Went to see the 1900s tape an appearance on the public access dance show "Chic-A-Go-Go!" I'd never seen it before but it apparently has quite a cult following. Kids, old people, hipsters in weird costumes, all dancing in front of a brightly colored painting of the Chicago city-scape. Bands come on and lip sync to their songs. A rat puppet tells knock knock jokes. An asian woman with some pretty intense arm tattoos hosts.

The 1900s decided to go with a camping theme. They brought a tent and a fake campfire. Jeanine almost wore a bear costume but her bear costume connection fell through at the last minute.

Nick and Katie brought their daughter, Jane, who danced and danced as they taped three straight episodes. I even danced a little myself.


Comments:
If you look closely, besides the 1900s, you can see Jane, Nick, Katie and Sarah in this picture.
 
My friend's band, Stag Party (now defunct, or rather "defunked") played the show a couple of years ago. He brought his dad with him, and he was wrapped in Christmas lights, dancing along. It was glorious.
 
Sarah's the one in the pajamas, obviously.
 
Man, the 1900s are everywhere these days! I once did a video for Ed's other band, Plane. Ed's a cool cat.

The host of the show is named Mia. She's in that play, The Intelligent Design of Jenny Chow. It's an awesome flick.

Found you through Chicago Bloggers. We're on the same stop or something.
