SNOW LIKE WOAH.

SNOW LIKE WOAH.

We heard rumors from Dorothy's (my lady) family of abandoned cars on Lake Shore?

[frankie teardrop]

Indeed, it's a snow covered parking lot. You  had to leave your car on the LSD and they would tow it to a lot for you to go pick up today. I'm glad I had the foresight to stay away and take Halsted all the way home.

Chicago ?
He?s been getting loads of positive recognition for his tightly knit surreal collage work, so?. rocker Christoper Ilth, former member of the Functional Blackouts and Daily Void, has decided to invite some of his rowdy friends in the Midwest trash-rock scene to show with him at his second art show at Reversible Eye gallery in Humboldt Park, Tarantisimo Summit. Named after a compilation record series he started a few years ago, Tarantisimo Summit features many of the artists that are in this art show.
 
Christopher Ilth will be showing collage and assemblage pieces. Darius Hurley of Claw Toe and Criminal I.Q. records will have paintings and collages on display. Jim Weill of FNU Ronnies out of San Francisco brings collages and paintings as well. Tim Glick of TV Ghost out of Lafayette, Indiana is displaying his ink drawings, collages, and paintings. Timmy Vulgar of Detroit?s Human Eye, Timmy?s organism, and formerly of Clone Defects brings his paintings, drawings, and collages. Josh Russell, formerly of Chicago?s Birth, shows assemblage and found objects. Jason Sublette, who has been a member of Ga?an and E.T. Habit displays his drawings. Christmas Woods of Ill Tongue, ET Habit, and Mickey shows sculpture. Mac Blackout of Mickey and the Mac Blackout band shares his paintings. Alex Nova from Curtains and ET Habit has some watercolor drawings to show. Rob Karlic of the Mac Blackout band, Daily Void, and the Functional Blackouts shows paintings. Jamie ?Jimbo? Easter from Druid Perfume and formerly of the Piranhas out of Detroit shows sculpture and drawing-work and will be doing a performance during the event with Nai Sammon.

There's an authentic phonebooth (with huge city-wide phonebook) inside Odge's Hot Dogs just south of the corner of Chicago Ave & Damen, less than 100 yards from Permanent!

yo.  looking for a phone booth in the chicagoland area.  Not the London style booth that's red but rather the authentic American phone booth with four walls that superman used.

Anyone know of one?  Will travel far for known phone booth.  Thanks.

I'll be in Chicago from May 17th through the 20th.  Any leads on shows/venues/bars that pour strong drinks?  Any shows that might be happening on Friday, the 18th, would be great.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

The Hozac Blackout is happening from the 18th to the 20th
