carnyjack, dr_whuh, kaffyr, and I are going to the Chopin Theatre to see All the Fame of Lofty Deeds. (Many thanks to Dave Langford for mentioning this show featuring his brother's music and art.) As The House Theatre's website says:
"Written by rock journalist Mark Guarino and featuring the music and artwork of Bloodshot Records recording artist Jon Langford, this phantasmic journey into the mind of a fictional country music legend is what an episode of Howdy Doody might look like if it were directed by David Lynch. Sadly reflective and yet hilariously surreal, the show mixes rock biography, live music and stunning visual effects to tell a tripped out tale of the demise of America's last living cowboy."
Tickets are $25, plus what looks like a 10% online ticketing fee. If others reading or hearing about this outing would like to join us at the show, please buy your ticket(s) directly and comment here* so we know to look for you. Our ticket order didn't come with specific seat assignments -- I don't know whether the theatre is allocating seats now or when we pick up the tickets at the door. If it's when we pick them up, we may be able to group our seats together, but that's of course far from guaranteed.
The Chopin Theatre is in Wicker Park, at 1543 West Division, Chicago, IL 60642. Directions here or via your preferred mapping service.
Showtime is 7pm. I hope we'll find a convenient place nearby for coffee/dessert/bheer/whatever after the show.
If you're in the Chicago area this Sunday, I hope you'll be able to join us!
*If you'd rather not comment here, please send me email (address in my LJ profile) or call me on my cell phone (if you have the number).
