CTRL-ALT-ROCK v2.0 Is Tonight!

February 8th, 2007 · No Comments

2007_02_2offcar.jpgOriginally published by Tankboy on Chicagoist.

Oh wow. This is going to be so much fun. The first CTRL-ALT-ROCK was a huge success so version 2 had to be bigger and better, naturally. But we think we’ve outdone ourselves. Chicagoist has profiled all four of the bands performing, to bring you up to speed:

The Reptoids
The Ladies And Gentlemen
Farewell Captain
The Passerines

We’ll be giving away lots of Chicagoist swag, we’ve lined up a killer beer special, and early birds will get the extra bonus of free booze while it lasts, so make sure you get there right when the doors open at 8:00pm!

We’ll also have giveaways from local bands whose shows Chicagoist is co-sponsoring in the near future. Sounds before, after, and between the bands will be provided by DJ Tankboy and a couple of the other Chicagoist writers flexing their DJ skills. Or at least their talents at solid song selection. Please be kind to them.

On top of it all? Print out the flier to the right for two bucks off admission!

We’ll see you there.

The Birthday Boy :: Pontiac, Wicker Park, Chicago

Last night a bunch of us from Chicagoist met up for happy hour at Pontiac. It was time for our monthly get-together, plus Tankboy was having his birthday party at Pontiac.

Scott had issue with the way “bootie” was spelled on the menu. James, can we get a ruling here? After I ordered it and Margaret and Erin had a taste, they said they really enjoyed my Juicy Bootie.

When Chicagoist has and event we’re always happy to get a band lined up and some drink specials.. but Tankboy.. he’s a badass mofo. He shows up to his own party late, has $3 Bud Lights and $3 Makers Mark for everyone there, and gets 3 bands to play.

I was getting tired and thinking about going to work in the morning because I’m getting old and not fun, so I left at 10:30 before any bands had even started yet. Still, it was fun to see everyone. Also, TB, just so you know, all the girls were talking about how jealous we are of your lucious goldilocks.

Tankboy used to DJ at innjoy but told us recently that he’ll be at Pontiac now. On the way to Double Door, Erin and I saw a sign at Pontiac promoting this so I had to stop to take a photo.

Last night Jim (Tankboy) DJed at innjoy so a few of us went over to check it out. I willingly danced to a bunch of songs – not sure if that’s an indication of his skills or a testament to how many drinks I had.
