A Hungry Brain needs Candy so we'll feed it. Candy Town plays the Hungry Brain Monday May 16, 2011 9pm at 2319 West Belmont Chicago, Illinois. We split the bill with that ukulele strumming duo Victor and Penny who, like Candy Town, will transport you to another era. That's a lot of era transport for a Monday night. Especially for a zero dollar cover charge. That's right-you walk in for free. So please do because a Hungry Brain is better than a starving mind. See you there.

The most popular subject in poetry and song is Love. If you love Mom, then bring her to the Green Mill for poetry and music extraordinaire. You can even perform your special Mother's Day Poem to her during the open mic. Cam's Tie at your service for musical support. See you there.
