Media Slam Tomorrow
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.

I remember doing things like this in 5th grade "you'r moms so fat...", man that was fun. Then I turned 12 and realized how immature it all was.
But, who am I to criticize a put down festival.
Come on Mepps,
get real! Yo Momma told you it was "immature" to try to get you back into school after ya boy Spook talked about yo Momma so bad that six weeks later( after you stopped crying )you refused to ever go back to school, wondering why you still slinging burgers at Mickey Ds!

The way to win this war is by a first strike option against the Red Eye, using Intercontinental Ballistic Spookuclear Missiles or “ ICBSMs” Please find three from my arsenal/stockpile
“Yo daddy be so stupid he reads the Red Eye daily cause she wants to be.... well informed!” (note; after laugher dies down say) “ and he wonders why America is soooo backwards!
(after laughter dies down say)
"You Mom’s be broke she thought the free Red Eye was her government economic stimulus and she wonders why she be so stupid broke all the time!
"You so stupid that as the editor of the Red Eye when you got Pink Eye, you wrote a front page article claiming it as a sign of brilliant journalistic ability!
when you win Chicagoist owes me a six pack of stout!
Buy your own, spook.
Or come out and root for the home team.
Good luck, Chicagoist. If the Redeye's insults suck as much as their paper, you'll be all set.
Spook can't come root for the home team, his mom wants him to do laundry. And besides, he's not allowed to stay out that late.
Chucy its called “ADVANCED NOTICE”!
Chicagoist, should check into that concept, because that sh*t would have been fun!
But ya boy Spook has a date tonight that might possibly be the "date of the summer", which means I anticipate a 2nd date later tomorrow night with the very same "Hawwwate" women if, if, and only If I can hold my tongue and be charming for about three hours straight!. Of course I could be making all this up. Perhaps I really doooo have to do laundry and I'm not allowed to stay out that late!
Ohhh snap, Xlprg, You got me and I'm not use to being “got”! But in the immortal words of Tupac " F*ck the judge I got a grudge!"
I will have my revenge!
But until then Happy Friiiiiday B*tches!
Wish me luck!
I can see how holding your tongue and being charming for three hours might be a problem for you, spook. You'll need the luck.
Ya Heard?
The RedEye is so jacked...
my paper shredder needs to douche after every issue.
