WE DID IT!!!

The promoter’s ordinance is being pulled and WILL NOT BE VOTED ON TOMORROW!

I’m waiting for the press release from Alderman Schulter, but I received confirmation from his office that it’s been pulled. They’re going to return it to committee, so we’ll have to keep our eyes open, but this time there will be input from the entertainment community.

Congratulations to all of you who signed the petition (all 5,742 of you!), who called your Alderman, who posted blogs and comments and told your friends and spread the word.

I don’t know about you, but tonight I’m going to go listen to some live music. After having some champagne.

p.s. My birthday bash is this Thursday at Fado, 111 N Clark, from 6 until they throw us out. Come join us to now celebrate this grand effort to protect Chicago’s culture. ‘Cause now we won’t need a license for it 🙂
