Chicago Gets Googled
Friday Flashback - Old School Oprah
Today's Transgender Day of Remembrance Honors the Dead
Any event that advertises "gay boys in cheerleading outfits" and "Underwear for Sale! Come find out if its new or used!" quickly gets our attention. We're not exactly sure what "The Mobtown Moxie Review" is (although it's certain the Tribune would print wrong photos of it), so we'll quote from their website:
...a super-sexy collection of 20 burlesque and drag performance artists all hailing from the windy city. Produced by the Hellcat Hussies this magnificent spectacle is centered around the theme of "Fabulously Dirty Chicago" the Moxies present a show packed with strip-teasing, gender-fucking, flesh-piercing, cello-playing, cheer-leading, razzle-dazzle-ing, and just generally sexy-fun mayhem like only Chicago can deliver.
Anyway, on Sunday they'll be having an auction and art sale to raise money for their traveling queer variety show touring the Northwest this June. Besides the previously mentioned gay cheerleaders and underwear of questionable origins, you can bid on "everything from graphic design to motorcycle rides to dates with pretty girls."
The auction action starts on Sunday at 9 p.m. with a $10 cover and open bar until 10pm at Ontourage Night Club at 157 W Ontario.

you're a riot, aaron. instead of doing any investigative work, you prefer to sit back, copy & paste in your web browser, while at the same time taking pot shots at those that actually do the heavy lifting of journalism...and sure, once in a blue moon make a mistake.
ps - i think you can find art and underwear on ebay. granted it may not be of the used variety! ewww
The difference being that the Trib gets paid to produce journalism.
That being said I think I'll be doing some investigative work at this event this weekend. I'll bring Dave Savini and his blacklight along to check out the used draw's.
In case you are curious, "guy" is coming from inside his paid job at the Tribune (according to his IP address). Despite Sam's post yesterday about the Mobster screw-ups, Chicagoist generally loves our pals at the Tribune (hi Mr. Zorn!). The few of us could never produce an exhaustive Chicago paper, but we can point to interesting and sometimes odd things going on around town, like The Mobtown Moxie Review.
P.S. Mr. Smith, look for me on Sunday night. I'll be dressed as a guy dressed as a girl dressed as Frank Calabrese.
I've managed to save up roughly $64166 in my bank account, but I'm not sure if I should buy a house or not. Do you think the market is stable or do you think that home prices will decrease by a lot?
Have you seen this before? It's a number guessing game: http://www.amblesideprimary.com/ambleweb/mentalmaths/guessthenumber.html. I guessed 36355, and it got it right! Pretty neat.
