There are 2 free concerts of interest tomorrow night downtown.
First, in Millenium Park at 6:30, there's The New Orleans Social Club:

It's a New Orleans supergroup, with Irma Thomas and Koko Taylor as guest
stars, and Chicago's own DIY marching band Mucca Pazza. (I think they
may be opening; it's totally worth it just to see them.)
At the the same time, across the street from Millenium Park at the
Chicago Cultural Center is a free concert of 8-bit computer game music:

(Incidentally, does anyone know who's to blame for the
egov.cityofchicago.org pages?) From the page: Brooklyn-based musician
Mark DeNardo (of the Gamma Bros fame) will perform music on laptop,
Gameboy and guitar, accompanied by fellow Gamma Bros visual artist
Pixeljam.
Does anyone want to meet up at either of these?
