Saturday, JANUARY 24TH, 2009, WE'RE BACK AT CARY'S LOUNGE - 2251 West Devon - for a meet & greet with our listeners from 4 PM to 8 PM. Drop by and meet your bitter blind broke gap-toothed radio show host Chuck Mertz, plus other staff and listeners of This is Hell!

Starting in 2009, each and every meet-n-greet will be a fundraiser for a different not-for-profit organization. As soon as the first organization is confirmed, (and we're getting real close to finalizing with Chicago's Working Bikes), we'll post all the information here.

Thanks to everyone who came out this past Saturday!
