Shows in Chicago on Wednesday?
December 10, 2007 at 03:02 PM UTC

I'm in Chicago for business this week, and have Wednesday open so I thought about checking out a show. So far, it looks like the Lemonheads are playing that night, but since I don't really know the city that well, I was wondering if anyone had tips for any venues not showing up on Pollstar.
Any help?

Yeah, I think those would all show up on pollstar. I have no idea what small clubs are there now so someone may still be able to help you. Maybe go see the Nutcracker instead? Second City improv?

Ouch…You're missing Shellac at the hideout by one day.
I gave some thought to going out there and catching their whole residency.

Yep. And most likely I'll miss the dates Wilco is doing in February, which is brutal. They're supposedly trying to play their entire catalog during a 5-night stand.

Oh, nothing. I was just wondering if anything below the Pollstar radar was happening. Personally, I'm banking on our CEO taking me out for drinks and dinner, but as a back-up, the Lemonheads will do nicely.
