Saying goodbye.

Mia Park has been kind enough to gather up the information below for the wakes and funerals of the three Chicago musicians killed last week. I had the pleasure of working with both Doug and John's bands in the past and...hell, everything I type just comes out all wrong. This is a tragedy that I just don't have the interior mechanism to really process at the moment. It's so fucking senseless. They will all be sorely missed.


*****Michael Dahlquist*****

From Tim Midgett: "We are having a wake for Michael Dahlquist this coming Monday. We wanted to do it while his family is still in town--they want to meet people, and we want them to see firsthand the wealth of influence he has had on people in Chicago.

Monday, July 18th - 6:30PM until ???

2621 W. Belmont, Chicago

BYO food and drink. Stuff you can share is great.

Hit the buzzer and go up the stairs. Keep going, through the first door, at least as far as the kitchen.

We want the event to be essentially unstructured but also dignified--much like Mr. Dahlquist was himself. With any luck, we will celebrate Michael's life as much as we will mourn his death. I know his family will appreciate it."
