!) pageInfo on 2010 K-pop contest (I think)There's a page on Time-Out, but it really doesn't give you any info and it sports a bogus link ("k-festival.com") that takes you to a parking lot. (A parking lot is a web page that claims to be for a certain subject, but just contains a lot of links to other pages.) For those of you interested in the nearby Midwest Buddhist temple: 2010 Ginza Holiday, Aug 13-15, 2010I hope others will add to this information. Bo |

Festival queen? You got your crown ready, Chigirl? I know you have one...
Why do people do Facebook pages for public events? They're not publicly accessible! Oh, well.

Chicago Korean Street Festival, and the Facebook entry was the second entry. Butit was for another year, with no details. www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=61219965200 How weird. Most of the other finds were from prior years, though. That's a shame; how will people find it? This is for 2009: www.centerstagechicago.com/festival/koreanfest.html Good thing they always have it in the same place, anyway. |

PS - thanks to chigirl for all the info! Maybe we can "swear" as to her ancestry so she's eligible?

I'm not having any luck in finding a schedule. "This domain k-festival may be for sale by its owner" www.k-festival.com/ and that's the website linked at Time Out Chicago chicago.timeout.com/events/city-picks/62069/4009438/chicago-korean-festivalThis one www.k-festival.com/ is the same, but I clicked on it from ckacc.org/ on the pretty 14th** Annual Korean Festival poster and got something different, but it looks like >:(spam , so I'm not going to click on anything from that page. Topics are Party, Tickets, Dance, Stratford Festival: nothing to do with the Korean Festival. **oops, the 14th annual fest. was in 2009.  This might work, if someone wants to be on stage, but there isn't much information there: www.chikorean.com/kpop-singers-and-dancers-wanted-for-korean-fest-2010/I will not join Twitter, so I can't check out how useful this is: twitter.com/ChicagoKFestchicago.metromix.com/events/fair_festival/chicago-korean-festival-north-park/2080905/contentYou have to sign up to use this one, too: www.facebook.com/ChicagoKoreanFestivalI don't know why the festival hasn't put up a schedule. Too bad no one can find out anything. I'm not joining the tweeters. bah, now I'm getting grumpy.  |
