The Chicago History Museum is awesome. I love the building as much as the exhibits. It’s easy to lose an afternoon inside. It’s OK because you don’t feel bad since you’re learning about Chicago. It’s also a great place to bring the kids. The new Lincoln’s Chicago exhibit opened this week. One of the countries most well-loved presidents visited Chicago enough to make it his second home. The CHM is turning back the clock to the 1860s. The CHM is also celebrating President’s Day next Monday. The museum has family friendly activities planned from 10am to 3pm.

Direction has distributed CHM materials throughout the city to promote their monthly events.

Lincoln’s Chicago opened this month at the Chicago History Museum. Please visit chicagohs.org for information about the exhibit and special events.

The United States stage premier of hit Australian musical “Boojum! Nonsense, Truth, and Lewis Carroll” opens this week at the DCA Storefront Theater. Written by Martin and Peter Wesley-Smith, the production is part musical theater and part fantasy story based on the Lewis Carroll poem “The Hunting of the Snark.” Come see the company the Chicago Reader has called the, “Best effort to keep opera a living art!”

The direction staff is proud to be promoting this Chicago Opera Vanguard event. Direction printworks also handled the promotional material creation for this premier.

“Boojum: Nonsense, Truth, and Lewis Carroll” runs until December 19 at the DCA Theater. Please visit chicagovanguard.org for more information.

This past weekend, direction tour marketing teamed with our friends BMF Media Group to provide brand ambassadors who sampled Bustelo Cool and the new Bustelo Ice Cream to the throngs of attendees of Sleepless Night in Miami. Our Miami street teams worked crowds from 9PM through 2AM directing traffic to the Cafe Bustelo store and two mobile stations set-up for on site sampling.

The teams had a great time and the party went all night and we went through ALLOT of product samples. I can’t wait for Bustelo Ice Cream to hit Chicago but in the meantime I’ll have to settle for a Bustelo Cool!

The famous author, speaker and founding pastor of the Mars Hill Bible Church returns to Chicago in support of his new book/lecture. Rob Bell’s latest, Drops Like Stars, which discusses the relationship between suffering and creativity, will surely draw sold out crowds. To help promote his appearance, we executed a quick flyer and poster distribution throughout the city. Be sure to catch Rob Bell when he makes his stop in Chicago, one of only four locations on his Midwest tour. 

Rob Bell’s Drop Like Stars is at the Congress Theatre August 19th.
