Its visible event details place the show at BookClub, 2871 N Lincoln Ave in Chicago, with doors at 7 PM and music from 8–10:30 PM. The format assigns the opening set to a changing group of friends and the final level to Lou Astro, with entry described as free and attendance restricted to people 21 and over.
