The Hideout has fallen in love with its local coffee roaster. The Chicory Center’s Resistance Coffee project is Chicago's only 100% fair trade, organic, liberation-oriented coffee roaster. Resistance Coffee's current coffee is called Kropotkin's Kaffe, after Russian anarcho-communist Pyotr Kropotkin. The Chicory Center offers this delicious coffee with home delivery on a weekly basis, too!
The Hideout is thrilled to have held a memorable fundraiser on June 22, 2009 for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. Thanks to Baby Alright, Jim Becker & Tim Rutili, The Judy Greene, Bobby Conn, and all the organizations who donated prizes. The night was a great success.

Hiya -- As some of you know I have been buried under a big pile of fringe theater for the last two weeks -- but we have finally dug out from under it, and the show we created in the process opens tonight. It is called Strauss at Midnight, written by Jeff Dorchen, and it is very funny and very, very weird and performed by 11 amazingly talented actors. It runs through July 19 at the Storefront Theater downtown, and it is, as ever, pay what you can, or FREE IF YOU ARE BROKE. Here's what one critic wrote after watching Tuesday's dress rehearsal: "I think you should, without question, go and see Strauss at Midnight. I freakin' love theater that requires literacy from its audience and this is some blisteringly smart art." http://donhall.blogspot.com/ There's more info here -- www.theateroobleck.com -- but here are the basics... June 11-July 19 Thurs-Sat @ 7:30, Sun @ 3 PM. DCA Storefront Theater, 66 E. Randolph $15 or pay-what-you-can

If you can guess the secret of my love for you Then we both could know the secret of the sea words Woody Guthrie 1939 music Jay Bennett / Jeff Tweedy 1999 Jay Bennett we love you so very, very deeply. The tears we shed together will be shed again, and again and again. We will cry, and cry until we can both know the secret of the sea. --Tim Tuten Austin L.

For a small bar the Hideout pitches a very big tent. In business since 1934, our creaky little tavern on a dusty dead-end street famously welcomes all comers: musicians and artists, locals and tourists, anarchists and working stiffs. And in the 13 years under the current ownership, the Hideout's stage has played host to everyone from jazzbos and country crooners to metalheads and Mavis Staples. In the (unusually concise) words of co-owner Tim Tuten, it is truly "the neighborhood bar for the global village." So it's not exactly a shock that Hideout Workers' Comp, Vol. II, the sequel to an acclaimed 2003 showcase of Hideout employees' talent, is more eclectic than ever. Curated and produced by Hideout staff, the new CD is a truly inclusive reflection of Chicago's diverse music scene. Here you'll find metal noise (bartender Andrea Jablonski's Rabid Rabbit,) Frenchified gypsy folk (soundman Ryan Hembrey's Can.Ky.Ree,) bluegrass pickin' (The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders String Band, with bartender Sarah Bortt,) and… Rimsky-Korsakov (The Makeout Party Big Band, a supergroup comprising bartender Jeff Thomas and sound guys Hembrey, Mike Sturgess, and Nick Broste.) Produced in a handprinted limited edition of 300 with original art by Hideout poster artist Alana Bailey, the CD is available at the bar and downloadable in .mp3 via the Thrill Jockey web site
