    Five things to do today: December 10

    Posted in Around Town by John Dugan on December 10th, 2009 at 10:07 am

    SHOPPING & STYLE - Shoes, shopping and swapping at adidas
    Give a little and get a lot back tonight. Donate gently worn shoes for the homeless and receive 30% off a new pair of adidas. Plus, enjoy drinks, snacks, giveaways and 20% off all shopping purchases. adidas Originals, 923 N Rush St (312-932-0651). El: Red to Chicago. Bus: 2, 3, 10, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147, 151. 6–8pm.

    SHOPPING & STYLE - Puma Store Holiday Party Remix
    Play DJ Hero, eat, drink and shop while a local DJ bangs out the tunes. Shoppers enjoy a 20% discount during the party, collect coupons for future purchases and the first 100 making a purchase get a free gift. E-mail shoppingevents@puma.com to R.S.V.P. The Puma Store, Block 37, 108 N State Street. 6pm.

    AROUND TOWN - Driehaus Museum’s Seasonal Celebration
    Halls are decked, carolers are primed, and this museum is officially ready for the holidays. To bring a little cheer, Driehaus is offering hot chocolate, gingerbread cookies, live music (from people in period costume, no less), reduced admission and tours. Space is limited and advance tickets are strongly recommended. Richard H. Driehaus Museum, 40 E Erie St (312-932-8665, driehausmuseum.org). 4–7pm, $15.

    MUSIC - The Cool Kids + Bun B + Chip Tha Ripper
    Hometown hip-hop duo the Cool Kids offer up a taste of their forthcoming platter When Fish Ride Bicycles. Sharing the bill are former UGK heavy Bun B and rising Cleveland rapper Chip Tha Ripper. Reggie’s Rock Club, 8pm, $20.

    ART & DESIGN - “Apostles of Beauty: Arts and Crafts from Britain to Chicago”
    While you probably can’t afford to purchase any gorgeous designs by Christopher Dresser or William Morris, you can drool over their stuff for free tonight. Art Institute of Chicago, 111 S Michigan Ave. 5–8pm. FREE.

    DANCE - Cerqua Rivera Dance Theatre’s “Jubilation”
    Appreciation of Miles Davis’ 1972 record On the Corner comes at the end of a long road in the shadow of accomplishments like Kind of Blue. “Corner Sketches: A Tribute to Miles Davis” is a dance set to music inspired by the breadth of Davis’ talent, joining a solo violin piece “Just Blues” (written for Sanford Allen who, upon joining the New York Philharmonic, was the first African-American to be accepted into a major orchestra). This matinée of music and dance is part of a series celebrating icons and pioneers in African-American history. DuSable Museum of African American History, 740 E 56th Pl (773-947-0600, dusablemuseum.org). El: Green to Garfield. Bus: 4, 55. 10:30am; $5.
