Folk Music Garage Sale, BYO Patchouli

By Margaret Lyons in News on Aug 13, 2004 4:55PM

2004_08_13.posey.jpgChicagoist wishes we could play the guitar. Phase one of actualizing that dream would be the purchase of a guitar, preferably on the cheap because we'll probably give it up after we realize sucking at guitar isn't sexy at all. At all. But now's our chance to snatch up folky instruments at a folky price: the Old Town School of Folk Music is having its annual garage sale.

Off-rental guitars, banjos, djembes, congas and other instruments are all way marked down; cases start at $2 and sets of strings at $1. All the stuff is as-is, but that's OK because djembes look pretty sturdy. The sale starts today and runs through Sunday, 10am-4pm daily.
