Chronic Complainers to Unite in Harmony

09-22-07_Complaint_Choir.jpgFor all you Chicagoist fans who love to bitch--whether it’s about the CTA, Macy’s, Comments by Guest #2, or a typo right here on Chicagoist--we’ve found a new forum for you: The Complaints Choir of Chicago. Artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen will work with local musician Jeremy Jacobsen to create the first choir of complainers in the Midwest.

No singing experience is needed, just a good gripe. The choir will meet during five workshops in October. The grand premiere of the Complaints Choir will be November 3 at the MCA, as part of the Humanities Festival.

Chronic complainers are encouraged to send their complaints to complaintschoir@yahoo.com, and all complaints, from daily irritations to global nuisances, will be stitch together with all participants during the workshops.

Wonder what a complaint choir sounds like? Check out other cities'.

Tim,

This is GREAT! You always know about all the best stuff!

I know more than a few people I will recommend for this choir.

I prefer to simply bitch in the comments, but thanks anyway, Tim.

Wow, a free-speech zone for Chicagoist. Karl Rove will be pleased. Why not make the default text for complaints, #FFFFFF, while you're at it?

I loved the videos.
For the sake of complaining, the link doesn't function properly I had to do the work of removing the " at the end of the url before it actually redirected me to the page.
haha

Stupid Complaints Choir, I hate them so much. Shakes fist at sky

To the coordinators of this event (and to Chicagoist.com for advertising it) thank you so much for providing yet another forum where the spoiled and privileged can stamp their well-soled feet.


Can anyone tell me where that amazing picture of the sun rising over the city can be found?
