See half of the original Smiths tonight in Chicago!

Yes, both Morrissey and Andy Rourke are in town. What? You were expecting Johnny Marr? Sorry, he's busy being an official, real-live member of Modest Mouse. And sorry again: Moz and Andy won't be performing together.

But after the Morrissey show at the Auditorium, you can head to Debonair Social Club to catch the former Smiths bassist hit the decks. It's as part of his new gig as a touring DJ. Expect an eclectic, well-selected mix of pop-rock that, from what we hear, samples his former band (including those killer bass lines). We hope that he throws a little "Last of the Famous International Playboys" in the set as well; after all, he had a brief stint as Morrissey's solo bassist.

What do you think the odds are that Morrissey shows up tonight at Debonair to see his former bandmate? We give 'em at, oh, slightly better than Moz showing up to Gibsons for a juicy New York Strip. But you just never know...

Today's RedEye had a great story by Alexia Elejalde-Ruiz about the hardships of servers in Chicago: Bad tippers. Demanding customers. Lack of respect. No wonder New York waiters have been striking lately! (see New York Times; registration required)

We were struck -- OK, appalled -- by the woman Elejalde-Ruiz quoted who left a 5-percent tip after receiving subpar service at a Hyde Park eatery. "They are there to serve you, to cater to your needs and make you feel that you are wanted in that restaurant," she says. Yikes! And on Mother's Day, no less.

So OK, time to 'fess up: What's the worst tip you ever left -- and why? (And, yeah, being broke counts as a reason.) And as far as you servers: What's the worst tip you ever received  -- and do you think it was deserved?

And, by the way, what counts as good service in your book? Which spots around town have the best?

Before catching Damien Rice's utterly haunting, sold out show at the Civic Opera House, we stopped into new River North eatery/deli/grocery Sugar and Brown's, which is about a 15-minute walk north. The spot was spacious and comforting inside and features a funky gadget to help servers deliver items to the right place: After ordering at the counter, we received a plastic card to slide into a port at our table, indicating that we're expecting order 55 without having to post a card on the table, a la Corner Bakery.

Unfortunately, there was still confusion about our order--our Tuscan chicken panini was initially brought to another table--and Sugar and Brown's takes a relatively liberal approach to "quick-serve," which means those looking for a bite before the opera might be biting their nails if they're worried about getting to the show on time. The panini and mixed field greens salad took about 20 minutes to come out, though we did receive a sincere apology while we were waiting. Thankfully, both the sandwich and the salad were tasty, despite the somewhat disappointing quantity of goat cheese on the salad. (Of course, for us cheese lovers you can never have enough.) Regardless, it was a smart pick for a pre-opera, under-$20-for-two dinner in the area with a bit more sophistication than, um, The Rock and Roll McDonald's.

As for Rice, he kept the audience transfixed throughout his hour-and-45-minute performance as he vacillated from heartbreaking ballads to angry, you'll-never-screw-me-over-again jams. Snow and shadow lighting effects were particularly effective for Rice's palate of lonely, gorgeous drinking songs, which would have felt all the more timely had we exited the venue into a blizzard, rather than a burst of warmth and humidity.

What did you think of the show? Where do you like to go before a show at the Civic Opera House -- opera or otherwise?
