    Oh Man! Sorry about that - I only discovered the Wednesday night
    thing two months or so ago. It's great. Not quite as stuffy as the
    weekends, from what I understand - and the cover is usually $10...
    Clearing the place at 1:30-1:45 is a sad reality here in Chicago, as
    the liquor licenses that the clubs run on brutally force them to
    close *by* 2:00am... There are a few venues that are open til 4 all
    week, but unfortunately, most of them aren't worth visiting unless
    you're desperate for a few more drinks :)

    Drop a note next time you're in town!
    Cheers,
    .aaron shinn
