We hit The Dollar Store at The Hideout last night. The Dollar Store is writing/reading event where this guy (Jonathan Messinger) gets a few items at a dollar store and hands them out to a few writers and they, well, write on it. Admission...one dollar. It was loads of witty fun. Not to mention that The Hideout may very well be the coziest, hometownsiest bar in all of Chicago. You turn down a dark street, way off the beaten path and think "Is this right?" In the midst of big trucks, warehouses and good old Chicago industry appears The Hideout all glowy and warm. Inside you find good arts and music and cheap cans of Hamms and Old Style.
