A couple notes from the web this week:
Chicago’s Cultural Affair woes
Jim DeRogaitis has updated his Pop N Stuff blog over at WBEZ with more on the internal downsizing/consolidation drama going down at the Chicago Office of Tourism. The results are not good for those of us who appreciate the fine work the team over at the Cultural Center has done over the past decade.

When the news of Simon Cowell’s will be partnering with Jada Pinkett-Smith to produce a “DJ Idol” show hit the web this week, we threw up in our mouths a lil bit just like most of our friends.

That’s all for now… have a great weekend!
