Alright North Chicago, on Wednesday nights, 1721 Sheridan Road is the best kept secret in town. I am talking about Neo Soul Wednesday's at the Social Bug, hosted by none other than, the one and only SoleTempest (Simone).
The poetry last night was off the chain. The atmosphere is laid back and with DJ SKILLZ on the 1s and 2s playing the sexy sounds of Neo Soul, each Wednesday night is a night to remember. And with the sudden arrival of Poetry on the Patio's Markell Mooney last week, you never know what to expect.
If you have a heart for creativity and the spoken word, it will be energized. Come with your A game or not and still have fun.
Last night, if you were there, you got to hear and see the lovely Oasis bless us with her wordplay and angelic melody. Local hero, and Lake County celeb, the X was in the building, blessing us with his rhymes.
Not to mention the undeniably clever Breeze and Brandy Nicole (YES I GIVE CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE).
Once again, this is laid back, grown and sexy folk. Leave the drama at home and come have a ball on Wednesdays at the Social Bug: 1721 Sheridan Rd in North Chicago, IL 60064.
ALSO: This Friday the X will be in the building for Old School Fridays. Come out and get your groove on like we did back in the day.
I can't say enough about this place, but I must say this: We need to support our black owned businesses in this town. When someone is doing something this positive, it is a righteous endeavor. I never thought I would spit in my home town again. But after last night, I know and believe that anything is possible. And I will return to the Social Bug again.
Spoken Word has a new home in North Chicago, every Wednesday night. Show some love for it.
PEACE
