Books / Arts / Music Live forever in the upcoming Empty Bottle book

Curbside Splendor is dying to know about the darkest nights you've spent at the Empty Bottle, the venerable, forward-thinking mostly rock 'n' roll club in Ukrainian Village. The local publisher wants all the puke and blood you can spare for its upcoming retrospective The Empty Bottle Chicago. An Oral History. 20-Something Years of Piss, Shit, and Broken Urinals, due out in 2015. So, yes, the story about ingesting a handful of mushrooms during a set by Acid Mothers Temple and stripping down to your skivvies just before climbing atop a rickety bar stool to dance till you passed out can finally be put to paper and made timeless. And if you have photos that would be cool too.

Visit Curbside's site to submit.
