Rabble Rabble 7" Release Show

This time next week you should be planning on going to the Empty Bottle to help our friends Rabble Rabble celebrate the release of their new 7"!

To sweeten the deal We Are Hex and Distractions will also be playing. if that wasn't enough, you will also be able to visit the saki-sponsored photo booth! Get your photo taken in front of a giant screen-printed backdrop of Rabble Rabble's 7" cover art, which is pretty freakin' sweet. Oh, and did we mention that the show is free?!? Well, it is!

We're gonna have a real cool time, so mark your calendars, RSVP, and we'll see you there.

Chicago Mixtape

One of the cooler ideas for promoting local music that I've come across recently is Chicago Mixtape. It's pretty simple, and very cool. Just enter your e-mail and you'll get weekly digital mixtapes in your inbox from local Chicago artists. If you sign up before midnight tonight, you'll also get their bonus starter mix. The official launch for Chicago Mixtape is tomorrow. Check it out!

and in local news...really???

thought you'd all enjoy a conversation I had last night with my local beat cop, Jerry, on my way home last night.
"hey Jerry, how's things?"
"good, we're on a bit of a bike caper right now."
"oh yeah? someone had their bike stolen? that sucks."
"yes, down on Fullerton & Western. We're on our way to Fullerton & Cicero now. The thief put it on Craig's List so we're going to buy it from him!"
REALLY?!?!? see, good schooling DOES help sometimes....
