heartbreak, i'm not holding your hand anymore.

regrets...

Let's go downtown and watch the modern kids

I just came a little in my pants.

After I dried myself off I immediately bought the top print.

The posters were designed in collaboration between Ben LaFond of Burlesque Design

and Dan Black of Landland

Find me here tonight! ... Cause I've been magnetic since I was a baby

Baby, Oh Baby! part 2

Part 2 of the 'kid friendly' wall art discussion centers around Gig Posters.

Gig posters have been around since the 60's, and now, pretty much every indie band has a growing repertoire of gig art. Some, becoming collectors items for music fanatics.

I just love the idea of using gig posters to decorate a child's room.

Here is a small collection of amazing posters.

fate is against me.

I turn, I turn left

so all the cool kids are telling me i have to get my little toosh over to the double door saturday night to see the Little Dragon show.

fine.

but not because you told me to.

it's Double Door's official 15th anniversary party. and i love the ddoor.

so there.

Some will know. But did they fucking lie?

2012, the movie, hits theaters this Friday. the 13th no doubt.

eh, i don't know. i've seen the trailers and i'm disappointed with the way they have done this movie. {at least from what i have seen}

it's too hollywood. too many close-call sequences.

eh...i mean, i'm still gonna go see it. but will i see it opening night?

{chicanery finger strumming}

do yourself a favor and just click here.

seriously.

go home, crack open my favorite college beer, La Fin du Monde, and take a listen.

see you on the other side my friends.

{i'm not kidding about fin du monde being my favorite college beer of choice. friday nights. boltini lounge. fin du monde. done and done.}

No sweeping exits. No hollywood endings.

These guys seriously make me happy when skies are grey (which, of course it is here in Chicago). And I hope they notice how much I love them.

My dearest + awesomely rad friend, Shaun, works for them, and so, I have had the privilege of seeing them on more then one occasion.

And then there was that one time that we partied like rock stars at Debonair/Hard Rock Hotel for James' birthday. {still.piecing.the.details.together.}

check them out. seriously.

Doing it on Division

Do Division Fest is this weekend.

I'm super excited to Menomena and White Rabbits. However, is it just me or is it disappointing that Do Division is not showcasing more Chicago bands? There are some really great bands on the bill, but what ever happened to Chicago street fests showcasing local talent? Whatever happened to the street fests being about Chicago?

Come on Chicago! Let's get back to the way we were.

Who's with me?

p.s. find me here all weekend.
