Wear Your Geese with Confidence: An Interview with the Puterbaugh Sisters

In anticipation of their Art It Out show, I sat down and chatted with Danielle and Tiffany Puterbaugh, sisters whose brand of comedy is “experimental ridiculousness.” Before I hit “record,” we talked about how someone broke into their Humboldt Park apartment and stole their 11-year-old computer and their weed; how I heard about El Circo Cheapo Cabaret, where I first saw the duo perform as...

The Fulton Street Collective: An Interview with Director Joe LaNasa, PART I

Wednesday nights are best spent with nudity, alcohol, and Tombow two-tip acid-free nylon brush pens. Or charcoals. Or whatever your utensil of choice may be. I stumbled across Fulton Street Collective’s BYOB uninstructed nude and costumed Figure Drawing sessions by chance, and by chance I mean attempts to conceal my own awkwardness; after placing an order to go at my local Logan Square coffee shop,...
