What's up Chicago

[clifford_thornton]

Hey -- going to Chicago this weekend out of boredom and escapism (won't go into either topic right now), and apart from the usual museums, bars, and record stores (probably will be selling more this time), is there anything going on this weekend that I should be aware of? Anything out of the ordinary? Any good, cheap shows? You Chi-towners should be up on these things.

Thanks!

Where's the Terra Museum? Man Ray is an interesting character.

I'm going to try to avoid the record stores this time... I got sick of DG and JRM while living there.

The Terra is on Michigan Avenue (follow the smell of Garrett's Carmelcorn ), a little north of Erie!

I entered this thread to suggest this show. I'm going to try to make it. Tony Malaby is the shit. I didn't know that Angelica Sanchez is his wife....
