Lollapalooza’s over, and now the city as a whole collapses into a post-Lolla nap. For the whole week. I mean, really. Is it just me, or is there really very little of note going on this week? Monday, August 8 My Brightest Diamond with Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestras; Millennium Park. 6:30 pm, free Robbie Fulks, […]

I’ll be at Lincoln Hall to catch the Old 97’s tonight. They’re one of those bands who I always seem to miss when they come into town. No more! And while I probably won’t be able to make it, everyone else should go to the Timber Timbre/Marissa Nadler show on Thursday. I don’t know much […]

The rain is threatening to keep me out of Millennium Park tonight, no matter how badly I want to see Low and Glen Hansard. But a three day weekend means that I might be hitting up all sorts of shows. Maybe. I’ve got my eye on you, weather. Monday, June 27 Low, Glen Hansard; Millennium […]
