they sing, dance, (and most importantly) show you how sexy the
burlesque strip-tease can be! Fri and Sat at midnight, Oct 14-Nov 5.

Horror Convention
Thank you to everyone who joined us at Flashback
Horror Weekend Convention from July 29 - 31 at Crown
Plaza Chicago O’Hare! The costumes, the vendors,
the movie screenings, the events, the screams! All together made for a
fantastic whirlwind memorable experience. John Carpenter was there,
Bruce Campbell was hilarious as always and all of the celebs were
gracious and fun (and most were quite tipsy by
the end of Saturday night!). It was fantastic to see The Man with the
Screaming Brain on the big screen! Big
congrats to GCC Card Member Paul M. who won our contest for the free
pass
for Saturday. Passes ranged from $15 to $160; all ages.
