dylan's 50th beard Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 pitchfork:Hey New Yorkers, we Chicagoans can stay up pretty late, too. From 7:00 pm on Tuesday, December 12 through the same time on Wednesday December 13, the Second City theatre company will host its fifth annual benefit event, "The Second City That Never Sleeps: Letters to Santa", at its e.t.c. Theater. For 24 hours straight, Second City improvisers (current and alumni) will bring the lols, and Windy City musicians-- like, say, Jeff Tweedy, Shellac, the Blisters (featuring Tweedy's son, Spencer), Sally Timms, Robbie Fulks, Jon Langford, and more-- will bring the rock. There will also be an auction and raffle. Proceeds will benefit needy Chicagoland children and families during the holiday season. Big-ticket auction items include a private Tweedy concert in the winner's living room, a day of studio time with Steve Albini, Iggy Pop-autographed hand-written lyrics to the upcoming Stooges album, and more. Because nothing says "Christmas cheer" like cranky old punk guys. anyone know any more? has anyone seen spencer and the blisters? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
