Surf W/Amsterdam Party Ending!
PEARL HARBOR: WHAT HAPPENED?, CASINO MAKES A HUGE MISTAKE, DID HITLER MURDER HIS NIECE?, THE WORLD'S SEXIEST MAGICIAN, THE IRISH SENT TO A SLAVE ISLAND, BATTLE ROYALE MOVIE, MAN DIES FROM NOSE PICKING!
Amsterdam is shutting down its red light district. Say good bye to pot, too.
A casino gambled and lost — big time. Now it's asking thousands of customers to give it a break.
Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course set out to do something nice for its best customers, rewarding 1,000 of them with free slot-machine playing credits
But instead of the elite 1,000, the promotion was sent to 55,000 people. http://www.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2008-12-02-casino-error_N.htm?csp=34
Surfer Richard Crowe sends us the world's sexiest magician!
Surfer Crowe informs us that Hitler's revolver is going on sale. The story of how he may have killed his niece, which came close to ending his rise to power, is truly fascinating.

Lots of Hollywood folk drop the name Nina Foch when they talk of acting influences. An actress turned teacher who taught directors such as Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz how to work with story and with actors, Foch has died at age 84.

Remember Pearl Harbor. Did you know the civilian deaths in Honolulu were from friendly fire? Or that it wasn't supposed to be a sneak attack? The Japanese screwed up delivering the message!

PFS shows return!
The 25 year party known as the Psychotronic Film Society returns with a FREE SHOW at

http://mcdunnas.com/
1505 W Fullerton
773- 929-0944
with $2 PBR! As the gods intended.
Tuesday December 9th at 8PM.
The film is
BATTLE ROYALE!
Perhaps one of the most controversial films to come out of Japan in recent years, "Battle Royale" (based on the best-selling Koshun Takami novel) is "Lord of the Flies" meets "Survivor" with guns: in a dystopian Japan of the near future, the government places one class of grade nine students on a remote island, gives them each a weapon, and lets them loose in a fight to the death. Despite being branded the rarely-used R15 rating (restricting the film to those aged 15 and over) when it opened at the tail end of 2000, "Battle Royale" quickly became both a critical and box office success, both domestically and in other Asian film markets. And though the film will probably be remembered more for its graphic exploitation of teen violence, "Battle Royale" also makes some rather pointed remarks about Japanese society and history.
The Psychotronic Film Society was founded 25 years ago by Del Close, Supervixen Pam Boom Boom Smith and Michael Flores. Del died, Pam got married, Flores remains. "YOU CAN'T KILL A MAN BORN TO HANG"!

BEST SITE OF THE DAY:
It has remained one of World War II's most enduring mysteries, one that resonated decades later after Sept. 11: Who in Washington knew what and when before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941?
Specifically, who heard or saw a transcript of a Tokyo shortwave radio news broadcast that was interrupted by a prearranged coded weather report? The weather bulletin signaled Japanese diplomats around the world to destroy confidential documents and codes because war with the United States, the Soviet Union or Britain was beginning.

Surf W/ RIP Forest Ackerman
A sad, special theme this time. The man who turned so many onto science fiction and horror, has died.
Forrest J Ackerman, the sometime actor, literary agent, magazine editor and full-time bon vivant who discovered author Ray Bradbury and was widely credited with coining the term "sci-fi," has died. He was 92.
Here is his interview in BIZARRE MAGAZINE
Here's the man who defined science fiction, and influenced many filmmakers from Lucas to Spielberg.
Steve Dahl, a Chicago radio fixture for more than 30 years, told his Jack Fm listeners that today would be his last broadcast.
"This is our last show here," Dahl said this morning on his WJMK-FM 104.3 radio show.
"They were saying, 'Well, do a couple of weeks, a farewell.'" Dahl said. "I said, 'It's not a farewell. You guys are taking me off the air. I'm not retiring.' … "I still have 2 1/2 years left on my deal so, quite frankly, I'm not letting them out of it."
Dahl, famous for his song parodies and impressions, is considered a pioneer in talk radio and has been influential for many other radio personalities.
He took an "every guy" approach to life in Chicago and often told stories about his life and family.
The radio industry is feeling the crunch of the economic crisis, and advertisers and digital have increasngly splintered the audience.
Dahl writes a column for the Chicago Tribune, and said he can continue to "write for the paper, do some TV things and who knows what else" but says he will stay off the radio for the remainder of his contract.

Ripley's Believe it or Not.... the collection! From Surfer Richard Crowe
On June 2, 2006, the Hampton Grease Band reunited for the first time in 33 years to perform their legendary 1971 double album, "Music to Eat." The group included all the original surviving members who played on the record (Bruce Hampton, Glenn Phillips, Jerry Fields and Mike Holbrook), along with Bob Elsey (of the Swimming Pool Q's) filling in for the late Harold Kelling. The show took place at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta before a packed house and was professionally filmed by director Barry Mills and a 5-camera crew. After 2 1/2 years of editing, Barry has just released the 1 hour and 23 minute DVD, and it's available for order here. http://www.angelfire.com/ga2/glennphillips/orders.html
Hampton Grease Band will always be important for me, as they played the music to my first riot!

Iggy Pop is finally getting the respect he deserves... though this interview is not ok for work!
This incessant fixation on Hitler's sexuality, on his alleged perversity. I think it's fair to say that the very apex of cultural stupidity in our era is the compulsive conjunction of Hitler and sex. He was a "predatory" homosexual. He engaged in excretory practices with his underage half-niece. And, one of the most enduring, a myth I thought I had refuted once and for all but that now rears its head again: Hitler had only one testicle.

(how the hell did Mike pull that off?)
Put the X back into X-Mas this December when THE BRIDES OF GHOST HUNTER RICHARD CROWE: The X-Mas Edition, pops up at The Liar's Club, 1665 W Fullerton, 773- 665- 1110. NO RESERVATIONS ACCEPTED, DOORS OPEN AT 8:00 PM, SHOW STARTS PROMPTLY AT 8:15. Admission is $10. THIS SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EDITION will run for 6 performances only. YOU MUST BE 21 OR OVER TO ATTEND.

LET'S PUT THE X BACK INTO X-MAS! The Romans celebrated Saturnlia by dragging a tree in their home, placing candles on the branches, exchanged gifts and had a big feast. They also sang songs door to door. Sound familiar? The Catholic Church tried to ban the practice but ended up sending it underground. Finally the Church relented and decided to change the birthdate of Jesus so the holiday would have a different meaning. When the pilgrims came here they banned the practice, and goups from the Baptists, to the Quakers have tried to outlaw it over the years. GIMMIE THAT OLD TIME RELIGION!
THE BRIDES OF GHOST HUNTER RICHARD CROWE ran to standing room only crowds at The Liar's Club- you don't want to miss this unusual theatre experience - where the entire bar is the stage, in the Special Christmas Edition! This Christmas show is not for kids!
Anna Holman first got the acting bug at the age of 7 when she saw ROMEO AND JULIET at the Utah Shakespeare Theatre. Her first play was at age 8 when she played the white rabbit in ALICE IN WONDERLAND. She has been playing the piano and violin since she was a child. She likes Christian Beale as an actor, craves corn dogs, and digs Led Zeppelin over Pink Floyd.
Melodie Magnason sings with B.B. Kings daughter at The Joynt, sings with Ramsey Lewis, Jr.'s band, and is an internationally known jazz and blues singer. How director Mike Flores got her in his show is anybody's guess.......

Stephen Daiter Gallery is honored to present the first major gallery overview of the early photography of Chicago–born photographer, Wayne F. Miller. Wayne, (born 1918) began his career in the U. S. Navy during the Second World War. He documented Franklin D. Roosevelt's funeral and recorded the destruction of Hiroshima – a few short weeks after the first atomic bomb was dropped. In response to the horrors he witnessed and wanting to continue his profession in ways that better celebrated the human condition – he returned to his native Chicago, and with a pair of coveted Guggenheim grants, Wayne began an historic series of photographs (1946-1948) of the bustling Bronzeville community
