I heard that someone hacked into their website and crashed it. They re-built it in like 3 hours...

stpete, I think this is an ominous sign of things to come. I'll probably give it a walkthrough on my way home from work, but otherwise I'm staying far away.

should we be worried that going to looptopia.com brings up an error message that says their account has been suspended and they should contact the billing dept.?

Looptopia - the biggest, gayest party this side of the pride parade and any old day at Wrigley Field.

(Yawn) If not for the awesomeness that was TJ and Dave last year, this would have blown. I think I'll sit this year out.

-- i know *i've* learned from my mistakes. as much as the scooter was handy to get around the loop, i have no intention of busting my knee open again. that, and i'll be seeing the lemonheads tonight.

Chicago J - "They remind of a band that would be playing on a pirate ship outside of New Orleans in the 1920s." Ok, fine, I'll ask: what the hell does that mean?

Tangleweed are not your average bluegrass band, the're frickin' amazing. They remind of a band that would be playing on a pirate ship outside of New Orleans in the 1920s.

@jenniferexacto According to the woman at the Chicago Loop Alliance I spoke with, yes. Rain or Shine. She said most of the outdoor venues have canopies so they would go on unless "it's storming really bad." And, of course, all indoor events will go on.
