Your Curated Chicago Weekend: 2/25-28
- Ke$ha couldn't prove that staying in her recording contract would cost her her career, only able to make the contention that Sony would leave her on the shelf even if she recorded with a different producer. Therefore, Judge Shirly Kornreich denied her injunction motion.
- The Twitterverse flipped a shit, with many fans and celebrities rallying around Ke$ha and many think pieces written about the inherent misogyny of both the criminal justice system and the music industry.
- There are still many things left to be determined here--Ke$ha has sued Dr. Luke for abuse, while he has countersued her for defamation--and Ke$ha may yet win herself a fresh start, particularly if Sony decides an out-of-court settlement is favorable for all parties involved. It would certainly be quicker and cleaner.
WHAT: New underground food group The Dinner Table will be hosting “Recovery Soup” to help you recover from the weekend.
SO WHAT: Where else can $6 buy a cup of soup, a chunk of bread, and 6 meals for the Greater Chicago Food Depository? (The GCFD will receive $2 from each sale.) So eat something good while doing good.
NOW WHAT: It’s open to the public.
