TLP May 10, 2006
An off-the-cuff Lex Pro. I promise a meatier issue next time. That said, don’t sleep on the haps ‘cause of the short descriptions. There’s a lot of great stuff going down. Hope all are well.

Nothing fancy here, just something that sounded like fun to me.

TONIGHT! :: Wednesday, May 10 ::
MANDARIN MOVIE w/BLASTOCYST and SHARKS WITH WINGS @ Mecca, 451 Chair Avenue
8pm, all ages, $5
It’s less than three hours away, so not much use in giving you a big write up. Suffice to say, it’s gonna be a big sloppy party tonight. Spaxtic rock, noise, and experimentation. It’s a chance to check out a new project by Rob Mazurek of the Chicago Underground Duo and to welcome home two of the founding members of the Action Arts Collective – Jay Dunbar and Brian Osborne (aka Blastocyst). Come out! Come out! [FULL DISCLOSURE: Yeah, pretty obvious … I helped organize this show.]
