CHIRP: The Chicago Independent Radio Project

Karin Fjellman writes

Weekly Voyages Thurs 4/16 thru Wed 4/22

Warm weather, we summon thee . . .

Oh hey, it worked! Erm, I mean — not that we’re into Wicca or anything — not that we’re against the practice either — we’re neutral, er . . . THE POINT IS that it’s getting nice out! Ride a bike, walk, just get outta the house to these shows this week.

And don’t forget to party with us at our Record Fair after-parties at Reggie’s on Sunday and The Whistler on Monday!

Check ‘em.
