susane Bartch's party at Le Passage was friday, May 3rd. i tried to say a few words about it in this topic, but managed to start a brand new topic instead. daddy was being nice (thanks daddy!) and posted a note for me here. the note is a few days old at this point, hence the "last night" confusion.

susane's May 3rd party was a great time. The theme was "jungle". lots of plastic blow up monkeys, grass skirts, chiquita bananas, and a seamstress who was stitching and stuffing banana-shaped things all night. me and karen arrived just after midnight, and the place was filling up fast. it seemed like a big chunk of the crowd left around 2-ish, but lots were there till 4 am. it was my first bartsch party, and i must say, she draws an interesting mix of people. i thought the next Le Passage gig was on June 7th, a first friday of the month event, but i have not checked into it.
Here are the upcoming events at Berlin:

"Autobahn Saturdays" presents...

Guest DJ ANTONIO LAURIA
along with resident DJs GREG HAUS
Well, yes, I was in Chicago this weekend for IML. Suffice it to say that the Hyatt was a corporate nightmare; I was unable to post because the "Business Center" was closed for the holiday weekend. I actually participated very little in IML activities (except for a party with 7 German skinheads in my room, but that is probably another topic), so let me record my impressions of The Windy City...
I haven't been to Chicago for any length of time since the 1970's, except for a quick DCI Tour, so I was totally taken aback by the changes... The city now has the appearance of a set out of Brazil. I stayed in the new and refurbished East Side, all poured concrete and steel and glass, with strange gardens that were empty due to the holiday. On the plazas were gangs of skateboarders being chased by building security... Perhaps someone could explain the plethora of double antennae on the tops of many buildings. They do resemble horns. Perhaps they are a tribute to the cows that once passed through the stockyards. Or maybe something more dark and sinister...
I did venture, of course, to some of the more ruined sections of town and also visited the museum because I had never seen Edward Hopper's "Nighthawks" up close. Was surprised by the Kandinsky's there. Who knew?
And who invented the gawd-awful term Chicagoland? Sounds like a Daley-ism to me.
I will probably return later in the summer and will want to see some of Chicago's night life. And I won't be staying at the Hyatt.

If we aren't staying with friends, our first choice of places to stay are always at the Neighborhood Inns of Chicago.

This is a triad of smaller Inns owned by the same people. All three are located just north of the city. If you stay at City Suites, you are right across from Berlin and right next to the EL. So downtown is just $1.50 train ride away.

If you are going up for a big area event (like IML) book at least 2 months in advance to get their regular rates.

The times we went to NYC we stayed in the Chelsea Pines Inn on 14th... These very much remind us of it. (except every room does have it's own bathroom)

Here is their website: http://www.cityinns.com/

Well our weekend in Chi-town was really good and really bad...

On Friday night we witnessed gang gunplay, complete with an SUV battering it's way through a Caddie.
This was on the corner of North Milwaukee and Western.

On Saturday I was assulted on our way out to Le Passage. (I'm fine, I got worse injuries from the 13 year-olds I used to work with in Social Work.)

Two guys ran across two busy streets to come up and throw a drink at my head. When they missed, the one guy (who was smaller than me) came up and kicked me and yelled "fucking faggot" The other guy was about 6'3" and a skinhead (black boots - white laces) he looked like he was going to come in swinging, but didn't. Jojo ran to Red Dog (where he works) They got confused on who to follow, so they backed off.
It could have been a lot worse, but we got lucky. We did get Police assistance, and a report was filed, but they didn't catch the guys.

I wanted people to know to keep their eyes open. The cops said that it was really rare in that neighborhood and it really surprised them. Wicker Park is generally gay/freak friendly, but I guess that also attracts the bashers.

This is the third incident for us in the last month. Some of you know that we had bottles thown at us twice (on the corner of 14th and 8th no less) while up in NYC. (Once we were dressed and once we weren't.)

I guess I'm just posting this to remind people that as far as things have come, there are still too many assholes in the world.

Satori, Thanks so much for the cool reference. I had a great time in Chi this last weekend, but I couldn't get my friends to try anything new. I think they're still stuck in the 80s. :-)

Anyway, I'll let you know the next time I'm up by myself so I can try some new things. Let me know if you two get down to Texas. I can get to Houston or Dallas easily (I'm in Austin).

Hugs,

-- Tina
Oh! You missed out frown

Your friends would have loved the concert it was very '82 v.s.'02

We've updated our site to include pictures from last weekend in Chicago.

We saw Peaches, Chicks on Speed, W.I.T. and Tracy and The Plastics in concert and ran into Peaches, Larry Tee and W.I.T. out at Hollywood Grille. We got great pictures of their performances, and a few from the sidelines.

We've also started a "LiveJournal" that we update almost daily.
