The Best Party for a Better World? The Silver Room Block Party!

July 16, 2011

The Silver Room in Chicago is one of those old-school Wicker Park businesses that's managed to not only stay in business, but really thrive over the years...why? BECAUSE THEY SELL REALLY COOL AFFORDABLE SHIT (JEWELRY/ACCESSORIES), AND HOST REALLY COOL EVENTS (and feature really cool local artists like Fantah Celah, pictured above, who sells her jewelry line there — you'll have to contact her … [Read more...] about The Best Party for a Better World?

“Western”-ers: Volume 1

June 23, 2011

I was biking down Western Avenue in Chicago — actually I was riding on the sidewalk, with my helmet on, because you want to know what? I've reported on at least three people — cyclists and pedestrians — who've been killed on Western Avenue (RIP Chris, Fran and Isai).

September 23, 2010

When I say "a gift for Gaga-ween" I don't mean a gift you should bring to a Lady Gaga and Ween collaboration, though a "Gaga-Ween" show could be rad. Maybe Dean and Gene would break out into a version of "Voodoo Lady"—"Voodoo Lady Gaga." No, the Gaga-ween gift I'm talking about is this Halloween frame I saw at Target. Since Lady Gaga calls her die-hard followers her "little monsters" I … [Read more...] about A Gift for Gaga-ween

I Never Knew Camilla Ha Rocked the Stage Until Saturday, and Now She’s Leaving

September 20, 2010

Crazy how you see some people around for years, have some drunken and sober exchanges, but it never comes up that they do really cool shit. And when you finally see it, they're leaving town. When I heard that Camilla Ha was going to have a show at Reversible Eye in Humboldt Park, I thought it would be just visual art, maybe some fashion, I knew she was a rad stylist. I didn't realize she … [Read more...] about I Never Knew Camilla Ha Rocked the Stage Until Saturday, and Now She’s Leaving
