The 20 things I learned at the 2012 Cubs Convention
Written by Mike KincaideThis article really should consist of two sentences: The main thing I learned from the Cubs Convention is that Ernie Banks owes me $11. That is all. Actually I learned a little more than that, but that's probably the most important one, but we'll get to that story later. The 27th annual Cubs Convention may have lacked the star-power of years past but you'd have never noticed with all the excitment Theo and his team brought to the Hilton. So for those who may have sat this one out I'll give you a recap of what a convention veteran like…Written on Saturday, 21 January 2012 06:09 in Chicago Cubs / Sox / MLB Be the first to comment! -

Mr. Rickey Calls a Meeting Intrigues from Beginning to End
Written by Roger Reis
On April 9th, 1947, a meeting took place that would change sports and society forever. Branch Rickey, the General Manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, is about to break the color barrier by calling up Jackie Robinson, who would be the Major League’s first black player and he is looking for support. The play takes place in a single hotel room where Mr. Rickey hosts renowned boxer Joe Louis, actor/activist Paul Robeson, entertainer Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and Jackie Robinson himself. As the meeting progresses, the often heated debate to support the move to African American communities by the three influential… Written on Wednesday, 18 January 2012 00:00 in Theatre Reviews Be the first to comment! -
Sin After Sin ~ Metal Gods!!
Written by Roger Reis
Huge rock bands like Judas Priest are imitated all the time. Cover bands climb out of the woodwork to put together bad versions of the works of art by this iconic band. Some of them are just horrible, but others are quite amazing. Within the band Sin After Sin are five talented musicians that if you close your eyes, you think you are actually listening to Judas Priest themselves. On a freezing cold January night, Sin After Sin took the stage around 10:00 P.M. at Bobby McGee’s (10139 S. Harlem in Chicago Ridge, Illinois). This group of professional musicians… Written on Tuesday, 17 January 2012 18:38 in In Concert Be the first to comment! -
“Come Fly Away”, Romance Gets It’s Sexy Back
Written by Kimberly Katz
I was completely under the spell of this dazzling, tribute to romance and the magical vocal stylings of Frank Sinatra by Twyla Tharp in “Come Fly Away”, performed at the Bank of America Theatre. Twyla Tharp’s 15 amazing dancers bring to life the stories of four couples falling in and out of love with tremendous style and some of the best choreography performed by some of the best dancers I have seen on the stage in a long time. If you are a huge Sinatra fan like myself, get ready to get drunk with pleasure and fully satisfied on… Written on Tuesday, 17 January 2012 18:28 in Theatre Reviews Be the first to comment! -
A Poppy, Rappy Slice of Life "In the Heights"
Written by Zach ZimmermanIn the Heights, winner of the 2008 Tony for Best Musical, follows three generations in the primarily Puerto Rican neighborhood of Washington Heights as they deal with issues of class, race, and assimilation. It’s also really good. Penned by musician and lyricist Lin-Manuel Miranda (who played the bodega-owner/narrator in the original Broadway production), In the Heights is a poppy, rappy, collection of songs filled with a carnival energy and carnal emotionality that resonate regardless of race. While some jokes might be missed by EOL spectators (English as Only Language), the struggles of making it and what to make of it are universal Usnavi, named after…Written on Monday, 16 January 2012 21:29 in Theatre Reviews Be the first to comment!
