| Our Way Of Thinking | MODchicago Weekender June 10 & 11, 2011 |
The new flyer is in production, but click over to Weekender DJ Line Up now and see when and where your favorites are playing!
Don’t forget, you can get advance tickets this year for Saturday night’s event at Late Bar. We recommend it – it’s an intimate venue, and purchasing tickets will let you line jump to the head of the class for quickest admission!
Come out and dance, drink, and have fun as the Dan Parry Memorial Scholarship Fund kicks off its inaugural event at The Globe Pub. The scholarship fund is still in its infancy, but organizers hope to raise money to offer scholarships to aspiring Chicago-area EMTs, Paramedics, and Firefighters. Dan was an EMT and he wanted to become a Paramedic, but he couldn’t afford to go through the training while earning a living. We want to help others that find themselves in that situation.
So come to the party! There will be DJs, featuring the best of In The Spirit with MODChicago Eric, Ben, and JJ, plus a silent auction, food, and lots of people who loved Dan! The event opens at 8pm and runs till close at 2am. RSVP on facebook.

Download the latest comp of 45s from the MODchicago collection. Tunes are individually ripped at 320 Kbps and each one is tagged. A bunch of ‘em you won’t find anywhere else, so give it a listen now if you want to hear what it’s all about! We believe it’s quite a mover, but why don’t you tell us what you think?

Join us on Wednesday, March 10 at Late Bar for a preview of some the sounds you’re likely to hear at Our Way of Thinking 8, as Eric and JJ, joined by friend Ethan of the Mannequin Men, spin all the way until 4am!
We raided the archives and came back with every Our Way Of Thinking flyer we could find… plus some bonus swag from OWOT1 – anyone have the 3 pin set or t-shirts?!
Head over to the Gallery page now and check them out. How many have you been to? Let us know! Go ahead and comment – tell us what you remember, if you remember! We’ve seen a lot of great DJs, some great bands, and there have been a few that have been with us since June 6-7-8, 2002. Thanks for coming back every year and supporting this weekender.

By popular demand, we’ve made advance tickets available for Saturday, June 12 at Late Bar.
When you purchase, your name will be added to our door list – think of it as Will Call. You’ll get a ticket to download, for sure (we’re purists in that sense), but you must have your ID to get in the venue and confirm your purchase. Click on Purchase Tickets to learn more.
This is our biggest night, we go from 9pm – 5am, and it’s an intimate venue, so please do consider purchasing in advance to get your name on the list!
A big thank you to Modculture for including The Simple Headphone Mind in their latest event listings. Don’t be shy, find them on Facebook, MySpace, or Twitter. If you’re thinking about attending from the UK and beyond, get in touch and we’ll help with any questions.
We’ve confirmed another DJ for you: Jackie Hoodoo of LA’s Blackeyed Soul Club
(by way of the New Untouchables), who will be bringing some of the best international garage and psych sounds.
We’ve also been working on offering presale tickets for the first time. Watch your favorite social media for an announcement. Flyers should be available soon too!
The countdown to June continues… tick tick… tick tick… see you then!
We’ve missed you. And apparently, you missed us. MODchicago is back for 2010 with The Simple Headphone Mind, the 8th Our Way of Thinking weekender, June 10, 11, and 12.
The DJ line-up is, you guessed it, our best yet. We pride ourselves on bringing DJs to Chicago that aren’t often near these parts, giving you a premier opportunity to check out what’s happening in scenes across the States and in Europe. The MODchicago sound covers fuzzed out mod and garage rockers, street level rnb, northern pounders, psych explorations, and dancefloor favorites.
We have two new venues for 2010 as well. The Liars Club has been a local favorite for years, and we’re happy to open up Thursday night here. Two floors, great loud sound, cozy dancefloor, and super staff. We’ll be back for the record swap too. Saturday night we’ll be at the Late Bar, Chicago’s newest 5am venue. That’s right, we’ll go till 5. Owners Dave & Kristine continue to support the scene with DJs of all stripes getting a chance to spin at Late Bar.
Check out the links and watch this space as we build the site and countdown to June 10-12 for the return of OUR WAY OF THINKING!
