This is from a series of photos Michael Abramson took during the 1970’s while visiting south side discotheques. The name of the book is Light: South Side. It’s amazing.

Tumblr Writers Happy Hour Friday 3/2, 6-8pm Uncharted Books 2630 N. Milwaukee Ave. Chicago
Uncharted Books is a new bookstore that was funded on Kickstarter and had a Tumblr before it was born. It’s a dream spot for book-web-community nerds and I absolutely can’t wait to see it (and all of you.)
On March 18th, we’re hosting the Bike & Build Fundraiser, which will help send a number of local cyclists from Providence, RI to Seattle, WA. Along their 3,000 mile journey, these cyclists will be working with groups such as Habitat for Humanity and Rebuilding Together to build, renovate, or preserve homes to broaden access to affordable housing. Headlining the show will be Minneapolis/Ecuador-based, bossanova-pop group Buffalo Moon (check out their great new video up above) and Jim Becker’s Appalachian stringband The Paulina Hollers will open. Great cause. Great music. Be there.
