Anyone interested its for Lollapalooza

Tiffany (hee-haw's sis) is looking for people to work the beer tents. $5/hour, plus tips. the shift is for the whole day (12 hours), but you'd get a couple breaks and may be able to request times to break (so as to see a band you actually want to see). she estimated that the daily take last year was about 250/person. she expects (though, i'm skeptical) that this year the tips may double (hiring half-as-many servers and there are more tickets already sold for this year's festival compared to last year). anyway, i'm considering it...maybe matthew or some of his friends would be interested, as well...just an FYI.

Even UChicago Press Hates US

cated side by side on the northwest side are two of the oldest, most established, and eclectic neighborhoods in the city: Bucktown and Wicker Park. Both offer a good deal of art and diversity among the progressive theaters, galleries, venues, shops, boutiques, restaurants, and bars, an abundance of which are Latino-run. In Bucktown, the Flat Iron Building, Eclectic Junction, and le Garage are highlight stops for the hippest art and clothing. In Wicker Park, the Double Door music club is among the most celebrated in the city for semi-popular rock and other independent labels to break onto "the scene". Explore block by block, and find beautiful homes, historical architecture, and a unique blend of ages, races, and interests.

This is where all the annoying hipsters live.
