There is still a mild information hangover within our newly switched over systems, so to make up for any possible data holes here is a handy post with every event for the month. There is everything from poetry to Crimethinc coming up, so don’t miss out.
Wow, its been awhile. Well here is the update to all the stuff that you may have missed since our last update. Luckly with summer holidays kicking in too full gear, the mail has been a bit slower. Perfect time for us to catch our breath, fix up our servers and plan any last minute summer conquesting that needs to get done. Next weekend is Pitchfork-fest so I suspect some of our far away readers might be poping in the store pre or post concert. Hope you do. Happy Summer Time!!!
Well the weather is warm and people have been hitting the streets hard on two pedal powered wheels; But I have to say I have seen some of the worst bike ridding imaginable so lets take a minute and lay some ground rules for you wet behind the ears bikers out there. This is more than calling you out on some annoying shit, this is the kind of stuff that can save your life.
5 things to consider before you bike…..after the jump!
An article in Friday’s Chicago Tribune calls Quimby’s one of of Chicago’s 10 best bookstores, but please folks, don’t hold it against us. Kidding. I kid! Between Greg Kot, Metromix and the Red Eye, the Chicago Tribune is a regular wild and crazy guy. Anyway, it’s a nice piece that focuses on independently-owned, neighborhood bookstores, such as Quimby’s, Women and Children First, Seminary Co-op and others. Link (bound to expire.)
In other news, New City‘s biannual “Lit 50” list of Chicago’s literary pimps and players puts Quimby’s very own Col. McCormick, Eric Kirsammer, at number 40. It’s a full two spot improvement from their 2005 list! Lookout, Oprah!
