Does it feel like summer is whizzing past or is it just me? 4th of July? Over. Chosen Few Old School Picnic? Did it. The taste of Chicago? Came and went. The damn Pitchfork Music Festival is already here this week and I'm barely recovering from the Dave Attell and Reggie Watts shows from over the weekend.... I know, boo-hoo - first world problems and all that. But on the real... summer is a mirage... winter is coming. Get out there and support before the snow zombies get you. So... events to be on your radar this week are: THE BRONZEVILLE SUMMER COMEDY SHOW, great line up tonight! Sponsored by Vocalo Radio and hosted by Brian Baylon, the weather is perfect so it will be outside this time around. Also note worthy is The Velvet Jones Comedy Show @ Velvet Lounge, a south loop comedy show with DJ set afterwards!? About time. Hosted by the one and only Clark Jones, who is moving to New York soon, so catch him while you can. And be sure to catch CJ SULLIVAN @ THE COMEDY BAR If you can. This guys a monster of the Chicago comedy scene and The comedy bar is a great venue to enjoy comedy, centrally located in river north for those of you planning a night on the town.
And for you Open Mic fanatics, there are some strong Thursday, Friday and Saturday (afternoon) Mics listed as well... Check out what's popping this week and beyond.
