Mid-Night Standard Revue is currently booking at Wise Fools Pub, and continues to work with The Abbey Pub, Beat Kitchen, Subterranean, Elbo Room, Red Line Tap, Betty's Blue Star Lounge, and other select venues across Chicagoland. If your band or a band that you know is interested please have them contact me directly at [email protected] is the part where I try to walk the line between running a promotion group and, on the other hand, include this totally unprofessional "getting-to-know-me" section. Ah screw it... you can see the website for more information... now:I like Saying Things just to see what happens. Driving. Leisure lawn sports. New music!I like Books.I am a biproduct of a country father and a city mother: I love Chicago. May I suggest the delicious fish... I love the camping AND all things played in mud. This is why we don't have nice things.I find the act of peeing in snow both grotesque and fascinating. I like the words monkey and nefarious to name a couple. Don't speak unless spoken to in the morning. I like asking questions and staying up all hours. I like to push limits. I like people to know me. I love hearing stories. I enjoy Travel. Dancing too. Things that make me laugh to a snort are good. Damn you, damn the broccoli, and damn the Wright brothers! I take in a lot of shows. I save the world late at night. I have no cape. It's unfortunate. I do have a faubulous duvet. I enjoy finishing books. And people watching.
People who like to dance to loud music. Or no music at all. But preferably to music so that everyone else can dance too. Glad we had that talk.... This is awkward. Specifically: Rodney Bingenheimer - come to a show: www.wisefoolspub.com ; www.abbeypub.com ; www.midnightstandard.net
