SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Station in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.

Friday is Rise Against Day in Chicago!

This Friday, June 4th, we will be blessed with Nowhere Generation, the 9th studio album from our friends in Rise Against and the mayor just declared it Rise Against Day in Chicago!   Maybe they’ll get the key to the city?!  <3 Lauren

“Also on Friday, beginning at 5 PM CT, Rise Against will commandeer Chicago’s Reckless Records (the Wicker Park store at 1379 N. Milwaukee Ave.) for a special in-store appearance – the store’s first in more than a year.  The 50 fifty lucky fans who purchase a copy of Nowhere Generation will have the opportunity to see a special Tim McIlrath solo acoustic set at the store.  After the performance, the entire band will sign copies of the new album for everyone in attendance.”

And SURPISE here’s a brand new song from RA!  About which Tim McIlrath says, “I’ve never thought of our songs as ‘brave’ or ‘bold,’  I think of them as just common sense.  When you feel that no one is listening to you, you tend to talk louder, and when you feel no one notices you, you start doing things to get their attention.  That’s what this song is about.”

Enjoy Talking To Ourselves off the forthcoming album Nowhere Generation:

Free samples coming back to Costco is best recovery news yet.

Free samples are coming back to Costco in June and I can’t wait to stuff my face again.

Your snacking will begin again in 170 warehouse locations in the first week of the month — they will slowly phase it in to the rest of their stores by the end of the month.  And while their food courts have been “grab & go,” it looks like they will be fully open again (and you should try these 3 food Costco food court menu hacks).

If a potential winner cannot be contacted, fails to sign and return the affidavit of eligibility and/or the liability/publicity release within the required time period (if applicable), or if the prize or prize notification is returned as undeliverable, potential winner forfeits prize.

  4. General Conditions. Station reserves the right to cancel, suspend and/or modify the Contest, or any part of it, if any fraud, technical failures or any other factor beyond Station’s reasonable control impairs the integrity or proper functioning of the Contest, as determined by Station in its sole discretion. Station reserves the right in its sole discretion to disqualify any individual it finds to be tampering with the entry process or the operation of the Contest or to be acting in violation of these Official Rules or acting in an unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. Any attempt by any person to deliberately undermine the legitimate operation of the Contest may be a violation of criminal and civil law, and, should such an attempt be made, Station reserves the right to seek damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law. Station’s failure to enforce any term of these Official Rules shall not constitute a waiver of that provision.
  5. Limitations of Liability. The Released Parties are not responsible for: (a) any incorrect or inaccurate information, whether caused by Station, entrants, printing errors or by any of the equipment or programming associated with or utilized in the Contest; (b) technical failures of any kind, including but not limited to malfunctions, interruptions, or disconnections in phone lines or network hardware or software; (c) unauthorized human intervention in any part of the entry process or the Contest; (d) technical or human error that may occur in the administration of the Contest or the processing of entries; or (e) any injury or damage to persons or property that may be caused, directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, from entrant’s participation in the Contest or receipt or use, non-use or misuse of any prize. No more than the stated number of prizes will be awarded.

  6. Disputes. Entrant agrees that: (a) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action; (b) any and all disputes, claims and causes of action arising out of or connected with this Contest, or any prizes awarded, shall be resolved exclusively by the United States District Court or the appropriate state court located in the Station’s listening area; (c) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including costs associated with entering this Contest, but in no event attorneys’ fees; and (d) under no circumstances will entrant be permitted to obtain awards for, and entrant hereby waives all rights to claim punitive, incidental and consequential damages and any other damages, other than for actual out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of these Official Rules, or the rights and obligations of entrant and Station in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the state in which the Station is located, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules (whether of the state in which the Station is located or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the state in which the Station is located.
  7. Entrant’s Personal Information. Information collected from entrants is subject to Station’s Privacy Policy, which is available on the Station’s website under the “Privacy Policy” link. All entry blanks, forms, devices, and materials gathered during the course of entry, as well as all information contained therein, shall become the sole property of Station to be used, disposed of or destroyed in its sole discretion.  Station is not responsible for any incorrect or inaccurate information entered by website users, and assumes no responsibility for any error, omission, interruption, deletion, defect, delay in operation or transmission, communications line failure, theft or destruction or unauthorized access to Station’s website.

How a comma put a retired US Senator in Blink-182 — or not.

People were arguing about grammar on the Internet (weird, right!) — this time, it put a former US Senator in the lineup for Blink-182:

Or did it?  This Tweet sparked a discussion on whether or not the Oxford comma would be appropriate to use — or would make it even more confusing.  The nerdy details are below.  Regardless, it’s hilarious to think about Harry Reid in a mohawk.  — [eric] 

This is not a Rick Roll: Mr. Astley mashes THAT song with Foo Fighters

You know what a “Rick Roll” is.  Perhaps you are familiar with the concept of being “Dave G’Rolled.”  If not, check out Dave Grohl’s performance while co-hosting The Tonight Show.

Rick Astley became aware of it — and sent out this mashup of “Never Gonna Give You Up” with a Foo Fighters classic.  So what are we going to call THIS?  — [eric]

White Sox unveil new uniforms and they are FIRE

the best team in baseball just got bester!   The Chicago White Sox unveiled their new City Connect jerseys today and they are SICK!

 

According to the team’s press release

The White Sox City Connect Jersey features a design that celebrates a team mindset centered on grit and drive that is synonymous with the White Sox and the team’s fan culture. Proudly displaying “Southside” in the White Sox Gothic script across the jersey’s chest, the graphic nods to the organization’s storied history of the ballpark’s Chicago location that transformed over a century into a team identity.

The dark grey uniform draws inspiration from Chicago’s well-known Greystone architectural style. Providing a fresh take on the iconic White Sox pinstripes, the color scheme and pattern create texture to symbolize the team’s brand identity and pay tribute to the look that has permeated through Hip Hop and youth culture.

 

These are SO CLEAN. If you want to get your hands on these new threads they are available now on the Sox team store.  Can I borrow $3.50? I NEED THAT HAT!

Cubs Are Responsible for the Single Stupidest Play in Baseball History

Whether you’re a Cubs fan or a Sox fan, just be thankful that you’re not a Pirates fan. Javier Baez grounded a ball to the left side yesterday afternoon and what ensued was the single stupidest thing in the long, rich history of baseball.

If you don’t know anything about baseball, you surely know that this looks wrong, but this video will explain exactly what went wrong.

This play could give the Cubs the momentum they need for the rest of the series. You can just hand them the World Series trophy right now.

Outrage Grows Over a Chicago Steakhouse Requiring a $100 Minimum

Steak 48, a chain steakhouse with locations in Philadelphia, Houston, and Chicago’s North Wabash Avenue, among others, is now requiring customers to purchase at least $100 of goods before paying the check. The minimum does not include taxes and tips, either. The restaurant notes on its website that the situation is “to ensure that each guest enjoys the total experience of food, service, and atmosphere.”

Is this a restaurant you’d be willing to support with this policy in place? Let us know what you think over on Facebook.
