As a follow-up to recent postings on urban renewal and gentrification, here is a “found” flyer from a Chicago neighborhood I’ve heard described as “the Bushwick of Chicago.” As in: Latino, gentrifying. Pilsen is named for the Czech town of Plzen — Pilsner, a delicious type of lager beer is, too — because it was populated mainly by Czech immigrants in the early part of last century. As Czechs made a better life for themselves and probably moved out of the city to the suburbs, Chicago’s growing Latino population moved in.
I get the idea that “hipster” gentrification has a frontier mentality that can be quasi-racist, or just plain ignorant. But “hipsters” (I apologize for the scare-quotes, but I can’t write that word without them), like Latinos, just want a place to live. Their enemy is not one another, but a system and culture that would pit them against one another in this fashion.
Note: The Fillmore in San Francisco was Japantown before WWII. It was the biggest Japantown in the States, ever, if I’m not mistaken. The WWII war machine turned the Fillmore into the Harlem of the West: the Japanese were interned, Southern blacks came to the West looking for work with the Navy. I wish cities worked differently, but a static city is a dead one.
I don’t know much about Pilsen but this sounds a lot more like the situation in the Mission rather than the Fillmore.

Oh how I wish truckstop was still around. They were a group that rose from the ashes of the almighty New Kingdom. It was Sebastian and Scotty Hard’s project with some other dudes. All that ever came out of it was an EP that I have but man it was some dope shit. Slow banging distortion is my shit.
New Kingdom were so ahead of their time. Dudes where making this crazy shit in 1990, still doing it in early 00’s. I don’t know what they are doing now. last I heard Nosaj was still doing the Nature Boy Jim Kelly stuff in 09 but these days I don’t know. Hope they keep at it though, dudes got that style down so hard.

What everyone else said.
This Tuesday! Uptown Almanac’s comedy night at the Roxie Theater on 16th and Valencia. Great comedians, free PBR!
Quite a lineup! QUITE a beer deal! I’m hosting, and you should be hoisting a whole lot of PBRs.
You all should go to this. My friend Lydia is super funny. I saw Chris Garcia the other night and he is super funny and I have a song called Ping Pong Poon stuck in my head because of him. Mimi Vilmenay is funny on the internet and probably in person. I can’t vouch for the others, but I’m reblogging this from Sean Keane and I am going to say that since I’m following him, it puts him at 90% chance of being funny in person.
Yeah, what they said! My friend Emily Heller is #1 in funnies and I know I’ve mentioned that here before but you should really see her perform. Also, I’ll be there … so there’s that.
as far as I know I plan on showing up at this shit

The first episode! GET INVOLVED! BOOM!
use this link to subscribe to the podcast http://feeds.feedburner.com/StayHatin put that shit in your fucking itunes motherfuckers.
Yes I have another fucking blog but yo this one has me talking with Matthew Africa and Soft Money of Space Age Hustle. Basically we would hang out and talk about rap music before shows and I had an idea that we should record those conversations and put them on the internet because that’s straight hood as fuck! This is what we made last night and boom peep game. We play rap songs and talk, I’m excited to see where this goes but yeah man should be cool and hopefully you learn about some music that is better than whatever the fuck bullshit you listen to now.
