Alright, so that damned groundhog saw his shadow. It doesn’t matter to me, and it shouldn’t matter to you either – with all the opportunities to dance this month, I think we can thaw this city out together!

DJ set at The Charleston featuring special guest Leonardo Ciccone
10 p.m. to 3 a.m.
2076 N. Hoyne, at Charleston
This week I’m honored to play records with Leonardo Ciccone! A talented musician in his own right, Leo has contributed heavily to the city’s electronic music community, participating in the recent Mutek and FMEL festivals around town. When he’s not touring as a member of Dark Party or working on new material as a member of Lagos, he can be found creating his own works and playing records with the gentlemen of Fort Wellington Soundsystem. This evening promises to be a good one – come see us.

Peace Party at Danny’s Tavern featuring special guests Sonorama
10 p.m. to 2 a.m.
1951 W. Dickens, at Damen
Every second Monday, Danny’s Tavern hosts Peace Party – an event that directly benefits a different social organization or charity each month. By drinking and dancing, you are helping to make the world a little bit better! Part of the proceeds from the bar go to help each participating organization toward realizing a social goal. This month we’ll be raising funds in support of Rising Tide Chicago, as part of their efforts to stage an Environmental Response to G8/NATO.
