Our evening photo break:
If you’ve ever said “form follows function” then you’ve been quoting 19th c. architect Louis Sullivan. He was known for his intricate ornamentation that channeled the power and humble beauty of the seed germ.
"It is the pervading law of all things organic and inorganic, of all things physical and metaphysical, of all things human and all things superhuman, of all true manifestations of the head, of the heart, of the soul, that the life is recognizable in its expression, that form ever follows function. This is the law.”
These are the gates to the Getty Tomb that he designed for a mausoleum in Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery.

Looking forward to fall—the perfect time of year to tour some of Chicago's historic cemeteries.
Today, NPR's Fresh Air takes note of some gorgeous gates at Graceland Cemetery (shown above).

Chicago by way of Pinterest
With a heat advisory in effect, there's no sense going outside. Instead, let's explore Chicago through Pinterest!
Drunk History started out as a bit of world wide web silliness, but now that it’s on Comedy Central, it’s getting downright educational. At least, this drunk comedian seems to know an awful lot about the Haymarket Riot!

Hello, pretty lady! (dry cleaner on Pulaski at Belle Plaine)
This Friday & Saturday: Jeff Garlin at the Music Box
Join Jeff Garlin at the premiere of his new film for the low, low price of $12. (That's the price of a regular old movie ticket these days!)
Or hear him discuss the improvised movie without leaving the comfort of home. In this extended interview with Phil Ponce, Garlin talks about Second City, his recent arrest, and how weird grown-ups are.
SPOTLIGHT: Manny the Celebrity Dog
This French bulldog lives in the West Loop, likes to sleep in the sink, and has more than a quarter million followers on Instagram. We're guessing he also has a walk-in doggie closet for all of his awesome threads.
Chicago in 1949, as seen by Stanley Kubrick
Lomography.com rounded up these great photos that a young Kubrick took for Look magazine.
If you'd rather just see some cat pics, they've got those too!
Spotted! YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL

Upcoming Literary Events in Chicago
The newly launched Chicago Book Review celebrates the city's bustling publishing scene. And sure enough, we have lots of literary events on the horizon:
Friday 6/28/13 though Monday 7/1/13
Thousands of librarians will descend on McCormick Place for the American Library Association's Annual Conference. The conference will cost non-members $150 per day, but for just $35 you can explore the sure-to-be-overwhelming exhibit hall all weekend.
Friday night 6/28/13
Ever wish you were a librarian with the wardrobe of Joan from Mad Men? Here's your chance to live the dream! Read/Write Library Chicago (formerly Chicago Underground Library) will be hosting a dance party fundraiser from 10pm to 1am. Prizes are promised to the best '60s/soul/mod librarian.
Sunday 7/7/13
From 12:30pm to 5pm, Curbside Splendor hosts a pop-up book fair at the Empty Bottle. It's free if you RSVP; otherwise it's $5 at the door. Meanwhile....
From 2pm to 5pm, Graze magazine hosts Print to the Future, a panel discussion of the fate of print publishing. The discussion will be moderated by Alison Cuddy of WBEZ.
Croissant + Donut = Cronut
This pastry fad is spreading faster than buttercream frosting on a hot cupcake! But do they really taste that great? We wouldn't mind finding out...you know, for science.
The Chicagoan, published during the 1920s and '30s, had some fabulous artwork. And it's all online!
SPOTLIGHT: Facets Multi-Media
Summer officially begins today, and you know what that means: your local movie theater is about to be overrun by monsters, superheroes, and maybe even aliens.
But if 3-D action movies aren't your thing, don't despair—Chicago's own Facets Multi-Media screens off-the-radar independent and international films all year round.
Facets also offers film classes, a Netflix-style DVD rental service (with rare, out-of-print, and hard-to-find titles), and the annual Chicago International Children's Film Festival. You might even spot a few monsters!
