Bars Near Wrigley NOT Charging a Cover for the World Series

cubs

Some bars in Wrigleyville are really trying to make a buck off the Cubs World Series run. Some are charging as much at $250 to get in. To be fair, some are offering drink/food packages with their crazy cover, but if you are looking for a spot near all the action and don’t want to drop a ton on a cover you have some options.

Here are 7 places Time Out Chicago found that won’t be charging to get in this weekend.

1. Murphy’s Bleachers

2. Vines on Clark

3. The Irish Oak

4. Johnny O’Hagans

5. Roadhouse 66 Gas N’ Grill

6. The Bar Celona

7. Sports Corner

RIP VINE: The Six-Second Video app is a goner

trademark_logo

The six-second video social website Vine is closing down in the coming months, according to a report today in the New York Times. Twitter which owns Vine, has had some setbacks in the social media wars recently as it’s laying-off 350 jobs within in the company and this is all apparently a part of a much-bigger restructuring. The news comes after months of speculation about the video platform’s future, as many of it’s biggest stars jumped to other more viable video options like YouTube and Facebook Live.

The major theory on the demise of Vine is the rise of video on other social media websites with Instragram’s video additions being highlighted as the most damaging. “I was told many times by people inside of Twitter that Vine never recovered from Instagram’s video launch a few years back. That threat of stealing users and market share was real, and it worked.” said New York Times tech reporter Mike Isaac.

So what happens to all your Vines? The website officials said in a statement online that they would find the “right way” for users to be able to access and download their Vines before they officially close the site. Meanwhile, I am still trying to find out to get back into MySpace so I can remove my ex-girlfriend from my Top 8. Vine is expected to be done for good within the coming months.

 

‘CLOVERFIELD’ lives on with upcoming ‘God Particle’ movie

jhmfomwng9rpxqlsnoaj

The alien-monster world of ‘Cloverfield’ is going to continue with a recently revealed upcoming film produced by J.J. Abrams called ‘God Particle’ due in theaters by late February. The film will follow ’10 Cloverfield Lane’ this year’s cousin to the 2008 found-footage horror film, which involved a woman being held against her will in an underground bunker to avoid an apocalypse above ground. The new film will take the non-linear story of CF into outer space where astronauts fight for their lives after making a “shocking discovery” according to the Wrap. If only we could get this scary flick now for Halloween right?

‘God Particle’ will be released through Paramount and Abram’s Bad Robot production company and  directed by Julius Onah. It carries on Abram’s immersive storytelling across multiple films with puzzle-buried deep in online gorilla marketing. It will be previewed for reporters today in New York and next week in Los Angeles, so we might have a better idea of how it connects to that giant creature that took down a whole city in the first film. You could really go down an internet wormhole looking at all the clues online which connect everything in these movies.

Shiny Legs or Paint?

Much like the dress debate, people cant tell if these legs are shiny or painted to make them look shiny. Considering that there are markers all around the legs, I’m going pint. But, you be the judge.
