For one night only you can completely lose your mind… for free. Yes that’s right. Lose that goddamn mind all over the place! But don’t worry, we promise we’ll keep it within the walls of 2421 N. Milwaukee. To help the process along, we’ll be filling your ears and feet with sounds only yet heard by the ghost of Christmas yet to come.

Let’s recap:
0. Free
1. 9:00PM @ Whistler (2321 N Milwaukee - Logan Square)
2. Lose your mind with The Ornery Darlings
3. Dance
4. Lose your mind with All Things Lucid
5. Dance a lot
6. Beg ol’ Uncle Ebenezer to return your mind
7. Stop reading this silly message

We say, “Fight fire with fire!” with All Things Lucid during this dichotomy which is the holiday season.  All those demons that the holidays can dig up on you ATL has songs for and all those good feelings that the holidays can bring back ATL has songs for those too!   You can’t win battles alone so that is why we recruited Ornery Little Darlings to be our allies for our next show at The Whistler on Dec. 15th at 9pm.  To add to the “good” holiday spirit we are giving you this show for FREE!  So come to The Whistler on Tuesday Dec. 15th at 9pm to keep your body and soul warm!

All Things Lucid at The Whistler

-Take care

The PechaKucha format, where a dozen or so presenters are given 20 slides each shown for 20 seconds to reveal their passions, work and inspirations, is now held in over 190 cities around the world. Chicago events are among the most popular, with over 250 people in attendance at each event. Now a staple on the Chicago creative calendar, PechaKucha Night has made its home at Martyrs’ club on the city’s North Lincoln Avenue.

All Things Lucid has been asked to be the first band to present for the Chicago event.  We’ll be breaking down our process of writing a song as individuals, and as a band.

After all the presentations we’ll be doing an encore set to kick off our great June schedule.  We recommend either getting tickets in advance or arriving early as the event normally sells out.  8:00PM $10
