How’s this for a New Year’s resolution: get out and do something fun this week. Here’s some of what we recommend:
Wed 1/6: Community meal project Soup & Bread returns to the Hideout (1354 W. Wabansia) to serve delicious food and raise money for Chicago food pantries and other hunger-relief organizations. 5:30 PM Thu 1/7: Celebrate David Bowie’s 69th birthday at the Bowie Ball, happening this year at Berlin (954 W. Belmont) and coinciding with the January 8 release of his new album, Blackstar. DJs Heaven Malone and Maewest provide the tunes, Ajali will be on hand to glam up your look, and those who stick around until midnight can sing their hearts out at Bowieoke. 10 PM
