Chicago’s Answer To SXSW
By Jim Nasium
If you couldn’t get to Austin this week for SXSW, no worries – Chicago is hosting its own music festival for those of us stuck here at home. Among the highlights:
* Billy Corgan plays an eight-hour show at his tea shop interpreting Boss.
* Fall Out Boy plays Billy Dec’s birthday party.
* Liz Phair tries to sell her charcoal drawings in Wicker Park.
* Kanye West projects his image on the Willis Tower while performing “We Should Have Never, Ever Let Michael Jordan Play For The Wizards.”
