So in a case of pure coincidence and good timing… today’s groupon is $10 for $20 worth of food and drink at Fox and Hound. So if you were planning on coming out to join us… why not do yourself a favor and pick one of these up. This has been a public service announcement.
Beware the Ides of Phandemonium

The Ides of Phandemonium continues with a Happy Hour(s) celebration at Fox and Hound in Arlington Heights, at 7pm sharp! Be there, I know I will be! Look for the tired doctor with a drink in his hand!
For those of you a little more geographically challenged… Fox and Hound is located on Dundee Road between Arlington Heights Rd and Rt. 53.

Tuesday Funk #32 meets Capricon 32
013 years
by Peter Heltzer
in Capricon 32
In an odd sort of cosmic fate kind of thing, one of Capricon 32’s upcoming Guests of Honor will be doing a reading at Tuesday Funk #32. What is Tuesday Funk you ask?ย Well let me borrow some content from their website, since really I’m not going to be able to explain it better than they can.
Tuesday Funk is an eclectic Chicago reading series, hosted by Sara Ross and William Shunn, bringing you a variety of fiction, poetry, and essays the first Tuesday of every month. Join us next on March 1st, 7:30 pm, upstairs at Hopleaf, 5148 N. Clark St., Chicago, IL. Tuesday Funk is the official reading series of the Gothic Funk Nation.
So that’s what Tuesday Funk is, and on March 1st, Steven Silver, Capricon 32’s Fan Guest of Honor will be giving a reading. So come on out and see him, have some beer and have a good time. Maybe when you see him at Capricon next year you’ll be able to say “I saw him way back when… before he became famous.”
