Coming this weekend

This weekend's Chicago Radio Spotlight will shine on former WCFL jock Doug Dahlgren. He was a star in Chicago during the 1970s, and tells some tales from those days. Look for that tomorrow morning.

On Sunday, I'll be posting a new Father Knows Nothing column. This week's column will be the story of a burly man protecting his home from dead animal carcasses. Your admiration of this hero will know no bounds.

Just One Bad Century will also continue this weekend. At the website, we'll go back in time to this week in 1908 and this week in 1945. At the blog, Cubs 365 will tell stories about a monster and a knuckleballer.

If you're out and about tonight, stop by Kim's book launch party for "Down at the Golden Coin" (2113 W. Roscoe St., 6-9pm). I'll be tending bar for part of the festivities, as will my Eckhartz Press business partner Dave Stern. In case, I'm being too subtle, maybe I should just come out and say it: "There will be alcohol there."

Have a great weekend!
