Another great show, tell your pals that we kick ass. Duncan cries
inside because there are still people in town who haven't been
reached by our pithy commentary.
WHY OH WHY doesn't Tony Wight at Bodybuilder & Sportsman respond to
our e-mail? Everybody else in 119 responds; where is the love??? We
are just trying to give you some airtime--we won't be mean, honest.
Wendy Cooper writes back, c'mon buddy.
THIS WEEK:
We visit Barbara Koenen at her lovely home and discuss resources
available for artists in the City of Chicago. Barbara is in charge
of the utterly bad-assed Chicago Artists Resource website, which
shines the light of knowledge into the dark pit of confusion for us
local types. If you don't already participate, sign up now!
Chicago Artists
Resource website, GO NOW!!!
ALSO: Duncan and Richard shut the hell up (leave the room even) so
that Amanda and Shannon can review the new show at 40000
