The Overture: November 15 - 21
WHAT: Coyote Grace
WHERE: IMC ($TBA)
WHEN: Thursday, November 17th at 7:00 p.m.
A co-production of the UP Center and university LGBTQ Resource Center, this show is part of the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Acoustic music and the IMC go hand in hand, so this should be a good one.
WHAT: Grandkids, Midstress, Deathtram, Isaac Arms, Petunias
WHERE: Mike 'N Molly's ($5)
WHEN: Thursday, November 17th at 8:00 p.m.
This stuffed lineup is a benefit for the recently founded C-U Collective (check 'em out here if you're unfamiliar) and kicks off a bit earlier than usual, which is probably a good thing. Face it -- you have work in the morning.
WHAT: Ryan Groff, An Evening With Your Mother, Megan Johns
WHERE: Indigo Gallery ($5)
WHEN: Friday, November 18th at 8:30 p.m.
An unamplified show presented by 88.7, this is also doubling as An Evening With Your Mother's CD release. Five bones is a good deal for that.
WHAT: Hathaways, Facing Winter, the Palace Flophouse
WHERE: Mike 'N Molly's ($5)
WHEN: Friday, November 18th at 9:00 p.m.
Quick, what was the best album that came out in Champaign-Urbana this year? You should be thinking about several right now, but Bad Friends Forever should definitely be high on that list.
WHAT: Flamingo, Comfort Food, Avery Strange
WHERE: Iron Post ($TBA)
WHEN: Friday, November 18th at 9:30 p.m.
This bill kind of makes sense considering how much jazz the Iron Post hosts, but these bands are so much noisier and odder than the usual fare at the Post that things are bound to be interesting. And just to clarify, that's a press image you're seeing over there.(not editorializing).

Yeah, I’d agree that Transporter Room 3 is the worst house venue I’ve ever seen.

Thanks! I’m looking forward to writing even more….
Yay! Love this! Welcome to the family!
that last photo’s a doozie, Chris. good work.
that city center house show was one of those life-affirming things.

I also got to visit Big Grove Tavern during the soft open and definitely enjoyed the pork belly the most of all the dishes I sampled. The cheesy grits and the vinegary pickled vegetables were a perfect compliment to the rich pork belly.
The Alan Partridge lookalike on the right in the first small photo has nothing to condescend to anyone about. AH HA!
Snell and the little Hitlers of the neighborhood association need to chill out. Legitimate businesses should have the freedom to exist without having to endure the slings and arrows of ignorant and misguided opposition.

Food trucks are the start-up, small businesses of the future for those unable to afford real estate. No surprise, that merchants who pay rent, utilities, and maintenance on a property would despise the traveling competition. Or developers who build more empty retail spaces would want to close…
Not so much far-right Tea Party as a balanced, moderate viewpoint between letting businesses succeed and protecting society with reasonable regulations. In spite of what the city reps are saying, the interpretation of policy on this issue certainly has changed. Letting a business start up under one…
I think it’s neat that SP has turned rightward, now espousing a Tea Party-style frustration with government regulations & taxes.
This makes me so sad. (Happy to live in Urbana, though!) Crave Truck has been a GREAT addition to the food choices in C-U, and it’d be a travesty to chase them away. This town should be supporting small businesses. I’m glad to hear that they’ll still…

And without bloodshed. Sounds like the Savoy trustees aren’t as narrow-minded as some of their whiny pants constituents. Do you think quack Snell is already planning an asinine counterattack or is he still laying low after those “threats” against his person?
hey, if hair ain’t gon’ be over your head, my jokes may as well be.
Okay, almost 24 hours later and I finally got Issac’s Summer joke. I’m an idiot.
Excellent. I am glad sometimes American dreams are encouraged, rather than stifled.
Swap the dog for a fire pit and it sounds like you’re writing about my back yard. Very nice.
funny, as your summer begins, another Summer ends.
