  1. Day 2 of C2E2: Too much

    A few notes from the second day of C2E2 -  a.k.a., the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo - which runs though Sunday at McCormick Place, and in its fourth year, shows signs of not only getting bigger (attendance wise), but becoming comfortingly archetypal (programming wise): Lots of con legends (Burt Ward, Ron Perlman) but not too many, lots of insider chatter (but nothing off-putting), and lots and lots of people in handmade costumes. On the other hand, Adam West canceled at the last minute (back injury) and, surprisingly, DC Comics, which has a full slate of artists, writers, editors and programming (the publisher even designed the official, Superman-centric C2E2 poster), decided against maintaining a booth at the last minute (and would not explain why when asked, though convention costs have been mumbled about).

  2. It's a nerd world

    Once a month, at Third Coast Comics in the Edgewater neighborhood, the store closes for the evening and the knitting comes out. Followed by the drinks. Drink & Draw & Knitting Night is the second Thursday of each month, as it has been since Terry Gant opened Third Coast nearly five years ago. When I asked who actually comes to this, he replied: “Nerds, artists, fiber-arts folks, nerds — by and large, super-nerdy people show up for knitting nights at comic book shops.”

  3. 'Bitter Buddha': Spotlight's a bit brighter on pair's return

    The last time I spoke with comedian Eddie Pepitone was June, just prior to the world premiere of his movie <a href=&quot;http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2012-06-14/entertainment/ct-mov-0615-chicago-closeup-20120615_1_bitter-buddha-lincoln-lodge-comedian">"The Bitter Buddha" in Chicago</a>, where it screened during the Just For Laughs festival. Nine months and several tour stops later, he and director Steven Feinartz (a Buffalo Grove native) return to town this weekend on a triumphant wave of social media fervor. Both will be at the Music Box Theatre on Friday, with Pepitone performing a set Saturday at the Lincoln Lodge.

  4. Interview and performance: Boots Riley and the Coup

    Never before has an interview subject assumed/joked that RedEye was a communist newspaper. Fans of Boots Riley&rsquo;s veteran, socially conscious hip-hop act The Coup probably won&rsquo;t be surprised that he mentioned it.

  5. On the record: Stand-up comics with Chicago ties aim to impress on debut albums

    One of Beth Stelling's motivations for making an album out of her stand-up comedy was to put some of her older, best-working material on the record to, in a way, enshrine it and push herself to move on to the next thing.

  10. Movie Review: Young Adult

    Young Adult is the latest movie from the writer (Diablo Cody) and director (Jason Reitman) combo that brought us the movie Juno back in 2007.&nbsp; Reitman, son of famed director Ivan Reitman, has had a lot of success as a young up and coming director.&nbsp; His last two features (Juno and Up in the Air) each earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Director.&nbsp; He's hoping to score the trifecta this year with Young Adult.
