Green Screen Variety Hour

Anyone getting tired of waiting for UV Live to be reborn? Well, I'm re-reading Order of the Phoenix right now so it's bound to happen soon enough. Until then, know that I've been developing a new venue and will be hosting its season finale this Friday night August 27 at 8PM.

Closing this run will be opening comic Thomas Bottoms, feature comic Marty DeRosa (one of the funniest men in Chicago!) and our special treat is a tease for the remount of the Game Show of HELL brought to you be Awesomonster!

It's absolutely free, BYOB and will be held in Emerald City Coffee (which yes, I know it's just outside of the Uptown neighborhood in Wrigleyville but nonetheless) at 3938 N Sheridan right off the Sheridan red line stop. Starts at 8PM and runs one hour, hence Green Screen Variety Hour.

This season has been great and you can come help us send it off in a blast, BAM! FaceBookers can RSVP on the event page by clicking on this very line, yes this one! Everyone else just show up with your game shoes on and get ready to have a HELL of a good time.

Best of Chicago 2011 Thank You

This is a simple, post-it note personal thanks to everyone that took the time to cast their vote for the Chicago Reader's Best of Chicago 2011 survey. Look forward to hearing news of the poll winners and Reader's choices. Now it's back to creating and debating rather than plugging and promoting. Uptowners and outliers alike visit my main blog site here: Nicholas Dale Taylor. Did someone write "Thank You" on an Easter egg... poorly or is that one of those generic twitter "egg" images used to generating annoying spam that links my name to porn. Fishing is good but phishing is bad. Here's to getting better! Have great weeks.

Less than 2 Days

Quick reminder to any Uptowners and or outliers, polls for the Best of Chicago Reader 2011 survey will close on Monday the 6th at noon. Remember, the last blank on the survey is "best local blog" and the name that belongs there is "Nicholas Dale Taylor." Don't delay, get those votes in today: Click Here!

Hoping all of you are well.

Hiatus Over

So the venue has been on an unofficial hiatus, hibernating if you will.  Now with spring around the corner the next line up for UV live is about to be announced.  Growing from 2010 allowed the production staff of UV Live Entertainment to dry behind the ears and work out the kinks of running variety into the 3 and 5 hour lengths.  This being said, the shows in 2011 will have a fresh feel, showered even with new talents and favorite faces.

If you live in Uptown or the surrounding areas this is the venue name to keep up with this year for all the newest ways to keep life vivaciously versatile.  Look for the next show in June, 2011 at a lucky spot in Uptown, Chicago. Talent will be announced near the end of May or the first week of June.
