Hi there folks!!

So what can be said about all our fine customers and the Portage Park neighborhood totally bringing it last night to the first of many Friday Happy Hours we will be having at the shop. What an amazing night!! We want to give a huge thank you to all of you for coming out and making it a truly fun night. A big shout out to DJ Bill from Trouble In Mind Records (the best label in Chicago!!) for spinnig a truly killer set of reggae and dub!! The tunes were so hot that the stereo caught on fire!! No joke. We also want to thank Maplewood Brewery for bring samples for us to taste. Go visit them for sure!! Check out the wonderful Maplewood Brewer and Tap Room in Avondale!
