It’s the size and shape of a donut, so why not riff on that?
That’s apparently the theory behind a pop-up coming to Chicago in November in order to promote the brand new, smaller sibling of its year-old Home assistant.
Say hello to Google Home Mini – hands-free help around the house, now donut-sized. Ask it questions. Tell it to do things. It’s a little help at home, like only Google can.
To celebrate the launch of our new donut-sized Google Home Mini, we built a pop-up donut shop and we’re bringing it to Chicago on Saturday, November 4 and Sunday, November 5.
Inside, you’ll get the chance to win either a brand new Google Home Mini or a couple of delicious donuts. It’s all free and there’s plenty more surprises inside, so we hope to see you there. Learn more at g.co/donuts

20th Century Fox has announced a “Bob’s Burgers” movie, Deadlinereports. The film is currently slated for release on July 17, 2020. “We know the movie has to scratch every itch the fans of the show have ever had, but it also has to work for all the good people who’ve never seen the show,” series creator Loren Bouchard said. “We also know it has to fill every inch of the screen with the colors and the sounds and the ever-so-slightly greasy texture of the world of Bob’s—but most of all it has to take our characters on an epic adventure. In other words, it has to be the best movie ever made. But no pressure, right?!” Bouchard added on Twitter that they are still considering titles, and joked that it may be “Horseplay, the Horsening.” (MORE HERE)

I love Netflix. The shows keep getting better and better. I guess this is the result of investing in more original programming? Also what is ULTRA HD? If it includes a free pizza delivery option I’m in!!
Last nights’ Queued Up show with Welshly Arms was a blast. This retro blues, soulfully edgy, alterna rock band from Cleveland gave a much needed break from the world we’re in. What an escape it was. The only thing that brought the crowd at Bottom Lounge back down from the cloud was this amazingly perfect tribute to Tom Petty. While we’ve seen many great covers in the last few days, many agaped jaw could be seen as this rendition of ‘Running Down A Dream’ was performed.

TMZ is reporting that Stephen Paddock had two rooms booked at Black Stone Hotel during Lollapalooza.
He booked one room for August 1, 2017, 2 days before the August 3 kickoff and then booked a second room for an August 3 arrival. Both rooms had an August 6 checkout .. that’s when Lollapalooza ended.
Sources tell TMZ “Paddock specifically requested both rooms be a “view room” which only face Grant Park, where the concert was being held. And here’s the scariest part … it’s difficult if not impossible to flee because of the river. Paddock had never booked a room at the hotel before, nor had his girlfriend.”
Paddock never showed. He also had a room in Vegas overlooking the Life is Beautiful festival the weekend before Route 91.
Our friend, comedian Craig Gass always has unbelievable access at shows. This was no different. Watch his footage from Pearl Jam’s Wrigley show last year.
