Friar Tuck's

Friar Tuck's Friar Tuck’s is a great little neighborhood bar in Lakeview. Before the Dominick’s grocery store next to it burnt down I used to stop in here all the time on the way home from shopping to catch some funny karaoke night shenanigans or to hear, The Brother’s K, a live band on Monday nights...

4Taste Last Monday night I got a double dose of excitement and fine cuisine at the lovely and luxurious restaurant nightclub 4Taste located at 100 E Walton.

Trainwreck ~ Play that funky music white boy
Written by Roger Reis

There is nothing like hanging out with friends at a local night club while a good band is playing live. The music goes through to your soul and sets the tone for the evening. It can be an amazing time as the soundtrack is unveiled by the group on stage. Within the band Trainwreck it is a guaranteed good time for all. The name of this group is Trainwreck, but they don’t sound like a big group of metal cars crashing into each other. It is just a name. These guys know how to set the mood for a party…

AC/DC cover band TNT Chicago ~ If you want blood? YOU GOT IT!!
Written by Roger Reis

AC/DC has long been one of the greatest rock bands to ever exist. They have inspired so many for forty years to play kick ass rock music. Some of them got it right like the AC/DC cover band TNT Chicago. These guys without a doubt know how to rock a house just like the boys from down under. On a day that most regular people wouldn’t venture out, TNT Chicago took the stage at Penny Road Pub and tore the place up. The snow that hit Chicago caused quite a few fans and even one of the guitarists to miss…

A digital, moral warning in “dark play, or stories for boys”
Written by Zach Zimmerman

A thin, pale boy sits in his boxers at the foot of a small, twin bed when you enter the third floor of the Flat Irons Building. He’ll be the narrator and key figure in the 90-minute story of technology, morality, and obsession. It’s a frightening tale of internet manipulation that almost ends fatally, but what is most frightening is that the story is true. Inspired by the 2004 Vanity Fair article, “U Want Me 2 Kill Him,” Carlos Murillo has penned a morality tale of how young neurosis and technology can collide to create a digital world as…

Bulls Continue to Roll Despite Injuries, Trounce Nets 110-95
Written by Shawn Foss

While most of the NBA’s teams have been dealing with a rash of injuries due to the condensed schedule, no one in the league is thriving despite the injuries quite like the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have only had their starting lineup intact for 5 of their first 19 games, and yet they are off to a league best 16-3 start. The good times kept rolling on Monday night, as the Bulls dominated the New Jersey Nets from start to finish on their way to a 110-95 victory at the United Center. Luol Deng and Taj Gibson both sat…

The 20 things I learned at the 2012 Cubs Convention
Written by Mike Kincaide

This 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…
