Spundae at Vision You could argue that Spundae, a national promotion crew based out of San Francisco, has taken the first step in becoming SfX for clubs, especially since, with the inception of Chicago’s Spundae events, the promoters now put on events in five cities. Whatever. These Saturday nights at Vision have consistently brought internationally known DJ talent to the city since June, the likes of Crystal Method, Sasha, Seb Fontaine and John Digweed. And just to make sure it didn’t step on anyone’s toes, Spundae started the nights off right, featuring Chicago-bred DJs Sneak and Derrick Carter. In a culture not known for lasting power, Spundae has taken little time to dig itself some pretty deep roots.

On Vacation: One Night in the Voodoo Museum The driving rain banged off the tin shelter. Putting my head back I realized I was alone with a group of strangers, inside the Voodoo Museum.
El of a Night: Twelve Hours on the Red and Blue Lines While I ride CTA trains a few times a week, I was interested in getting a better sense of what conditions are like on the El at other times of the day. So I hung out on the Red and Blue routes from 5pm to 5am.
