World Of Beer is looking for three interns to go to beer festivals around the country. It pays $12 thousand, for 4 months of work, traveling and drinking beer!  More HERE
Whereas our 101WKQX internship offers no money, you get to clean the (terrifying) breakroom refrigerator, and hand wash Louâs spandex batman suit.Â
He likes extra starch FYI.Â
Seriously, if you want to be a 101WKQX intern and can receive college credit for it, email Lindsay HERE)

Irish cabinet maker, John Walsh, came up with the idea of building tiny, portable pubs you can rent or buy. Not super cheap, but might be worth it for a day with a pub in your backyard. More on the tiny pubs HERE.

Chicagoans may have taken to social media to complain about not getting “I voted” stickers after casting their ballots in Tuesday’s primary, but that isn’t doing much to sway city election officials.(READ MORE HERE)
Who knew so many people only voted just to get a sticker to show everyone else they voted. Are these the same people who post a gym selfie every time they step on a dreadmill to burn a calorie? IDK, but if you’re voting so you can brag or shame someone you’re doing it wrong. I do however like when people post photos that they voted to encourage others to do so. If that’s the reason you want a sticker then I have a solution!! Thanks to the glorious internet YOU TOO CAN OWN AN ‘I VOTED TODAY’ STICKER!! You could even pass them out at the polls if you want!! GET YOUR STICKERS HERE!! – @marconibologna
So what if it wasn’t on the field? Â The brand new stadium in downtown Minneapolis the Minnesota Vikings just dropped $1.1 billion into is located on…. CHICAGO AVENUE!!
The Vikings want to rename the street âVikings Way,â but their proposal was rejected Monday night at City Hall by the Minneapolis Planning Commission. Â Who are probably Bears fans đ

Indy is coming back. Disney just announced that Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford will return to one of their most famous franchises as Indiana Jones 5 opens on July 19, 2019. (READ MORE HERE) I’m just hoping Harrison Ford doesn’t decide to do the spelunking scenes himself in this one. It’s far more dangerous than it looks. Jame Franco lost an arm doing his in that movie 127 hours (the spelunking trip gone horribly wrong). We don’t really need another Indiana Jones movie but if Harrison Ford wants to break stuff with a giant whip AGAIN who are we to stand in the way of his dreams?? Not me I bet he whips real hard. – @marconibologna

The first trailer for Seth Rogen’s “Sausage Party” is out. Heads up, just because it’s animated doesn’t mean it’s clean. This is super NOT SAFE FOR WORK… And probably some people.

No idea what is being said, but who cares? How often does someone mistake a gigantic mushroom for a microphone?

So I was skeptical when I first heard about this reboot. Then I got excited about the first trailer for the lady-centric âGhostbustersâ movie starring Kate McKinnon, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones and Kristen Wiig – but it seems a lot of people werenât into it. (READ MORE HERE) I get it. I’m not really that into reboots either, but they aren’t really for those of us who loved the first version of the thing that’s being rebooted. They’re hoping the new audience won’t watch the original and compare them perhaps? IDK though, if you have any friends at all they won’t let you go through life not knowing where a reboot originated. I really wish these reboots were limited to just the trailer, or a Fallon sketch then we could take a vote, and if enough of us agree that we’d go see it then and only then could they make the full movie. The scary part is they do stuff like that on a smaller scale and these movies tend to never stop being made. Maybe this one will be funny?? – @marconibologna
Tomorrow is the Illinois primary and you haven’t registered to vote yet… actually that isn’t a problem!  Through Election Day, you can register and vote at the same time!  In Chicago, every polling place can register voters on primary day, but you must go to the designated polling place for your address, which can be found HERE
Make sure you have two forms of ID with you, driver’s license and a Social Security card will do, but you can also use a student ID, a credit card, a lease or a LINK card, among other accepted items.  If you’re unable to present suitable ID on Election Day, you can still cast a provisional ballot and provide the proper papers within seven days.
If you are like me and haven’t updated your ID since your last move đ you can update your address when you vote!  Go to the designated polling place for your current address and make sure you bring something (like a piece of mail) with your name and correct address, along with your two pieces of identification..
For more info and tips, I love this page put together by RedEye; The Chicago procrastinator’s guide to votingÂ
Happy voting!! xo

Toby Maguire, Andrew Garfield and now Tom Holland is pulling up his tights as Spider-Man. Third time’s the charm, right? We get our first look at the new, new, new Spidey in the latest trailer for Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War.” It’s out May, 6th. Don’t worry. They have stand-alone Spider-Man movies planned too, so we will again see how he is bitten by a spider, pines over a girl and becomes a superhero.
