You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
Bitch in!
It’s getting cold. The CTA is slow. The Bears stink. Bet you have a lot to complain about, huh?
That’s the idea behind the Chicago Complaints Choir, a group of locals who sent in their gripes and wrote an 8-10 minute song about their problems with the help of Finnish artists Tellervo Kalleinen and Oliver Kochta-Kalleinen. The duo has organized choirs around the world for the last two years, and Chicago’s choir--comprised of about 50 people, who did not need to prove their vocal abilities before joining--is the first official complaints choir in the U.S. (Unofficial choirs have been organized in Alaska and at Penn State University without Kalleinen and Kochta-Kalleinen.)
It’s too late for you to join in on the grousing, but you can catch the choir for free at 1 and 3 p.m. Saturday at the MCA, and for $5 at 8 p.m. at Empty Bottle. The group will also travel around the city from 3-7 p.m. Sunday, stopping to perform in various neighborhoods and other specific spots, including a scheduled stop at 4 p.m. in Millennium Park.
