One Last Update Before Leaving for Colder Climes: Battles Live + Rush Hour 3

Yep, just a couple more things up before I head off to wander the fjords and freeways of Scandinavia, in search of traces of my wife’s Viking forebears — as of this AM, we’ve got up a cool, cool review of the Battles/Ponytails/Sharks and Sailors show in town a month or so ago (give or take a week) by writer Brigitte, and a snarky-ish review of Rush Hour 3 by our sometime film critic Creg.

This’ll be the last update for a few weeks, for obvious reasons; despite the expansion of digital connectedness to every damn corner of the globe (I’ve checked my email, for example, in a trashed-out Internet cafe in the Old City of Fes, Morocco, which was a little bit bizarre), I’m afraid I’m going to be a bit busy dealing with travel & sightseeing & family-type stuff to try to post any new stuff. Sorry ’bout that, but hey, I’ve needed a vacation for a long time, so y’know… (Beyond that, I’m feeling the need to escape the H-town summer heat that’s finally crushing us down like it does at some point each year.)

But never fear — we’ll be back shortly with tales to tell (uh, maybe) and a bunch of new reviews and all that to post. Cool? And thanks to the kind efforts of Chicago SCR representative Henry (who is The Man in many, many ways besides), the shows list will indeed be updated while I’m gone. Keep emailing any shows you want listed to “shows” at “spacecityrock dot com”, and he’ll do his best to get ’em up there. Please be gentle with him, folks…
