CHICAGO — The weather has been weird this summer, but the chill of July has nothing on what's to come in a few months. ::sobs:: Go outside, will ya?
1. Turn It Up to Eleven: "Spinal Tap" is screening in Millennium Park tonight. You should probably go see the film the late Roger Ebert called "one of the funniest, most intelligent, most original films" of 1984. Free. Starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, 201 E. Randolph St.
2. Hang Out With Butterflies While Drinking Beer: The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum hosts "Nature on Tap" today, which allows you an adults-only exploration of the Judy Istock Butterfly Haven. There's beer for sale from local breweries. $10. Starts at 6 p.m. at the nature museum, 2430 N. Cannon Drive.
3. Go for a Run: It'll be a bit cooler than usual (again) today, so it's perfect running weather. Not a fan of flying solo? Join the Lincoln Park Pacers on the lakefront. Go for a 5-mile run and then join the group for dinner. More on joining up here. Free. Meet before 6:30 p.m. at the CARA message board on the lakefront path at Diversey.
4. See Some Shakespeare in the Park: Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" will be presented as part of the city's "Night Out in the Parks" series tonight. This version of the classic story about fairies and mismatched lovers is a little more acrobatic and family-friendly than the original. Free. Starts at 6:30 p.m. at Riis Park, 6100 W. Fullerton Ave.
5. Two-for-One Pizza: Head to Bar Ombra in Andersonville for its 2-for-1 pizza deal. The restaurant, which has a glorious patio, is offering two wood-fired pizzas for the price of one from 5 to 6 p.m. Then you'll have more money to spend on the tasty wines. 5308 N. Clark St.
