CAF Lunch Lecture: The Rebirth of Prentice
James Peters, president of Landmarks Illinois, present a reuse study for the Bertrand Goldberg-designed Prentice Women's Hospital today from 12:15pm to 1pm at the Chicago Architecture Foundation's Lecture Hall Gallery, 224 S. Michigan Ave., as part of CAF's free lunch lecture series.
Times New Viking @ Empty Bottle
It's always peculiar to endorse a rock band by saying that their recordings pale in comparison to their performances, but the truth cannot be denied and Times New Viking is one of the best examples. Their live shows are wild, energetic, trashy, funny and bring out the best of noisy lo-fi punk. Even if their records may turn off ears, their show is a whole different creature and very worthwhile. Times New Viking headline the Empty Bottle. The show's 21+, $12 and starts at 9PM. The Empty Bottle's at 1035 N Western.
