The Chicago Independent Radio Project is working to secure a broadcast license for a new community radio station in Chicago that is committed to local, independent programming, and generally furthering the causes of localism, diversity, and independence in broadcasting. We are working to convince Congress and the FCC to remove existing barriers to the granting of low power FM radio licenses in urban areas, including Chicago. We hope you'll join the fight.
Oh, stop. Those skinny jeans still look great on you. Really! Staying in will only make it worse, you know.
Please allow one of our suggestions to be your excuse to get outside this week.
There are so many ways to say “thank you,” and we at CHIRP are sincerely grateful for your support and interest. Firm believers in good karma, we’ve planned out your week for you. There’s more than one path, though — think of it as a Choose Your Own Adventure kind of thing. Dig?
Go on, just have a look.
Really? You’re bored? How can you possibly have nothing to do when there’s so much we’ve got lined up for you?!
Read on!
While another freakish warm weather spurt doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for us, we can always find our own escape routes. It ain’t denial; it’s just that music venues get pretty cozy real quick. Doesn’t that sound nice?
One of the following choices for this week should do the trick.
This week: VOTE OR DIE!
What, that’s not clever enough? Fine. Let these cool cats tell you aaaalllll about it. And then check out these totally rad events as you rejoice or lament over the country’s fate…
(more…)
Things are getting scary. No, I don’t mean the election, silly! I mean HALLOWEEN is upon us, duh. And that means scary music! …and, apparently, a lot of really really good shows. Don’t be frightened. You’ll be in good company. Or will you?
Check out the ghoulish (and otherwise) goings-on for this week!
What if God was one of us? Just a slob like one of us… tryin’ to make his way home…
Hey man, this might be the only chance you’ll get to hear her sing it live. Unless, of course, you’d prefer to hear the worst song ever performed live. It’s all in one night and you simply cannot be in two places at once.
Decide between those and more, with the convenient list of this week’s fun activities we’ve provided for you!
But first, something to get you into the mood…
Anybody hear of any good pumpkin patches ’round town? Gotta start gearing up for the best holiday (in autumn), y’know. In the meanwhile, we’ve compiled loads of things for you to do (that don’t involve heavy lifting) this week. Read on.
Embrace the cold. Throw on that pullover, attend a musical performance (It’s easy! See below for the good ones!), then find a cute sweater-donning pal. Suggest a mutual hand-warming technique, perhaps? Ah, getting cozy, listening to great music — what more could you ask for in this weather?
Note: Take a style tip from this guy. And don’t forget our event listing for your best bets. Good luck, Casanova.
Bailout? Ugh. Just get out… of the house and to one of these fabulous shows. Please, please! — peruse! We’ve picked them especially for you.
