Uber opens permanent indoor waiting lounge at the United Center.

March 8, 2020 | Eric

The first of its kind at any sports arena or concert venue, Uber has opened the first permanent indoor drop-off and waiting area — and it’s right here at the United Center.

Getting out of Chicago winter weather is enough of a bonus for me, but it turns out the Uber Zone has room for about 1,000 patrons, is temperature controlled, and yes — you will be able to charge your dying mobile devices while you wait for your ride.

For more details, like — how your driver will find you —  the Chicago Sun-Times has you covered.  And scroll down — we have you covered for upcoming shows at the United Center that you might be interested in.  — [eric]

Kids in the Hall are coming back

March 6, 2020 | Kevin

One of the most celebrated sketch comedy shows of all time is coming back …to CRUSH YOUR HEAD! If you are fan of alternative comedy or anything funny imported from Canada, then you love to learn that Kids in the Hall are set to return to television with Deadline reporting this week that Amazon Prime will bring the show back for an 8 episode run. ‘Saturday Night Live’ producer Lorne Michaels will help bring it all together.

In May of last year, the Kids were honored at the Canadian Screen Awards honored the cast for their comedic accomplishments and teased the idea of getting the gang back together.

Their odd, hilarious, and influential TV show that ran on HBO and CBS from 1988 to 1994, are getting back together. In 1996, the group released the wildly weird movie ‘Brain Candy’ which satirized antidepressants. In 2010, they did a short-run series called ‘Death Comes to Town’ on CBC up north. Many new fans discovered the whacked out KITH  later discover the show in reruns on Comedy Central, DVD, and the internet. They have toured their live show on and off over years including well-received shows at the Chicago Theater in 2014

Here are 5 must-see sketches for those unfamiliar or very familiar with the Kids.

You can get drunk and embarrass yourself or you can do it this way….which is also embarrassing.

Maybe one of the most well-known reoccurring sketches from KITH was this odd man who would close one eye and focus his vision to ‘crush’ people with his fingers. It’s ridiculous but it’s the calling card of the show.

Canadians have always had a good knack for making fun of the foibles of Americans. This bit perfectly makes fun of things that are maybe not that important.

Do you anyone named Dave? Well you can share this with them.

Some kids are very annoying and know how to pester you with so many questions, and then there is Gavin.

Stage right stage left, it’s all so confusing. Can you blame Biden for the mix-up?

Thank god he only reached for her hand!

James Bond ‘No Time To Die’ delayed due to Corona virus

March 5, 2020 | Tim Virgin

Variety reported this week that the next James Bond film ‘No Time To Die’ has been delayed to a November release due to concerns over the global outbreak of corona virus. The film which stars Daniel Craig was scheduled for an international release on April 2nd and a U.S. release on April 10th but due to so many theaters being closed in major movie-consuming countries like South Korea, Italy and others dealing with a lot of theater closures, the spring time release for the blockbuster franchise just did not seem feasible. You can catch the movie in theaters on November 25, 2020.

The film produced by MGM and Eon Studios cost a report $200 million to produce and even more money just to market. so maybe waiting for a time when getting people out to a theater without restrictions is a good business idea. Remember even if you don’t like Bond movies, this a massive series for worldwide movie audiences.
