The English Surgeon

A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines.  In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck

One Night Stand

I shot photos at the One Night Stand Adidas blowout last Saturday at Metro. Only Children, Moneypenny, Team Bayside High, Jokers of the Scene and Midnight Conspiracy all threw down the beats.

One Night Stand(-Off)

So yeah, that happened. One Night Stand at Metro is always a sloppy mess of a good time, however, I decided to take it a step further this past Saturday. If you were not there to witness, let's just say you missed out (or maybe it's a good thing you weren't there?). Switch was also playing downstairs, which made the entire Metro complex extra sloppy. Click the link below for all my drunken faux film party pics, plus a few cat shots thrown in for good measure... yes it's cat week here on everyoneisfamous.com

One Night Stand

November 21, 2009 | Metro | Chicago: Another night of one night stands at one of Chicago's biggest monthly dance parties! The music was as good as always, with veteran party makers Team Bayside High along with Mano, Capcom, Skyler & Broken Disco 1980 on the decks. Click here for all the sweaty photos from the night.

Rummy Sailors

October 20, 2009 - Metro - Chicago: Many hours of open bar full of rum equals many drunken moviegoers. Yeah, there was a movie playing at the Metro. A documentary about a famous tattoo artist. I must've been one of a handful of people in the building with no tattoos. Now, onto the photos!

One Night Stand

8/15/2009 | Chicago: This was the first time I was able to make it to the monthly One Night Stand party at Metro. I have to admit, it's not the kind of party I would frequent on my own, yet that's not to say it's not a bad party at all. On the contrary, I think this is one of the best parties in town for the young kids (under-agers) to get down to some great tunes. In my travels, I've seen many a crazy 18+ party in far away lands, yet Chicago seems to lack a solid, reputable 18+ option. One Night Stand is as close as it comes to the answer. The kids are excited and down to dance! I'm hoping one day soon I'll be invited to DJ this party! hint, hint... Click here to see all the photos & in the meantime, lobby your local congressman to get me a DJ gig at this party.

Sov, French & Holt

Last week I checked out a show at The Metro involving the self-proclaimed "biggest midget in the game," Lady Sovereign along with newcomer sensation Chester French and local rapper Hollywood Holt. While I can't say the show was the best thing I've seen, it was generally entertaining and all three acts were enjoyable. I was also surprised by the large quantity of photographers in the pit who were there to shoot Lady Sov who managed, as usual, to douse the crowd and cameras with a steady flow of Heineken beer. Oh and of course, shout out to DJ Annalyze (Sov's tour DJ) who threw down a super dope opening set including some crazy DJ tricks and beat juggling. Definitely a highlight there.

As always, click the thumbnails or link below to see all the photos from the show.
