Hideout 5/17/08: Alt Media Slam #2 (and show)

Seriously. Slams were thrown, Lita Ford interviewed losers, farts were played while a columnist read her work, Tim Smithe cut a ribbon, a jug band played from their latest album in the lobby, Ed Bus even stopped by to tell us why they repealed the foie gras rule. It was like urban LA [...]

Red Line Tap 5/3/08: 1998 Flashback!

The show on Saturday up at the Red Line Tap was a kick-ass return to Rogers Park! Not only did we return to 1998 in style (can anyone say Missy Elliott remix of Heartbreaker?!) – but the true magic wasn’t just on stage… It was in the AUDIENCE. Laughs and PBR, always a [...]

Steppenwolf 4/15/08: Schad & KevINda
Schadenfreude and kevINda solved racism. It was a magical night at the Steppenwolf Upstairs Theatre.

Here are some great shots from the evening – shot [...]

CES Brings Goodies – Like Storybooks Telling Us Where Servers Come From
Right now the Consumer Electronics Show is going on in Las Vegas. What does this mean? It means that not only do we get to see all sorts of awesome new gadgets that we won’t be able to afford for another 10 years, but it’s cool to see anyway.
One of my favorite items to come out of CES this year is this children’s storybook. It’s come from our friends at Microsoft. Check out the gallery:
Good Morning.
Our good friend and official CIF photographer Johnny Knight took a bunch of great shots from our cover set on Sunday night. Enjoy.
CIF Cover Set – The Photos!
The hangover is finally subsiding. And really, there’s only one thought we have right now: We gotz to get these photos up! In the words of our good friend Dave:
It was definitely a funny show. Top 10. Maybe even Top 5.
We’ve got video coming – but in the meantime, check out the Pics. Play one of our favorite games – Name All The Improvisors!

Macalester College – Here We Come!
Friday we head on out to the hinterlands known as Minnesota! We got gigs at Carleton College and Macalester. Here’s a gallery of pics from last year’s Mac show. Ok – the show pics are kinda fuzzy – but what’s important is the after-party (then afta the party, it’s the Hotel Lobby). It ain’t no party unless it’s a Schadenfreude Party.
Cats, cats, cats!
And I don’t mean the musical. Sure – StuffonMyCat gets all the praise, and sure it is cute… but how often do you find a website dedicated to cats looking like one of the most despised men in history? Check out the gallery below of the faves from CatsThatLookLikeHitler.
