Ira Glass and artist Chris Ware: this Saturday night in Chicago …
From Ira … Yesterday I got a tour of Chicago’s new Millennium Park and yes, I know, it was a $475 million dollar boondoggle and all that, but boy, they sure did a nice job. Someone with interesting, adventurous taste made some really nice choices.
I got the tour because cartoonist Chris Ware and I were invited to present a story we put together about a boy who loved Chicago architecture as part of the opening festivities, in a late-night event that’s basically a slideshow, plus a radio story, all synchronized. If you’re in or near Chicago, come out and see it under the stars this Saturday night, July 17, at 10:45 p.m., on the rooftop of the Harris Theater. That’s right on Randolph, the big white building on the north edge of the park, right next door to the Gehry-designed pavilion. We’re appearing with two bands � the Aluminum Group and 8th Blackbird.
