Issue 21 ● September, 2012

Hey Folks,

As Jordan smoothed the black camisole back into place, Tyler used the awkward silence to gaze around the room and take in his surroundings for the very first time.  His eyes fell lazily on the laptop sitting on the adjacent nightstand where the latest issue of Where and When was displayed on the screen.  "Check this out," he said suddenly, his voice breaking the long stillness.  "The Kris & Marlon Show's doing four dates in September."

SAT., SEPTEMBER 15th 9:00PM—BRIDIE McKENNA'S

254 Green Bay Road, Highwood, IL 60040

We are pleased to be making a return visit to Bridie McKenna's in Highwood. This place is a lot of fun for us to play, and we heartily recommend the fish and chips! Weather permitting we will be back out on the stone patio. If the afterlife has an Irish Pub—and why wouldn't it?—it is likely modeled after this one.

SAT., SEPTEMBER 22nd 8:00PM—LOVELL'S OF LAKE FOREST

915 S. Waukegan Rd., Lake Forest,  IL 60045

We have vowed to keep playing this gig until we get it right. Right?! Well, this time might just be the one! We'll be in tune; the PA will work; we'll remember all the lyrics, and only collect a modestly respectable amount of clams throughout the evening. The audience will be intelligently discerning, well-heeled, slightly inebriated and in a mood to tip—and you yourself will be there to be a part of this extraordinary occasion. It could happen. Wouldn't it be great if it did?

THUR., SEPTEMBER 27th 9:00PM—GRACE STREET TAP

3759 N. Western Ave., Chicago, IL 60618

Come see us in Chicago's favorite dive bar! But this dive bar has a proper mixologist who can cure most ailments, great beer selection, level pool table, live entertainment, and all the accoutrements of a fancier speakeasy without the frou frou hoity toity. And now you try using frou frou hoity toity in a sentence.

SAT., SEPTEMBER 29th 8:30PM—GRANDPA'S PLACE

1868 Prairie St., Glenview, IL 60026

It seems we've been playing at Grandpa's Place since Grandpa was a small boy. They pour pints like Victoria Falls pours the Zambezi; they can cook a burger like Yosemite Sam shoots pistols; and occasionally they can put on a show like The Kris & Marlon Show. This is one of those times.

So there you have it!  Three extraordinary chances to catch "The Show" in this month, and next month will feature a big show at Stage Bar as well as another appearance at Moher Public House. Thanks for tuning in.  As always, we look forward to seeing you where and when we can.

With warm regards,
