As the last edition of The Body Politic went out with an unfortunate and unexpected fizzle, James and I are back with a bang this Thursday. Cafe Lura (3184 N Milwaukee), an impressive venue usually servicing the drum n’ bass/reggae/dubstep scene, is throwing open its doors to techno and house fans by hosting Thunderous Olympian, James Kartsaklis, Nick’d and myself from 9pm-2am. It’s only $5 and Cafe Lura is apparently famous for its huge frosty mugs of Polish beer. Hope to see you there.
rock on fellas! what I would do to be there.
thanks, gillsans. it was a good time: a few friends and strangers turned out; thunderous olympian was a cool guy who threw down a very tite set and – contrary to what we’d been led to believe – not visiting but actually a transplant to our fare city; the venue was essentially a dungeon, and we’ve been invited back, so that’s exciting.
i think i can speak for steve and i both in saying that i don’t think it could ever top a party on vancouver isle, though 😉
