It is rare to find someone like DEWAYNE SLIGHTWEIGHT, who spills creativity through their pores. Dabbling in music, drawing, and sculpture SLIGHTWEIGHT’S brain never stops churning out some of the most unique and interesting art in Chicago. We’re pleased to present DEWAYNE’S latest creation, an opera entitled The Kinship Structure of the Ferns. It is indeed, not to be missed. Fellow Chicago artist TARALIE PETERSON takes time away from her haunting and ethereal work with SPIRES THAT IN THE SUNSET RISE to perform solo here, and we cannot wait to hear what she has up her sleeves. (SPECIAL: 'White Pirate' - Point Pale Ale and a shot of Sailor Jerry, five dollars.)



Reserve tickets here, and they'll be waiting for you at the door. You can also call 866-468-3401 for prompt telephone service.

Street Team:
Who loves to put up posters and distribute flyers? I know we do, and so does our street team. They are damn good at it too. However, the time has come to add soldiers to our illustrious volunteer force, and we think you'd be perfect for the job. Did we mention you get to go to free shows? Prior experience is helpful, and so is a vehicle or bike. But don't be discouraged if you have neither, we might just have a place for you anyhow. Interested parties should contact Morgan at morgan@emptybottle.com or 773.276.3600.

Interns
The Empty Bottle is looking for you… especially if you are looking for an internship. We would like to bring two interns on board to work with us here in the Bottle office. Internships run 5-20 hours per week, and cover a wide array of tasks and responsibilities. That said, we do need responsible and industrious folks who are interested in learning more about the concert industry. Internships are unpaid, but man alive, you want to talk about perks? Free shows are just the tip of the iceberg. School credit is preferred, but certainly not necessary. If you are interested, please send a resume to morgan@emptybottle.com or fax it to 773.276.3607.
