The MayDay Scooter Club

Just a quick note to spread the word on what we’re up to these next couple of weeks…

Nov. 3 – this Tuesday! – The Garageland gang gives it another go at Liars Club – 1665 W Fullerton Ave. JJ will be spinning soul 45s

Nov. 7 – Party Marty has a birthday and invites friends to spin punk rock. Great excuse for everyone to head to Blue Island…

Nov. 13 – Windy City Soul Club – it’s been a pretty wild first year for the WCSC. Four venues and countless killer records. Back at Sonotheque for November – 1444 W Chicago Ave.

Nov. 14 – Cold Weather Challenge Kick Off Party – we look forward to this every year. Not because we’re crazy enough to ride a scoot when it’s freezing (three cheers to those who do, but we’d rather be wrenching in a heated garage and dreaming of next summer)… but because the Galewood crew knows how to throw a party. We’ll be at Kat Klub – 6920 W North Ave – with BERRYOKE!
