Comic Book Academia @ Challengers Comics
The Chicago Nerd Social Club presents Comic Book Academia, a discussion by Loyola doctoral candidate Cord Scott about the comic's place in the academic world. The talk happens tonight at Challengers Comics (1845 N. Western) from 7pm to 9pm. The event is free, but you need to RSVP at the Chicago Nerds Website.
Improvised Electro-Acoustic Concert @ U of C
Tonight at 8pm the University of Chicago hosts this electro-acoustic concert of improvised music, inspired by space, place, and energy. The combined credits for the three musicians playing reads like a who's who in experimental music, both home and abroad. Moments of combustion. Moments of meditation. Their work can revolve around a gestural dynamic one minute and a serendipitous serenity the next. This concert will take place in Bond Chapel, 1050 East 59th Street (directly east of Cobb Hall). Admission is free.
Chicago Chef Week Begins
Chicago Chef Week is a prix fixe promotion at a juicy list of local places (Boka, Spring, Province, etc.): diners will be treated to $20 lunch and $30 dinner specials. No complaints here. Event starts today and runs through March 28.
