I have posted some details about this show earlier (under the posting "FIRST EXCURSION"). Do check that out when you have a minute.
The Dave Rempis Percussion Quartet will be playing Elastic, at 2830 Milwaukee Ave., on Thursday, September 20th, at 10:00pm. They will be playing two sets, so the music will likely go until midnight or so (although you should feel free to leave at any time).
As I hope I explained at the orientation, you are responsible for getting yourself to the show. Elastic is without doubt the most difficult venue to get to of those we'll be visiting this year, so this show ought to weed out the weak souls. The easiest means of public transport involves taking the CTA's blue line to the Logan Sqaure stop, then proceeding northwest on Milwaukee Avenue for a few blocks until you see the Friendship Chinese restaurant on the left side of the street. I'll be milling around outside as innocuously as possible so you'll know when you've arrived. Not knowing where everyone lives, I will point you to the CTA's Trip Planner website, which occasionally will provide you with the best route to your destination. (I found the trip planner indispensable in my first year or two in Chicago, although I should say that at that time the CTA was much more efficient than it has been in the past year or two.)
Please RSVP only if you plan to attend. Don't feel any pressure to hit this show, as I don't anticipate a huge turnout this early in the year. As I mentioned to some of you, this concert is sort-of a test run for future engagements.

I will try to make it down. I will probably be driving.
thanks, russell. i don't own a car, but i believe that on-street parking is relatively plentiful on that stretch of milwaukee. if you're up there and you run into any problems call my cell: 847.644.9315.
So the other day your email showed up in my inbox, and I thought, "Hmm, that's interesting. What could this be?" It turns out that unbeknownst to me, my friend signed me up for your mailing list, and it's a good thing she did because this looks awesome. You haven't met me, but if there are no objections I'll be coming down.
I'll be there, though I'll be taking the CTA like a destitute student.
d. grady and christ, you are both welcome.
um, of course?
