Its another freezing cold day here in Chicago and the entire city is waiting to awaken encased in ice by tomorrow morning.  That means it was tough to drag my sorry flabby behind to the computer to write tonight.  You know what that means, right?  Yes, it means taking the easy way out and going to the WDCB radio station website.  You can visit the same station by clicking here, but you can look below to see some of their events listed on their events calendar.
