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

Spandexxx at Beauty Bar

One of my favorite Chicago parties is back! Spandexxx was a lot of fun with A-Cup holding down the fort sans the other half of Moneypenny. Sadie Woods and Team Bayside High also threw down killer sets. And then Matt DuFour and I got big egos and spent most of the night talking about how cool we are.

Hugs, Kisses & Spandex

Back to Sonotheque I headed this past Friday night for the monthly Spandexxx party featuring Heartsrevolution, Rocktapussy & Team Bayside High. Prior to Sonotheque, though, I stopped by Crocodile for the weekly XOXO party with Hey Champ manning the DJ booth. You can check out XOXO each Friday at Crocodile and the next Spandexxx on May 22nd with Lauren Flax, SR-71 and myself, Just Desserts! playing the jams! As always, click the links below to see all the photos!

Spandexxx #1

Spandexxx is apparently a new monthly joint over at everyone's favorite spot*, Sonotheque. They got the party jumpin' this month with live performances from Silver Ghost (from Detroit) and He Say She Say. I must say that Silver Ghost were really great and sounded surprisingly awesome considering Sonotheque's sometimes less-than-stellar sound for live bands. And of course, Drea and Mano aka He Say, She Say killed it as well. Prior to the party I tested out my fun new faux ring flash I bought by taking some press shots for He Say, She Say and the thing works very well! Expect to see me with a giant ring flash on my camera in a club sooner or later.

*my love/hate relationship with this place has been love lately
