Winter returns with a vengeance. Looks like four to six more weeks of soul-crushing, gray and cold Chicago winter weather. So here's a few shows I won't being going to this week. Enjoy!
MONDAY 2/28
Lady Gaga, Scissor Sisters @ United Center
1901 W Madison Ave.
312-455-4650
Ok, now I get it, Lady Gaga is the new Marilyn Manson— she worries your parents and scares little kids with her highly derivitave music, but it's all about art and image. I get it.

Abbey Pub
3420 W. Grace St.
773-463-5808/ 866-468-3401
As far as lawncare goes, it doesn't really matter if you use a Weed Eater 15-Inch 4.5 Amp Twist-N-Edge Electric String Trimmer, a Hitachi 21.1cc 2 Stroke Gas Powered Straight Shaft Grass Trimmer or even a Black & Decker Grass Hog XP 14-Inch 7.2 Amp Electric String Trimmer/Edger, you're gonna wanna take a wack at some some weed in some form for this show.
WEDNESDAY 3/2

Empty Bottle
1035 N. Western Ave.

FRIDAY 3/4
Iron & Wine, Eleventh Dream Day
@ Riviera
4746 N. Racine Ave.
