(sent on 2011-06-16)

I am sixteen, going on seventeen...

THIS SUNDAY @ “6 CORNERS BBQ FEST” (4:30 PM - IRVING PARK, MILWAUKEE & CICERO)
After months of refusing to leave the winter weather behind, Chicago finally seems ready to kick off the summer festival season! Needless to say, so are we. And for the first time this year, the Portage Park neighborhood finally has a fest to call its own. Also - for reasons we may never fully understand - they’ve decided that Canasta should be on-hand to help get things started off right. So let’s do this...

This Sunday, 6/19
@ Irving Park Rd., Milwaukee Ave. & Cicero Ave. (Chicago, IL)
“6 Corners BBQ Fest”
w/ Funkadesi, The Opposition Party, Drop Steady
Gates - Noon / Canasta - 4:30 PM / $6 Donation / All Ages
Benefits the Six Corners Association

THIS SATURDAY: EXTRAS NEEDED FOR “MEXICO CITY” VIDEO SHOOT (PART 2 OF 2)
Part one of our “Mexico City” video shoot was a site to behold; we’re talking grips and gaffers, stylists and mask-makers, lens and dolly rentals, call sheets and parking permits, etc. This should turn out to be an amazing 4 min. and 34 sec. of film. So if you’ve got some free time tomorrow (11 AM - 1:30 PM, more specifically), we’re shooting the second half of the video at the historic Biograph / Victory Gardens Theater and could really use your help as an extra. The scenes we’ll be shooting take place at a play, so interested parties would need to dress as though attending a night out at the theater (nice casual, semi-formal). Please get in touch if you’d like to get involved!
