WHAT WOULD WE PUT ON A MIXTAPE?

Remember being younger and hovering over the record button on your stereo? Waiting in anticipation for the DJ to stop talking so you could tape that last song for your almost done mixtape? It wasn't easy, making the perfect mixtape. A lot of thought went into every song and every transition, not to mention actually getting it on the tape [for those of you without the side-by-side cassette player, we feel your pain].

So do you ever wonder what Chicago's most noted venue owners', DJs', record labels', and musicians' mixtapes would sound like? The Rock For Kids, 7th Annual Music Mixer gives you the chance bid on one-of a-kind mix CDs from all of your Chicago favorites like Hot Dougs and Threadless.

Come out this Friday from 7PM- 10PM and join us for a free [$5 suggested donation] party at Smart Bar. Raising money for a great cause is definitely on our top five list of favorite things to do [c'mon we couldn't post this without a High Fidelity reference] so come out and raise money for Youth Jams while partying with Chicago's music community!
