KRAFTWERK @ Riviera Theater (Chicago)

Mindblowing performance by then Menche Machines. These guys are musical geniuses...easily the best performance I've seen.
If you ever get a chance to see them live, don't pass it up!

p.s. I also got lost in the bins of Gramaphone...

No, I would have liked to but I didn't have internet access where I was staying and I didn't get in touch w/ anyone in the city while I was there.

I know there's a thing going on in Lincoln Park w/ Marshall Jefferson, Farley JMF, and other old schoolers, but it's on wednesdays.

If I would have been there a little longer or had the time/resources to check out what was going on, I would have loved to go out somewhere. I hear Mike the Hit Man still has his weekly going on after all these years.

You could have checked out the flyers up at Gramaphone(loads and loads of events)...or hit up the salespeople(was my boy Frank Q working???)...shit the customers probably would have known what was going on.

MIKE "HITMAN"!!!...I saw a flyer a while ago with Sterling Void(another Chicago icon) on the decks...I haven't heard anything from him in ages.

BTW. Did u pick up any goodies @ Gramaphone????

I didn't hit Gramaphone until the last day I was there..Sunday.

and yes, I found many goodies...it was just a matter of how much my pockets would allow me to take home.
