Walk-up Tarot Readings @ IBW Lodge #1

Real quick! 

We've had so many requests for a Tarot reader at the Lodge, we've finally managed to find one that we think is worth your time.

The Demon Cleaner will be here Wednesday February 21st from 6p-9p to do walk-up readings. No reservations, first come, first served. I'd love to offer this service on a more regular basis, but it all depends on your interest and support. 

So, come on out and orient your brains for the year ahead.

Spiral-Out of Dry January @ IBW Lodge #1

What's worse: Dry January or having to spend time alone with your thoughts while pretending you're not a committed parishioner in the church of the BIG DRINK for 3 weeks?

Both, dummy!! It's always both.

So, to help you get over strange aspirations made in the fits of holiday desperations and sugar-psychosis, you're half-witted friends at IBW have 3 life changing events this weekend. And, the first one is TONIGHT!

ROBOT KARAOKE is back! It looks like we're gonna start doing this on a weekly basis, but, the journey of a thousand lost memories begins with TONIGHT.

Get your song together and get over here. We'll start around 8:30. The only thing worse than an unattended Karaoke session is being sober, so, do the right thing and GET HERE TONIGHT AND DRINK BEER.

And then, on Saturday, we've got a Big Flipping Deal!

Everything you need to know (about this event) is right up there in the flyer. Don't make me repeat myself. FREE COMEDY! FREE DJ! NEW IBW BEER! PIZZA from Chicago's best NY-Style pizza pushers, MAX & ISSY'S. The pizza starts at 6pm, the show starts at 7:30pm. DJ Adderall Spritz starts RIGHT after the show.

And then, holy smokes, SUNDAY @ 5pm we've got CMON INEED YR HLP doing a rare live performance. I don't have a flyer for this, but I'll link to their band camp page. These guys are fantastic. And I'm usually pretty picky and kind of a dick about music. So, TRUST ME. :) This is a FREE SHOW and it starts around 5pm. 

WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT FROM US? FOR THE LOVE OF PETE, WHAT?

Holiday Party TONIGHT & Vendor Pop Up TOMORROW @ IBW Lodge #1

If you're looking for a couple two-three things to help distract you from the seemingly hopeless tire fire of life, we've got just a the couple two-three things for you this weekend.

Tonight we've got our Holiday party!

The party starts at 5pm w/ food from CHICAGO CATERING COMPANY & holiday music. Make sure to bring in toys for under served kids because every toy you bring gets you another raffle ticket to win a gift from Santa. And, if you hate kids or you don't like charity for some reason, you can get a raffle ticket for every glass of WAR ON XMAS you buy tonight.

At 730(ish) Santa will pull some tickets from his magical sac and distribute gifts to creeps like you from our friends at Drag City Records, Aeriz cannabis, AWH skateboard distributing and, yes, IBW.

We'll have an Ugly Sweater contest and a HO!HO!HO! OFF for some more prizes.

As part of our HOLIDAY BACCHANALIA, we've got our 1st installment of a new monthly Saturday night dance party, WAX DISASTERS. Join Ellis DJ, MiM & DJ Salsa Verde as they take you on a wild adventure into no genre ass shaking.

And then, of course, tomorrow at 1pm we've got our HOLIDAY VENDOR POP UP with the following local artists and businesses:
--BLACK PISCES PRESS w/ screen printed holiday cards and posters
--CHICAGO PYRO SHOP w/ LIVE engraving, IBW hand carved and painted signs and other cool stuff
--GARRET AUGUSTYN w/ deranged ceramic gingerbread men, scary clowns and criminals
--HAREBRAINED DESIGNS w/ all of your STFU About CHICAGO needs from shirts to panties to calendars, pins, posters, flags, you name it
--METALEDGE RECORDS w/ Punk and Metal vinyl
--GAMERS CORPS w/ RPG and Board Games
--LOCAL GOODS CHICAGO w/ all of your Chicago pride stuff
--BRE'S CHIBAKED w/ yummy baked goods that are good when you're baked
--ILLUMINATED BREW WORKS w/ lovely shirts, posters and creepy back rubs for your Uncle's who have bad ideas and really just need a back rub to settle down

JOHN VERNON FORBES will be twisting the tooters behind the bar and we'll have some beer specials and that goddman BEARS game at 1pm, so all of you yahoos who bugged us about playing the BEARS games in our little sanctum sanctorum can come hold up your end of that Faustian deal by yelling at the TV or whatever you people do at football games.
