Chicago: The city for shitty musical acts

Who shit in your corn flakes?

if chicago's overflowing with all them concerts, ya'll can always pass a few of 'em along towards mpls. we don't mind.

Stymie said:

all of these people. they suck big nuts.

2Jay said:

Okay. Bye.

Stymie said:

i have good luck if i go straight to the venue. whenever there was a show at the metro or the vic, i would always go straight to the box office and never have to pay more than a buck for service charges (if that). but yeah, ticketbastard box office outlets are no better than buying from them online. what a racket.

i didn't know debbie downer had a brother.

I'm going to go see Autechre at the Abbey tomorrow.

i hear that Meshell show is free! Better get there early!

Saul is sold out.

AND i really can't believe i don't have to drive down to Chitown to see Kraftwerk because they're coming here!

I'm still looking for Saul tickets and Meshell is doing two shows: one free, one paid and I'm going to both.

When is Kraftwerk coming?

That's only an hour and a half away.

Stymie said:

kraftwerk is coming to mpls and i can't go.

Anxiety said:

Why not?

Stymie said:

unfortunately, working nights means i have to be VERY selective with my PTO, and i already have some vacations scheduled between now and august. plus, they're playing at a really shitty venue and it would take a LOT for me to go back to see a show there. just too many negative factors, unfortunately.

Anxiety said:

You get to see me in a week.

Anxiety said:

same here. i wish we could go so we could tag along with each other to the show!

Anxiety said:

LAMEST EXCUSE EVER!

Ivy, don't ever move to NYC. We got it twice as bad because everyone and their moms plays here. Last year I had three shows I wanted to see all on the same goddamn day.

magnificentsynthesizer said:

if you've ever been to the myth nightclub, you'd find my excuse at least 10% less lame.

Stymie said:

better than kraftwerk!

Anxiety said:

Oh hell no, I could never work nights if it meant missing shows. That's the only time I get out of the house!

sextonseven said:

Damn Paris.

Who did you end up seeing?

sextonseven said:

yeah, i would thought this to be the case. the last time i was out there must've been bad timing. i was there for 2 freakin weeks and not 1 act i wanted to see played while i was there.

There was a silly rumor YEARS ago the members of Kraftwerk were dead.

magnificentsynthesizer said:

And you musta thought "Choas and Disoder" was really, truly special.

Stymie said:

The wrong act.

I bought a ticket for The Raveonettes/Nicole Atkins because I really like both of those artists. Then there was a Donnas show announced for the same night so I gave my Raveonettes ticket to a co-worker and bought a ticket to the Donnas show since I hadn't seen them in years while I had seen both The Raveonettes and Nicole Atkins a few months earlier. Then PJ Harvey announced a show for that same night! I had already given away one ticket so I missed the PJ show and saw The Donnas. The Donnas show was good, but I'm sure the PJ show was better.

I have done two shows at separate venues in one night before. The adrenaline surge I feel racing to the second show after the first one ends is great.

They can't help but to play in the greatest city in the world!!!

magnificentsynthesizer said:

Bad timing indeed. I'm already missing Duffy and Van Hunt in the next month because I have other shows booked on the nights they are playing.

Tonight is Gnarls Barkley/Santogold.
