Hi, hi! It’s me. . . Again! We are deep in the trenches of a fierce Chicago winter, yet two things remain the same. . . The first being that it is cold as hell (however that works). The second is that there are some sickening events coming up here in Chicago. Remember to keep your ear to the ground (your eyes on this newsletter) and you’ll always know exactly where to go!

Some of the upcoming events include Patti LuPone, Matters of the Heart at The Auditorium this Saturday! Don’t miss the chance to see the legend in action and enter our giveaway!
