after the 2nd email, no offence was taken. i will say this though: i've
never been to a show in chicago unless it was metro or a major place, i've
never seen anyone make announcements saying "I'm ____ and I'll be spinning
some ____ for you tonight." never happened @ rodan, sonotheque, smartbar,
buddah, empty bottle, whatever the name of that shitty club downtown is
called, tini martini, betty's, and i could go on and on. it's just how
things happen.
