Madeline Nusser of Time Out Chicago had some nice things to say about us and our friends at Logan Hardware and Bucket O' Blood! Read Madelines "Record Store Renaissance" article for Time Out here! Madeline really seems to get what we've got going on here at saki, and we appreciate it. If you want to appreciate it too, you should come out for our saki After Hours: Predictive Gaming for Substandard Films event on Friday! The game starts at 8 and it's FREE. We'll supply the popcorn and the prizes, you just get to have fun and bring whatever libations you prefer... see you then!

Our little toddler of a record store was featured in a recent Time Out Chicago bit about record shops "off the beaten path." Those of you who've visited us know our path isn't really all that unbeaten. We'll have our Disney-style tramway up and running soon, but until then, please continue beating the hell out of our path. Thanks!
