Second City’s 5th Annual 24hr Improv Benefit

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

A good friend is involved in this and asked me to help spread the word.

From the page on the Second City site:

For the fifth straight year, a group of current performers and alumni of The Second City take to the stage for an entire 24 hour period to benefit children and families in the Chicagoland area during the holiday season. Improvised scenes, songs and games are performed by the ensemble, only taking breaks when a variety of top musical acts drop by to perform and inspire the cast and audience.

As a special treat this year, Second City and Saturday Night Live alum Horatio Sanz will be flying in from New York to join the cast!

Scheduled musical acts for “The Second City That Never Sleeps: Letters to Santa” include Jeff Tweedy, Robbie Fulks, Shellac, Sally Timms, Jon Langford, The Blisters, Jason Molina and many more.

Go here for the schedule and times.

!OUCHO!fest fotos up!

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

!OUCHO! that hurtsHey kids. OuchoFestFotos are now online. GO see the mess we created. The band list is too large to list here (ok, I am just to lazy) - Visit the !OUCHO!fest page for more general info on the festivities.

And in case you missed it, we are looking to put together a compilation CD of one track per artist of the night. This is an endeavor we mean to do each year, but I think this time its for real.

…AYWKUBTTOD on Halloween

Tuesday, November 7th, 2006

Well, I was graciously invited to see the Trail of Dead at the House of Blues with Celebration, Blood Brothers and my good friends, Brothers and Sisters. Not much to report as I needed to leave early and didn’t get to see TOD. But I have seen them before (used to play poker with them in OLY,WA) and I was really there to see old cohort, James Olsen, perform with the Bros and Hos, I mean Sis’.

I do have to say that House of Blues were the biggest pain in the ass. I had to park 3 blocks away and pay $20. I had to wait in this long line to be told to go wait in another line to get my tix for the guest list. Then, I wasn’t able to bring in some shirts and CD’s I had with me to give to Olsen. Even though people were coming in with elaborate costumes (Halloween), they wouldn’t let me in with my wee bit of merch. I had to stash it on top of some shelves and James and I came out later to reclaim them. So stupid.

Anyway, Brothers and Sisters were remarkably great. Celebration were sexy and cool. Blood Brothers were pretty lame, I thought, but the kids seemed really into it. And like I said, I missed the TOD.

I did however have a taxi back up into me (my car) on Michigan Ave after the show - totally lame. Which reminds me, I need to call that insurance guy…

Les Savy Fav - Go Forth

Thursday, September 21st, 2006

I have been reading some MP3Blogs lately and I love the idea (see the sidebar for links). And when I was driving around listening to Les Savy Fav’s Go Forth, I just wanted to share it with the world. So with my first installment, I give you some of Les Savy Fav, Go Forth:

It’s hard for me to explain why I like this album so much. I can only use words like teethy and wet sand. I highly recommend headphones at all times.

Lyric Excerpt: “Who here finds this world distracting, Who here finds this world a bore… I for one am dazzled!”

EDIT: It has been brought to my attention that it is frowned upon to make available someone’s whole album. I have trimmed it down some songs, but they are so good, I could only do so much. Please dont sue me.

Remembering…
