omg i just found out about this & i'm so down for this! robert townsend is literally a chicago legend 
been hearing about him since i was a kid growing up in the west side, and now that he's bringing his talents back to the city, it's gonna be epic! 
love how passionate he is about telling great stories & supporting local initiatives, too 
gotta see more of these pop-up festivals happening around chicago

I'm not sure about this whole 'pop-up' thing... Sounds like just an excuse for celebrities to flit around the city, showing off their brand, while leaving behind actual substance. What's the real purpose of hosting these events? Is it just a way to raise awareness and cash, or is there genuinely something being done to support local initiatives?
