Media Slam Tomorrow

By Margaret Lyons in Arts & Entertainment on May 16, 2008 4:36PM

Tomorrow night at the Hideout, Chicagoist will be going up against Time Out Chicago, Gapers Block, and the Red Eye in Schadenfreude's second annual Alternative Media Slam. We're not sure how a Tribune company paper counts as "alternative," but last year's winner (cough bullshit cough) the Reader wouldn't participate this year. We'll be trading yo-mama–style rap-battle insults with the other esteemed publications...and the Red Eye. Hey-o! We're practicing already.

The show starts at 9pm and costs $10. The rounds are decided by audience vote, a la Showtime at the Apollo, and the show also includes performances from our writer Claire Zulkey, filmmaker Steve Delahoyde, DJ duo The Hood Internet, and JC Brooks and the Uptown Sound.
