WICKER PARK, THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 7:00P. A night of weed discussion, education, celebration and intrigue. The night will start off with author Ryan Nerz signing copies of his new book, MARIJUANAMERICA: One Man’s Quest to Understand America’s Dysfunc
Lagunitas Brewing Co, famous for their marijuana-related, um, “situations”, will have piney beers on tap, and there will be stoner-themed specials from Jerry’s. There will also be live painting, and a whole lot more (tba) will be added to this fun and educational extravaganza.
Ryan Nerz is a freelance journalist whose work has appeared in/on Esquire, the Village Voice, NPR, Spike TV, the Biography Channel, and The Daily Show. He is currently based in Brooklyn, NY, and we are excited to have him in Chicago to share his research, humor and life experiences.
The evening will then segue into music with Dirty MF (of Grammy-nominated Liquid Soul), celebrating the Release of his new mix-tape, “Kush Groove”. Dirty MF, a legend in Chicago’s hip-hop scene, is an avid marijuana smoker and discusses this love often in his lyrics. This night also happens to be the MC’s birthday and will feature a listening of the new mix-tape and live performance with his band, the Smokin’ Sextion.

WICKER PARK, JUNE 26th-29th, 9pm, $10/night (2, 3, and 4 day passes available)
Fourth Annual Festival: Amidst a sea of auto-tune, reverb and buzz bands, the Independent Chicago Songwriter Festival brings it all back to basics – good original tunes, talented musicians, a voice and an acoustic guitar.
Initiated by musician Chris Darby in 2010, Independent Chicago has been working to help bring awareness to the underground songwriter community in the city, connecting local musicians with audiences and with each other. This year, each of the four nights will be curated by a different Chicago songwriter. Julie Jurgens, Rob Reid, Sue Fink, and Chris Darby will each host a night.
Patrons will have access to limited edition recordings and posters as well as special offerings from the artists, including a compilation CD featuring a track from each performer. Select Artists will be featured on Independent Chicago in the week leading up to the festival, www.independentchicago.org.
