Kanye West Homecoming at AAHH! FEST 2014 in Chicago!

kanye-west-at-ahhfest-by-joshua-mellin-2
The first annual AAHH! Fest took place Sunday in Chicago. Curated by Common, the lineup featured comedian Dave Chappelle, rappers Jay Electroncia, Lupe Fiasco, De La Soul, and, in what was the worst kept secret, Kanye West as the secret surprise guest. (Kanye’s charity Donda House was one of the presenting sponsors.)
Kanye ripped through a 16-song set comprised of “Jesus Walks”, “Power”, “Touch the Sky”, “All of the Lights”, and hometown anthem “Homecoming”, among many of his other greatest hits. For his performance of “Clique”, he brought out Common, Jay Electronica, and Vince Staples. For the final song, he teamed with Common to perform their collaborative track, “Get Em High”.

The Boulevard Festival this weekend in Logan Square!

tbf
 

The Boulevard is a classic Chicago event that is as diverse as the neighborhood itʼs located in. Logan Square, the backdrop for The Boulevard, is a historic Chicago neighborhood filled with beautiful century-old mansions and packed with culinary gems.
Bands on our two stage festival are an eclectic batch of some of Chicago’s hippest bands. Our line-up is one not to miss this summer. Chicago’s favorite independent promoters, Silver Wrapper, have curated one of the stages that will feature incredible talent throughout the weekend.
This event doesn’t only differ in talent. We carefully select some delicious craft beers… some that aren’t typically offered at other street festivals… YES!
A portion of the proceeds benefit the mission and outreach of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church of Logan Square, active community member for over 100 years. Festival entry is a $5 suggested donation.
