Humpday Diversion: Colt 45 Works Every Time

So we're hearing there's something called Lollapalooza this weekend...and with a goofy name like that it's hard to imagine anything like that ever being successful. That's why we're getting our Stormtrooper gear all shined up to head out to the Chicago Comic Con this weekend in Rosemont. The usual gaggle of ex-wrestlers, comic book artists and sci-fi D-listers are going to be out there, of course, but when we found out about one particular guest we immediately started researching our favorite TESB/ROJ lines.

Billy Dee mother-effing Williams will be in the Chicagoland area this weekend, so if you happen to be at this Lollawhatever and feel compelled to head to the near northwest, now you know why. We could commemorate the event with some of Mr. Williams' more notable work as space-pimp Lando Calrissian or as Harvey Dent in the 1989 Batman, but instead we're digging deep into the BDW oeuvre and celebrating his shilling for malt liquor kings Colt 45.

Not to get you too excited or anything, but Gary Coleman and Todd Bridges are gonna be there too. Better get rid of those Lolla tickets before everyone else floods craigslist with 'em, cuz ain't noone gonna choose some concert in a park over this lineup. No way, no how.
