I just thought of the newest "product" of the Creative Social Club! I introduce to you The Burrito & No Dough Rock Show Combo Series. You see, for a bourgoise MBA guy living in Lakeview, I have the heart of a West Town hipster. I wanted to combine two of my passions and turn them in to a regular thang of the Creative Social Club: burritos and free rock and roll. Genius! biggrin

We start our evening off at 6:30 PM at La Pasadita, 1132 North Ashland Avenue, in East Ukrainian Village -- East Village for short, and to be precise, right on its border with Noble Square. There are two things that distinguish this establishment: the football-sized Super Burritos for $7.50 and the unlikelihood of getting held up as the place is heavily frequented by the police. La Pasadita burritos are so big that you will see plenty of men on Ashland Avenue furtively stashing their leftovers in their cars for further consumption the next day. In the past, these "stashers" have included members of the Creative Social Club, and while I will not name names, the scene is quite amusing, I assure you.

After the full or more likely partial consumption of burritos, we will walk off approximately 4.3% of the calories consumed and head over to Double Door for No Dough Rock Show. Double Door is about 6 or 7 blocks from La Pasadita, at 1572 North Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. (Of course, you actually enter Double Door at 1551 North Damen.) It sounds like a long walk, but after the La Pasadita burrito, you will want to walk to Milwaukee, not just Milwaukee Avenue. As the name implies, No Dough Rock Shows are rock performances that have no cover charge. The bands scheduled to perform on Tuesday, June 22nd, are Farwell, Kirkland, and Trejo. Doors open at 8:30 PM and the show begins at 9 PM. Be sure to check out their music via the Relevant Links below:

The Creative Social Club (CSC) is the largest multi-disciplinary, eclectic Meetup Group dedicated to the arts in Chicago, organized exclusively to facilitate socializing and the shared enjoyment of life. Comprised of current and aspiring creative professionals, creatively oriented individuals, and enthusiasts of human creativity, the CSC meets regularly to celebrate diverse expressions of the human experience – encompassing visual arts, literary arts, performance arts, and more – while taking advantage of the exceptional social, cultural, and entertainment amenities that Chicago offers as a world-class city. Nearly shut down when its Founder left the group in July 2009, the CSC has grown to over 1,000 members with over 50 Meetups, excellent ratings, and positive reviews.

Although our members include a core of accomplished creative professionals, participation in the Creative Social Club is strongly encouraged for any individuals who have a healthy appreciation for human creativity and enjoy socially and positively engaging other people who share the same passion. Members tend to be smart, sociable, laid back, and happy people. Along with its sister group, the Good Times Institute (GTI), the CSC endeavors to be "well-organized and relaxed", with "fun, friendly, smart people to be around", as described by one of our group reviews. We try to do things just a little differently from other Meetup Groups – more personal, less formal/reverent, unconventional, and innovative/risk-taking. Membership is FREE as Meetup is our labor of love, and we are also cost-conscious in organizing Meetups with starving artists in mind. For a more detailed description including an overview of the variety of Meetups we organize, click here. See the video below for a fun moment from one of our Meetups.

Our motto is "Be Creative. Be Social". If you are worried that you are not creative enough to join, just be more social. And remember: Membership in the CSC is free, but you only enjoy its full benefits if you participate.

Welcome to the Creative Social Club!
